Another Grow Post (New to this!)

Hey y'all!
I want to first introduce myself! I'm Sneak, and I wanted to share my small grow with y'all. I am pretty new to all this, and have basically been scouring this forum and a few others for as much information I can find. I've been growing for a few months now, and started to expand a little.
I am growing in a 4x4 tent, and honestly I love having a tent, just for the ease of keeping the environment great, and the ease of cleaning.
Right now I am fruiting, and colonizing my jars in the tent. Not the best, but it has been working for me so far, and until I get another tent to make a clean(ish) room for a flow hood and shelving for colonizing, it will have to do.
I am using 54qt monotubs, for the most part following Bod's Easy AF Unmodified Tub TEK, with a couple changes that works for me. I am using coir bricks for sub, using liners in the tubs (works best for me), and using oats and milo for my spawn jars.
I currently have Tx PE #6, GT, Roatans, Z's, and B+ in the rotation. I personally like the trip of the Roatans best, but the PE's and GT are really fun too!
Here are some pics, and I plan to keep y'all updated along the journey!

Thank you!
It's definitely been a learning curve, but it's honestly so much fun.
I love seeing the growth from day to day.

Awesome stuff what ratio of spawn/coir did you use? And did you let them colonise to 100% or fruit straight away?

Thanks!
I am trying different ratios, but I mainly go with 200g of spawn and 750g of coir (dry).
I like to go straight to fruiting personally. All the pinning pics are straight to fruiting .
I also just started a shoebox size tub for my Roatans. I love the Roatans, but they are terrible for yield. I think I might try a monotub with 300-400g of spawn and 750g of coir and see what happens.

I'm using a similar setup minus the tent (which is awesome). I'm curious what your environmental conditions are (temp/humidity)? I'm working on my first monotub but I'm having issues dialing them in.

Thanks! I really like using the tent. It makes it easy to control the environment.
Honestly I don't keep tabs on the humidity as much as I probably should. But I figure since I am still using the monotubs, it's not *as big* of a deal.
As far as temps, it stays 70-73 degrees F. I have a small heater in there that keeps it pretty good.
One thing I do plan on doing though is moving from a heater with a blower, to a radiant heat, and using a small fan (maybe a big pc fan) for air movement in the ten, to assure the temps are stable in the tent.
You can't see it in the pictures but the heater I have sits on an insulated cooler that I use to pasteurize my coir. But I want to add another shelving unit on the other side, so that's where the radiant heat would be best imo.
I also plan to add led strips instead of the one led light on top.

Those pins look great. Mine are a little... less dense. Did you just do coir/spawn, or did you use some kind of casing layer?

Yup, just spawn/coir. I was using 650g of coir and 200g of spawn, but found that I like to have the extra 100g to use as a casing layer. I find that it keeps my surface conditions a bit more favorable.
I have noticed that when I don't add a casing layer that my tubs don't colonize fully before fruiting, and with the casing layer, I get much more colonization before fruiting. Even when putting straight into fruiting conditions.
