Commenting to report back later, because I put a couple shoeboxes into a traditional monotub today after spawning.
Thanks for the easy write up, Munch!

Not sure if posting in this thread is appropriate. If not please advise. Very thankful for Munch's work and efforts. Wondering if this shoebox looks OK or if the experts think that it may need to be hydrated?

This has really helped me streamline my setup, consolidate grows, and save space. Working out great so far...

I'm using smaller 46.6qt gasket sealed boxes so I am curious to see if this restricts air flow too much.
I set up a pasty EZ dial tub to compare the monos with too.

Hey Munch or others with more experience than I...
PE Shoebox - First signs of the white speckles (primordia I presume) showed up about a week ago with a significant increase over the few days that followed. Curious if there are any apparent issues that might be stalling the fruiting process or if patience might be the issue.

Mycone, How did things work out? I'm at about the same stage as your picture. I'm got some knots forming, but am concerned about moisture. I just sprayed the bigger tub and a super light mist on the shoebox. RH seems to be at 90-92 steady.
Also, if Munch can chime in: I had one shoebox that was developing much slower. I spawned to bulk 4 days after the first one and it's still slowly developing. will the be an issue if I have one tub closed and the other open? Do they rely on each other to provide proper moisture in the bigger tub? or does it not matter?
Thanks!

How many flushes should we bother with for shoeboxes, munch.
Only seeing crappy 2nd ones after good first flushes with shoebox, thinking it's a water problem

Reading all of the info available is one thing, retaining and understanding what you’re reading is everything. Take notes of your processes and when things go wrong you can look back at your notes. Clean spawn is king, if you don’t have that, you’re already moving in the wrong direction. Spawn bacterial jars to learn from it, and then work on your grain prep and culture. Giving up is too easy, and once you’ve got an understanding of what you’re doing, growing mushrooms is even easier!

The video for this tek is no longer active. I'm guessing it covered the significance of the larger tub housing the smaller ones.
Can anyone explain the purpose of the outer housing tub?
Thanks!

It creates a single fruiting chamber housing 2 shoeboxes for easier environmental control as well as the added headroom.

Awesome, nice vid, thanks for reposting that.
Do you have a coir TEK that you follow? It looks like it's at a really nice field capacity in the video. And not having to apply water at any future stage spells huge win.
Also, how many flushes per shoebox do you typically yield from your TEK?

Those grows look amazing,
Would it be okay to use 2 quarts of spawn in each shoe box? Would I use the same amount of sub?
