growing mushrooms is saying goodbye to life?

Hey guys
I've been thinking about a few things, and I've had some doubts.
I've been growing shrooms for a short time and I've been following basic steps to the letter. For example: I fan and spray the sides of my monotubs three times a day, every day.
Is all this support really necessary? I'm not doing a lot of things because I have this daily commitment, and honestly, I wouldn't want to stop growing mushrooms, but I wouldn't want to be so radical as to not go out with my friends, or sleep at my girlfriend's house at the weekend.
I've been reading about in vitro cultivation, but the yield is much lower than what I've had, and I love seeing great rewards... I've been very happy with that.
Any suggestion?
Peace for all!

Bro, you need to relax. Your mushrooms will be fine if you go out with your buddies and have a drink or to your girl's to get your dick wet.

As long as your bulk substrate is at proper field capacity there’s no need to mist before the 1st flush is picked. It’s basically a set it & forget operation. Put your light on a timer & let it do its thing. There’s no need to keep a super close eye on things. Aside from watching for contams…

It’s the opposite, growing mushrooms is when your life truly begins. Stay enlighten young one

No need to do either of those things. If you do find that your substrate is getting dry though, mist the substrate, not the tub. The mushrooms aren't growing out of the plastic. It takes about 30 seconds to mist a tub .
Mush cult is mostly waiting. You do an hour or two of work, then you wait a couple weeks. Rinse, repeat. I work full time, take 10 credit hours of school, spend time with my friends/family and still have time to put together a couple of tubs.
This is a fascinating hobby with great rewards. Mushrooms have a knack for bringing people together, Well worth the effort.

It should be more hands off than that.
Following the teks, and following the all the instructions is proven results... Now just take it one step back and ask yourself if you understand why you're misting and fanning 3x daily. With experience, when you know what you're actually doing, you should really only need to check in from time to time and see what they need.
Your solution is possibly the shoebox tek or similar... Smaller, set it, and forget it - ish. Just enough for you to get more insight into your surface conditions, and you can have like 80 of those things if you're worried about yield. Monotub is the exact same in theory, just bigger, and any modifications anyone makes to a tub, or recommended spraying times, etc... is all to achieve a beautiful micro-climate. (Even if that's in a tub, bag, box, birdhouse, bouncyhouse, bathtub, bucket, greenhouse, etc... lol)

Yeah once you get your coir hydration and tub airflow dialed in you’re set.
I spawn a tub and don’t touch it until harvest. As do a lot of the guys on here. There’s a little bit of a learning curve initially while you get things dialed but after that it runs itself.
For me the biggest thing was making my coir slightly wetter. There’s a range of field cap hydration that will work fine but there’s also a sweet spot where the tub will create it’s own conditions perfectly. Once I started adding a tiny bit more water to my coir I never needed to mist.

Once I was able to get clean cultures on grain, I was able to run my coir a little on the wet side and it has really helped a lot. If your spawn is bacterial though, it can be detrimental. My shoeboxs now keep perfect conditions through the first flush, zero misting needed. I just spawn them and let them sit until the mushrooms are against the lid, then I just dun tub it and harvest a few days later. Sit and forget is the way to go. Frees up my time to start new projects as well.

Second the clean spawn thing.
Good, clean spawn with solid genetics requires far less attention to achieve success.
You can either wait until ignoring your grow is a simple necessity, or intentionally push the envelope in that direction. Either way, over time, you'll figure out what works.
At the right phases of growth, with everything dialed in, you should be able to leave for a week without difficulty.
Another thing is to just make lots of spawn, and not worry so much about some of it not doing great/not making it to harvest. I think that's also one of the best ways to "clean up," so to speak, becasue if you're swimming in all sorts of spawn then you're more likely to notice and dump the bacterial shit.
But still, yeah, at the end of the day, cultivating just about anything does tie you down a bit, and you've got to decide whether you can find a rhythm to it that fits your desired lifestyle.

Probably get better yield not fucking with them so much. One of my best grows, especially early on, happened when I went on vacation & came back to shoeboxes full. Was gone for a week, those tubs did better than the ones I constantly screwed with. Myc is much more resilient than ya think, just give them what they need & let'r ride. Good luck!
