First monotub grow
    #28272029 -

Just wanted to share my first monotub grow in my Martha tent setup and see if anybody had any input. This is my first monotub grow. I built a 2x4 Martha tent with a humidifier box using a disc fogger and in-line fan, I also have a inline fan with a hepa filter on it blowing fresh air. As well as a ceramic heater bulb to control temperature. I used some liquid culture to inoculate a bag of milo/sorghum. I inoculated on March 13th and let sit at around 80 degrees. I did a break and shake March 27th and spawned to bulk April 3rd. I just put my bulk substrate in fruiting at about 85-90% humidity and 70-75 degrees on April 8th. It’s been two days since then and I have yet to see any pins. I did not put a casing layer in this first run to see how it would grow. That picture of my tub is the day I put it into fruiting, anybody have any suggestions or does it all look good.

What are you growing, as with most cubes at least, a tent, heater, humidifier and fans aren't needed and can be detrimental?

For cubes all you need is a tub and a lid. Anything else is excess.

This write up is spot on, the blanket over tubs for consolidation is outdated, tubs should be introduced to "fruiting conditions" right after spawning.

This is my understanding as well. I've actually not seen a grow set up like this on Shroomery before (granted, I'm super nooby). Sounds like you've got a lot invested in this. I hope it goes well.

From what I've read, I'd increase humidity until the pins arrive. Somewhere between 95 and 98%, and then decrease to just above 90% when pins arrive.
I'm a noob with little experience so... take my advice with a grain of salt.

Humidity doesn’t really matter as long as your surface conditions are good.

Still fuzzy on what makes for good surface conditions... Daily misting? Leaving it alone? Missing 5x per day?
Does OP having a humidifier effect surface conditions? Would they need to mist the surface as well as having the humidifier?

I'm full of questions today.

Good surface conditions = surface covered in micro droplets of water with no pooling. If it requires misting to maintain then do so but never fan cause that’s dumb and counter intuitive.

Wow I'm working on my first tub too and yours is growing so much faster. I wonder what the main factor is for speed of growth..

There are a variety of factors - whether the spawn was clean, temperature, genetics, what strain is being grown and so on. A slow colonizing substrate doesn't necessarily indicate that there's something wrong. A super slow one though might. Also, welcome to the Shroomery.
