Opp: 1. Yeah I put the lid back on. I also had my tub sitting on a smaller tub with my aquarium heater in it to help the temps. 2. I did as the tek said. I just laid my piece of plastic back on top of the casing layer and didnt apply pressure. 3. You can do as CrazyC did, or you can just lay a piece of plastic on top. Personally I just laid a piece of plastic on the top. It was easy/cheap/didnt have to have an extra lid lying around or in that case a lid I couldnt use for colonization. 4. Yeah about misting, I havent. My casing is wet enough. I havent misted this whole time and I have beads of water on my casing. I think this might be why I just dont have a sea of shroomz. Whatever though I got plenty growin and I think the second flush will be better. 5. I dont see a problem with it. What I will say is that if you are doing a tub of this size, make up more then 1 jar of casing material for patching. This woulda helped me a lot since I was lazy and didnt feel like pc'ing a second time. So I only had 1 jar and kinda ran out. I love helping people, so ask away. Now on with the pictures. I got lazy today and decided just to upload to shroomery. Also look @ the sides of the casing. Where the casing has moved away from the tub some there are just shrooms flourishing. It is crazy.
So I am deffinatly going to be waiting until sunday to harvest. Wish me luck. Also no updates until then I will try to get some pics right before I leave. My next posting will probably be monday morn. I shall have tons of pics and the wet weight. Edit: Also a question for you guys. Since I am leaving for a bit. I got my airpump and 2 bubble wands. Now last time I left for 1 day I put the bubble wands in there attached to the sides with the suction cup things they come with. It did a good job giving air, but the suction cups sucked. I am wondering when I leave this time should I just run the 2 airhoses into my tub without the bubble wands? Also should I run both airhoses or just 1. I know that last thing is kind of vague but just give me your input guys.

Also something I didnt ask. Anyone else who has done bulk, what is your setup for the first stage of drying? I gotta build myself a setup to airdry them before I start the damprid process. Any suggestions welcome, but I will say I am not looking for something like just set them on a box fan.

Use your window screens in frame as a drying surface. You can put them anywhere jacked up on books or 2x4's

A good method is to get a cheesecloth sack or a mesh laundry sack, any kind of net-like material. Fill it with shrooms and drape it over a fan of any size. 24 hours and you're ready for the dessicant chamber.

Update time.
These first pictures were taken yesterday.




 And then these are from this morning. Notice how a lot of them fell over. There is nothing I can do about this till I am able to get back home and harvest, no biggy though.



Now I dont think my caps are going to open because the veils have already broken and I can see some spores that have fallen out of the openings of the caps. I dunno if I am right but one reason I think they arent going to open is because I wasnt home to fan them and the single line from my air pump wasnt putting in enough air. This is just what I think I could be wrong. I wont be able to harvest till later today, so we will see if any of the caps open up.

The caps will open, it's part of the mushroom cycle (unless they abort, which they didn't). Maz's don't always open symetrically all around, but they'll open.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Great job, pat on the back and all that good stuff.

If I might ask, what were your expenses going into this?

fuckin sweet bro...I honestly didn't think you'd be anywhere near that...did you mention tub size? I haven't read your first post(I just looking at the pictures lol :P) I don't read many grow logs tho so don't take offence...I look at the pictures and check out replys...anyways the reason I mention tub size is cause I was thinking it was something like a 76lt but it must be must be at least double that 
mushrooms are not the prettiest but when you get that kinda weight who cares right? ...I must admit tho I always try to grow for weight and nice healthy pretty shrooms...not that it always happens but its always a goal

Looking nice! I would have expected a little more in weight in comparison to my grow since your tub was much bigger. But it is a kick ass yield. You will probably triple that number through your flushes. Straw likes to give many many flushes!
