So say theoretically one has a monotub set up with a horse manure/straw/brf spawn substrate so that it is only ONE INCH deep. I know, too shallow... The spawn's been colonizing it for 3 days and is looking real good, but the mycelium is colonizing mostly all of the substrate except for a couple of spots that remain mostly manure/straw. Because its only 1 inch, should I case it to get extra moisture etc.? - the substrate is very uneven and I feel like casing would be even more uneven, giving an uneven pin set. OR should i leave it? -
Also, the mycelium is mainly in clumps from the original brf cake, and also (less) colonized in the poo, but has some bigger spots of poo/straw thats not so colonized. Should I wait until all i see is white? when should I fruit these?

im always for casing and and uneven casinglayer does NOT cause an uneven pinset.
i can be all grooves and hills even like this if u want /\/\ the factor that causes and even pinset is the EVEN PENETRATION of the layer, nothing else.
so go ahead and case it, patch it till it breaks though evenly over most of the layer and get lucky.
and next time, do not use such a shallow substrate,.

So I have a question about a monotub. I've done small 5 gal tubs with great results, and am now switching to larger tubs-66 qt sterilite with 4 one inch holes at substrate level, and 2 up top.
I'm using rye grain spawned to coir verm coffee gypsum mix.
The bottom of my tub is lined with black garbage bag that is not attatched to the sides of the tub (water is able to drain down the side of the tub and under the trashbag-wasnt this way during incubation, but I cut the bag down to size when fruiting). I don't think drying out is an issue, cuz my substrate was a little too wet to begin with.
What I'm finding is my fruits in my first flush are way tiny and a little fuzzy on the stems. I hear fuzzy stems are from high humidity. Could this be a fae problem? I have a fan running on low blowing next to the tub-not on it. Maybe I need more holes? Maybe just genetics, but I've been using other cultures from the same syringe and getting monster fruits in my mini tubs, I just want to move to bigger tubs for convenience. It's a lot of work doing all those 5 gal buckets!

experimenting with holes is always fun 
just mod it to your liking, if you are in a high humidity area already i could see this contributing to the problem possibly.

if you use a bulk substrate you obviously mix spawn with your bulk substrate.
in the original tub i cased grains that i mixed with vermiculite with a verm/peat mixture. (shitload of grains)
i do not see what confuses you.

What are the aprox. dimensions of that tub? What size are the holes? Also how much spawn did you use? I have 3 bags, (about 5-6qt) of wbs done and will be spawning to coir/verm mix with a 1:2-1:3 ratio. I'm using the fine verm, but I saw others are using just verm for a casing layer....
So just to be clear (ive read many other teks) basically I cut the holes,and cover with tape, and mix the bs and spawn. Over with the clear wrap then put the lid on. when thats almost colonized you add the verm layer????
The in FC you remove tape, and use the pollyfil. haha Sorry for that long post. I just love that you can put this in fruiting conditions and just leave it whiout misting or fanning...
