First bulk sub grow results: Rye -> Coir -> Monotub -> 1st flush dry weight 143.6g 2

This is my first bulk grow, and not a complete grow log. I just started taking pics like 3 days ago.
I used a microwave Karo B+ strain LC (which I almost threw away!), to 6 quarts of rye, spawned to coir, cased with 50/50 (1/2"), and fruited in a monotub.

What I'm fan drying because all 4 trays of my dehydrator are stuffed
I don't know how much this weighs, but it is an assload of shrooms. I was a little disappointed that I didn't have one of those beautiful full canopies of perfect caps, but I've got nothing to complain about. This is more shrooms than I know what to do with.
A couple things I learned from this time: 1> Use a garbage can liner around substrate to prevent sidepinning. I got too excited when I was doing this and totally forgot this step. Luckily it isn't really a vital step, just a housekeeping step in my opinion. I had a ton of sidepinning and I assume this resulted in less pins on top, and it was a definite pain at harvest time.
2> I think it's probably important to have a nice level substrate, which I did not. I think this would have given me a better pinset, but again, I'm thrilled with my results.
Update 10/10/08: 1st flush cracker dry weight: 143.6 grams or 5.06 oz.
Thanks for checking out my post. Questions and comments are welcome! Happy mycologizing!

nice flush! Did you spawn it to just coir? or did you add anything?

I used large_dose's How i pasteurize coir in bulk Tek, which uses this recipe:
4.5 quarts water 1 brick coir 1 quart coffee 1 quart verm
I highly recommend this tek. It's very easy. I even used the same Lowe's bucket. Coir can be messy, but I imagine every sub can be messy.

Yup. It's dunking now. I filled the tub up with until it almost reached the bottom vent holes. The I put a large roasting pan on top of the sub, then put a cast iron griddle in the roasting pan to weigh it down. Worked great.

I give credit to large_dose's coir tek (see above) for the moisture content. For the 50/50 casing, I just used tap water to get it to field capacity. I didn't even pasteurize it.

Thanks. Nope. I used large_dose's bulk coir pasteurization tek. There's a link to it in another reply above.

Twist when you pull those suckers out! You're ripping a lot of your sub out when you harvest. Minimizing this will help future flushes, as the mycelium expends less energy recovering.
Excellent flush though.

What did you do to move from your spawn run to fruiting conditions?
