Will do! Hopefully I get fruits out of this tub. My second tub is going real strong and looks way better. Real thick growth and fluffy too! So if this tub is a total waste oh well.

I most likely will. I'm just going to wait till the water distills for a day or two (I'm too cheap to waste 5 dollars worth of store bought water) on a dunk (the sub was made with store bought filtered distilled water). But I'm going to keep fruiting conditions and see what happens. 95% of the tub looks fine as the pictures show. I really just think it was my rooms fault (something was sucking the RH out of it). The tub's RH is way better in closet.

It's really just not an option at the current time. That's also why I didn't make a casing.

Yeah but I'd rather just avoid any chance of contamination. I'm sure that miracle grow stuff is fine with out pasteurization, but I'd rather not chance it at this point. I put so much work into this grow I wouldn't want my laziness to screw it up. I just want this sucker to fruit.

yeah, and uncased is the new cased...
verm would also work as a casing should u choose. very little risk of contam with it.
and like that link that was given earlier, you can use it to fill in the gaps.
should do this...

The lack of casing probably is drying it up a bit, I thought it was cased. It looks fine. The closet will probably be good, just keep doing what your doing and give it a fan or two when you can to speed up the process.

It's from the humidifier. It upped my room's RH. My room at one point was so dry it was in the high teens for it's RH. Running the humidifier 24/7 bumped it up. My closet's natural RH is 33. I place the humidifier in that sucker and now bumped the RH to 60. I noticed the RH in the tub has bumped up (I don't own a hygrometer for the tub). I'm just basing it off of look of the glass (which is very cloudy with water vapor).

Misting+humidifier (in closet)+wax paper+closet=one happy monotub. I thought I'd update everyone. I might not have to dunk this guy. It's pretty much expanded on it's own! I was pretty shocked seeing it this morning. I used about 8 oz of water during the misting process and that really helped out. I knew there was no way in hell that a majority of the sub would be dry. That coco coir was really wet when I placed it in the tub. I think just the edges dried out a bit.

^It's still not filled up 100% but it's noticeably better to the point where I was impressed.

Well that's good to know. I was starting to worry my PE tub was going to fruit first..and that's not even in fruit conditions yet. FYI my PE tub is 100% colonized, but I'm letting it veg for a bit just to be on the safe side. You never can see how things are colonizing on the bottom. It's also got some crazy fucking growth it's very thick and stringy on the edges and nice and fluffy in the middle. Very impressive, it's much nicer looking than this costa rica strain in this tub. PE took longer to colonize, but the quality is there.

prolly is better to wait 1-2 days past 100% when your not casing...i didnt wait and i got a shitty first flush...the second flush looks like its gonna be better though.

Damn I'm waiting 3-5 days. Shroomy1 told me to do that with this tub this and it was noticeably a nicer looking (it veged in this closet so it didn't dry out there). It worked the first time so it should work the second. Both tubs pretty much colonized in about a week so everything should be fresh.
