Good to know. What's the trash bag liner do and how min extra do I leave? Do I fold it over the sub when I incubate?
Yes.
Then cut the excess off at the top of the sub when its time to fruit.

So it been a week since spawning and I took a peek and thing look great! tons of white fuzzy mycilium! How do I know when its done? Not quite sure about casing...I was reading about just coir working well for people. I have been looking for a ph balancer like oyster shells but cant find that in town

hi Viking , fruit the tubs when the top is covered with mycelium, might be 10 days or so depending on temps , genetics ect.
oyster shells can be found at feed & grain stores or farm stores if you have any nearby.
( edit - oyster shells are often fed to egg laying chickens, if this helps- poultry supplies )
I have some basic experience but still learning.
good harvest

I agree ^ they are ready to fruit.
the circle pattern of mycelium growth is hpyphae fillaments - rizomorphic mycelium growth reaching out from all sides to connect to other mycelium and grow into one living unit. that rope like growth is very desirable - healthy/ productive growth.
you should do very well.

you shouldn't need lime with coir/verm/shells.. none are acidic and the shells will help buffer.. you want lime more so when using peat moss or anything else that's acidic. use the 50/50+ recipe.. 50% coir 50% verm and about oyster shells, depending on the amount of the 100% you use
