I just recently started growing but have caught on pretty fast. I just started in june and have already hatvested over 250gs of dry mushrooms from a few monotubs and shoe boxes. I also made my own agar and poured my own plates a couple times. Plus cloned and taken spore prints that i inoculated agar with that I'm waiting to grow now. So far I like all the information that I've heard from your videos. It seems to make sense. One question do you think it would be okay to not use a liner and let the water reabsorb into the cake as it drips down?

You can, I have found that leads to more contam issues, due to saturating the cake too much myself. Would prolly be fine for shoe boxes tho, but bigger tubs, I would suggest a liner. The cake if saturated too much will get all slimy at the bottom and such with too much moisture. Side pins and pinning from the bottom will be another issue without using a liner. I started off not using one and quickly found out that was not the way too go lol. But I use sterlite gasketed tubs so the moisture stays in those pretty well.

just put a straw in there and suck it out, thats what my uncle always had me do

As that could work I suppose, your mouth is full of contamination and would be afraid of that causing problems potentially.... I would not suggest that myself.
