Bucketing with Blake * 5
    #18892960 - 09/26/13 08:01 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Here's my take on buckets. All my info was gathered from Otto and his buckets, I just want to show everyone how to make them with 5 gallon buckets.

Take your bucket, measure to 4 inches, and mark it with a marker.





Then drill 4 1" holes around the bucket, equal distance from one another. Then do 2 holes on the top, roughly even as well (it's not super important to make sure it's exactly right)





Now take 1 qrt of colonized grain, mix it in with about 3-4 qrts of pasteurized substrate.(depends on how high your bottom holes are. Mine are around 3.5"-4" tall, but 3" will work fine. Don't go about 4" though). Then tape up the holes with micropore tape, and cut a trash bag into a sqaure 2'x2'. Place over the bucket, and rubber band the top. If you dont have a big rubber band, find something else. I've used an old pair of boxers where i cut off the elastic band and secured the plastic over the top. We're mycologists, be creative :laugh:





Then when it's fully colonized, remove the tape and replace with polyfill. There should be excess plastic over the top, so try and get all that excess in the middle, with the rubber band just securing the very edge of the trash bag. Whenever you want, just push the bag down in the middle, then pinch it and pull it up. It acts as a "lung" and provides excellent FAE :thumbup:




And there you have it. This is an excellent way to do a variety of things. If you grow bulk and end up with extra jars, throw them in buckets. Buckets are $3, and everything else you should already have. This is also a great small scale way to test cultures and see if liquid cultures are clean. From the times I have done this, I averaged 1.75oz dried first flush, and they did suprisingly well in subsequent flushes.

Happy bucketing:cheers:

I did this (outdoors) without drilling holes or pasteurizing my sub. This morning I noticed pins finally, it took almost 3 weeks but I think that is because its been getting down in the 50's at night.

One of my buckets is knotting up. I'll post pics with a pin set. I did 2 buckets for my first grow, along side a mono tub. I did the buckets so I didnt put all of my eggs in one basket, and it truly paid off. 1.75 oz in 1 bucket and 2 oz in the other, with another oz pumped out of each during subsequent flushes. My mono also yielded 6 oz :laugh: off of MS amazon liquid culture, although no pics :frown:

I'm thinking of doing something very similar to this with  9 1/2 pint BRF cakes spawned to coir in a bucket and put outside. Can't be f***ed with pf tek anymore as the SGFC is a waste of space in my living environment but don't wanna completely waste the cakes...

Slugs eat anything I put in a bed outside so I think a bucket could work :thumbup:

I'm doing this exact same thing now, but with a 2,5 gallon bucket.
Do you get enough FAE with only two 1" holes at top level?
Mine doesn't seem to do, can you maybe elaborate a bit on your fan settings or airflow in the grow room?

I always have a fan going in my room. Never pointed at my tubs/buckets.

If you arent getting enough fae, try using the plastic covering as a "lung". Push it in, the pull it out. This will help circulate the air in the bucket. Do it a few times a day and see if your fruits are looking better :thumbup:

1 qrt of spawn and ~$5 worth of materials (bucket, coir/verm). Total yield for first flush was 57 grams, or just over 2 oz dried.

Is that an iso?  Nice yield, I usually only got about an ounce per bucket when I was doing them.

ya it's an isolate. But these jars were spawned to buckets rather than G2G'd into spawn bags for tubs because they didnt look near as good as my other jars.

Glad they produced well. All I can ask is for another oz from a 2nd and 3rd flush and i'll be a happy camper

All you can ask is for 3-4oz off a quart of spawn :eek:.  Some people would love to have that problem.

If if do, I would highly consider using this method for my bulk growing over tubs.

When I do tubs, I use 5-6 qrts of spawn and get 8oz dried first flush with about an oz for the second flush, then toss after 3rd flush.

I have other buckets, so if i note this trend with those, i'll do like 10 buckets next time. It would mean about a 50% increase in efficiency (I would have to factor in time spent doing 6 buckets to 1 tub).

Or maybe i'll do a tub with a much lower spawn ratio. That sounds like a better plan to me. Maybe 3 qrts of spawn to a 66qrt monotub. I use RGS so I have an incredible amount of inoculation points
