only noobs left on the board?
    #10002149 - 03/19/09 03:41 PM (15 years, 3 days ago)

i changed the thread title, cuz out of 320 veiws i get 1 or 2 helpful answers, when my buddie first showd me this site he would ask a question, and there would be lots of helpful guys on here, within minutes of him asking, like P.menace damion shroomy1, where did they all go? but yea i went to bed last nite after i posted my last post, thread had 218 veiws so 102 more veiws and no1 wanted to answer my question.



OK so first off, i have a cambo mono tub which is 18 gallon tub, 4 holes cut in each side, bottom holes have tyvek over them and top holes have polyfill. it contains 4qt not all the way full jars of 100% colonized WBS cambo and 6qt full jars of coir, (i know that is not the correct ratio, i was going for quickness)
    1st. what would be a good ratio in a 18g tub? 2nd after i mixed it, it was completely white and colonized in 5 days, should i have gave it a few more days? so i changed the lid of the tub to a lid with a square cut out with plastic over it taped down, with a 6500K day lite over it for 12 hours on/12 off, it has been like that with the lights for a week now, and its not hypal knotting or anything, also there was some standing water(puddles) in the corners, that bad? they were there for about 2 days, i fanned alot more and they went away but there is still standing water on top of myc, and i haven't been misting much since theres so much standing water in there. so enough with how it is and now to what i want to know, i fan it about 5-7 times a day for about 15 secs, I'm i not fanning enough? or im i just being impatient? i figured a week and no knots or nothing, something has to be wrong? should i just wait? it just driving me nuts i guess lol,
    This is my first mono tub, now to my Koh question, also first time doing Kohs, done a few other strains in small pans, OK so the Kohs i had 1qt not all the way full jar of 100% colonized WBS i spawned it to prolly 1 1/2 or 2 jars of coir(i didn't measure)and a half a handful of spent coffee grounds, in a small prolly 12"L 10"W 2"D aluminum pan, lined with a trash bag.( i cut a square out of a white bag) it took about 2 weeks to colonize, i put it in a shotgun chamber it stays at 80-95% humidity. the lighting system for these are 2 48" 6500K daylight bulbs i put crumbled wax paper over it, it knotted like crazy the first flush was 185g wet 21g dry.and i didn't have tweezers at the time so i left the Lil babies on it. so i dunked it for 4 hours, let drain for 4 hours in my bath tub sitting on a rack,i put it back in the Shotgun chamber its been 4 days, there is 2 on the bottom of it that have been there since 3 days ago, which first flush none was on bottom, and 1 Lil guy popped up this morning, i still have the was paper on it, and nothing is really happening, I'm i just being impatient with this as well? i fan and mist them more often then my mono, OK i think that it is it, if i confused any1 I'm sorry in advance

Naw I wasnt complaning, I was just tired that night and it was a bit hard to read so I had to stop.

About that water pooling up you can always use a paper towel to use and soak up that water and as far as how much to use in your tub do a search for spawn calculator, it seemed to be pretty accurate :thumbup: and good luck on your grow.

well in the mono where it was pooling up in corners, i fanned more often it went away, and thats where some of the best clusters are, in the corners. so it all came out good, so far.

if its a mono then you shouldn't have to fan or mist it. It should sustain a micro climate on its own. but if your getting pins now then go with what is working for you. And the vendor you got you syringe from should have pics and descriptions of em, i know ralphster has alot of pics and descriptions, also try to search for some grows of em using the search bar at the top.

and i was always told u didnt have to do anything with mono's, just set it and forget it, but ive also seen pics on here of monotubs with a PC fan glued to the side for FAE, thinking bout doing that on my next one, but gotta wait for my cam jars to get done, and they do stay pretty wet.
But ive noticed everytime i fan them, i notice new pins or how much growth has happened its great :smile: im just happy, everything pinned about same time, i got that mono, and 4 pans going, 3 cam and 1 pink buff and they all pinning like mad :smile: oh and my 4 cakes started pinning this morning yay.

Tubs do need FAE despite what doodle said. The fan is a bit overkill. Electricity and Moisture do not go together. Just fan 5 or 6 times a day. Let see some pics of those tubs

quit talking out your ass. they do not need fanning what so ever. check out every trusted cultivators grow logs with em. no fanning or misting, and not to mention the man him self just stated it on this thread. check out his and largedoses grows with monos no fanning and not misting and they have some of the best results Ive seen. so know what your speaking of please.

its location location location. You should put your tub in a closet while its colonizing or a room you dont enter. That way the air flow is cut off. You did a ratio that should colonize in about 4 days. If you isnt, its getting way to much air. Use cyran wrap or press and seal to cover the top. I tape off alot of my holes while it colonizes. Not all of them. Co2 is denser than the oxygen so it will sit at the bottom of the tub. Cover your entire project with a trash bag.. to restrict the air flow of the holes you put polyfil in.
Once its colonized (all white). Throw polyfil in the remainder of the holes. Turn on ur lights do the 12/12 cycle. Leave the project uncovered. You dont really need a fan on, I do but you dont have too. Sometimes that can cause humidity to fall below 90%. Ive had good success without making top holes, big mushies but they're arent as many.

Why are you putting filters on your fruiting chambers?

Like dead said, the polyfil holds in the moisture and has little to do with filtering the air. Mono and double tubs don't work the same way a shotgun does. Monos have 1" or bigger holes as opposed to the 1/4" holes in a shotgun. I've tried monotubs without polyfil and the results sucked.

Well its true fruiting chambers dont need to be sterile. Honestly You expose your pasteurized mix to the open air with you mix. Thats not sterile in any way shape or form. Polyfil is a filter yes. But in monotubs its used to keep humidity up. During the colonization process its good to use, and it is somewhat does act as a filter. But after that, its in fruiting conditions that stereotype changes. Tyvek isnt used in monotubs. It restricts air flow during fruiting conidtions.

I was just thinkin about a experiment a shotgun monotub.

The only reason why I say anything at all is my tubs failed without fanning. Somethings work for some people the same ways may not work for others.

If its still colonizing... Just cover the tyvek with tape then.. when its done colonizing stick polyfil in the holes for fruiting conditions.

have you all seen the mono tubs over at myco forums, people over there are simply using 1/4 inch whole at sub level and them some at the top of the tub and leaving em tapped up till colonized and then removing the tape and getting good results. We use polyfil because we use such big whole and its needed to hold the humidity up.

ive used the 1/4 with good and bad results. I started doing em with 2 inch.. but I simply made too many... It didnt work out the best humidity wise.
1" is about perfect.

Yeah I think 1inchers are the best as well. It's just a question of how many holes to use based on the size of your tub.

64 qt bin, six 1 1/4" holes, two on each long side at substrate level, 1 on each short side high up.

Sinched up in a black trash bag during colonization, set in a room with ceiling fan running for fruiting.

NO MISTING, NO FANNING

9.25 OZ's  ... D-R-Y first flush.





Strain has a lot to do with it too. Drill holes in a tub set it in a room with a ceiling fan or a rotating oscillating fan on low. If it doesnt perform, get a different strain or clone one of the fruitbodies it DOES produce and start over. That fruitbody will like the conditions your giving it and the next run will be great.

The link to that grow is in my sig.

now when u had it in ur room with ceiling fan on. what was humidity at? i hear mono tubs self sustain themselves but i dont think mine stays at 90-100% humidity, i got cool mist humidifiers in my bedroom so my room is at 60% all the time, but there has been a few times i open to fan and it looks dry.

OK so noob and off topic question, so i got a few cams that are opening up in my mono tub, but the rest are small still, so I'm wondering can i take a pair of scissors and cut the caps off, and would the stems continue to to grow on? or would they die off?

and also all the pics i see on here the veils are open always they full grown and beautys, but my buddy was telling me that i should pick em b4 they open cuz it stops making the physcoactives in them and focus's on spores so they less potent, any truth to that or should i let them grow to be BEASTLY?

Remove the whole mushroom cutting it with a scalpel or some sort of razor (something sharp enough to cut clean)

The ideal time to harvest is right as the veil is tearing or shortly before

a good example is


or some people prefer harvesting like this


I usually let the caps flatten out for the simple fact I like the way they look that way. Personal preference

If you want prints though you let the caps open up a little bit after the veil tears

Use 11/4" holes, then stick a metal closet hanger bar through em for the dunk...  (like 6 bucks for a six footer at home depot... use a hacksaw or sawzall to chunk it up... even make your holes with it)



Also, the holes in a mono provide little to no FAE, cubes are just way Co2 tolerant... There'll be a positive effect on yield if you fan them... the thing is though, when you're harvesting a half pound off of a single flush (OZZ!)  the difference is going to be negligible.

i changed the thread title, cuz out of 320 veiws i get 1 or 2 helpful answers, when my buddie first showd me this site he would ask a question, and there would be lots of helpful guys on here, within minutes of him asking, like P.menace damion shroomy1, where did they all go? but yea i went to bed last nite after i posted my last post, thread had 218 veiws so 102 more veiws and no1 wanted to answer my question.



OK so first off, i have a cambo mono tub which is 18 gallon tub, 4 holes cut in each side, bottom holes have tyvek over them and top holes have polyfill. it contains 4qt not all the way full jars of 100% colonized WBS cambo and 6qt full jars of coir, (i know that is not the correct ratio, i was going for quickness)1st. what would be a good ratio in a 18g tub? 2nd after i mixed it, it was completely white and colonized in 5 days, should i have gave it a few more days? so i changed the lid of the tub to a lid with a square cut out with plastic over it taped down, with a 6500K day lite over it for 12 hours on/12 off, it has been like that with the lights for a week now, and its not hypal knotting or anything, also there was some standing water(puddles) in the corners, that bad? they were there for about 2 days, i fanned alot more and they went away but there is still standing water on top of myc, and i haven't been misting much since theres so much standing water in there. so enough with how it is and now to what i want to know, i fan it about 5-7 times a day for about 15 secs, I'm i not fanning enough? or im i just being impatient? i figured a week and no knots or nothing, something has to be wrong? should i just wait? it just driving me nuts i guess lol,
This is my first mono tub, now to my Koh question, also first time doing Kohs, done a few other strains in small pans, OK so the Kohs i had 1qt not all the way full jar of 100% colonized WBS i spawned it to prolly 1 1/2 or 2 jars of coir(i didn't measure)and a half a handful of spent coffee grounds, in a small prolly 12"L 10"W 2"D aluminum pan, lined with a trash bag.( i cut a square out of a white bag) it took about 2 weeks to colonize, i put it in a shotgun chamber it stays at 80-95% humidity. the lighting system for these are 2 48" 6500K daylight bulbs i put crumbled wax paper over it, it knotted like crazy the first flush was 185g wet 21g dry.and i didn't have tweezers at the time so i left the Lil babies on it. so i dunked it for 4 hours, let drain for 4 hours in my bath tub sitting on a rack,i put it back in the Shotgun chamber its been 4 days, there is 2 on the bottom of it that have been there since 3 days ago, which first flush none was on bottom, and 1 Lil guy popped up this morning, i still have the was paper on it, and nothing is really happening, I'm i just being impatient with this as well? i fan and mist them more often then my mono, OK i think that it is it, if i confused any1 I'm sorry in advance




You need to break up long posts so they can be read.  On a computer, the lines all run together if you don't put line breaks in, and that's why so many people clicked off your post.

You need to use real sentences, and not run-ons with various thoughts separated only by commas.  Such is impossible to read.  Use proper sentence structure with a capital letter to begin a sentence and a period to end each one.

Break up your separate thoughts into paragraph form like I'm doing here.  That way people don't get lost trying to figure out what you're trying to say.  I tried to read the above but got lost several times and finally gave up when my eyes got watery.  That's why you had so many views and hardly any responses.

I dont think there is anything wrong with new people no matter the age to start growing mushies I mean I think the love of mushrooms should be spread and the more people are takin em the better. Its a culture made for the old and the young. I think most of us forget what its like to be younger I kno I do and bitch a lot about younger kids but then I take a breath in and realize its okay :] i was that young once and had to learn everything just like everyone else.

not to mention the type of mushrooms that a typical 16 year old wants to cultivate its illegal ad there is something wrong with that. there parents will loose there house and possibly got to jail and a whole heap of other negative shit. not to mention when one of there high school biddies eats a 1/4 and flips out thinking he's dieing then they will put it out as a OD on dangerous killing mushrooms, there's nothing good about young kids cultivating them and nothing good will come from it, use your head before you speak.

wow dude
First off a 16 year old can spell better than you can apparently the word is their* not there, as in their parents. I'm not saying oh yea everyone become a mushroom cultivator but I think this is a much better hobby than say
starting a meth lab or like sittin around not doin anything, I mean ya

I agree with galadar they should read a little instead of just askin a stupid question, because yes there is such thing as a stupid question.
But sometimes I think younger people or noobs are a little how should i say scared of asking a little more or trying to learn more because of rude people quite like yourself.. this site I think is like a friend network for common interest not just a be rude about someones opinion.

Cuz that's all i was throwin in was an opinion to maybe make a little more peace.

all about about peace, and mushrooms ;]

Ok check it out. I wasn't out of line or rude at all. I was simply stating the facts. And as far as the spelling goes, i don't give a fuck, i was typing fast and not paying attention. But if you would like to continue on with you opinion that doesn't hold water. Lets do. First off, the forum rules is 18 and older, no one younger should be on here unless they lie about there age in the first place. So with that said why the fuck should we help em. And you make no sense, if they are scared or worried about asking things then they would simply search and do there homework on the topic at hand and wouldn't have to ask the questions. I have no problem with them having an interest in it but i do have a problem with them taking other peoples freedom in their hands as you are telling them to do. You make no sense and have no leg to stand on, so quite trying. Ask any Trusted cultivator or respectable member of this site and you will get the same answer. a 16 year old shouldn't for one be on the site and for two shouldn't be cultivating. they should wait until they get older and move out on there own. so sorry if i upset you but the truth is the truth.

first off referring to me as a 16 year old is kinda of insulting seeing how I'm in my late 20's, second just cuz I'm not the "PF PIMP" I'm a noob and was worried my bad, but wtf is wrong with asking a question.
I didn't feel like searching for hours for the correct answer, when i was introduced to this site, i seen my buddies question always get answered with in like 15 mins. get off my wrinkled sack

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
This isn't a chat room, and flaming isn't allowed in mushroom cultivation.  This thread has served its purpose and now gets to die a horrible death. :starwars:
