Monotub & Fruiting
    #10088182 - 04/01/09 04:22 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Sorry for being new, Ive done research(lot of advice for caking) but need advice as Im planning my first grow.  I'll be here a while...

I was going to do Oatmans Tek with a montub. Now I'm thinking monotub is not a good solution because I don't have a real fruiting chamber. Is it possible to leave the lid on to increase humidity or am I forced to do a Shotgun setup? Its going to be a big tub so I cant place inside something.

First of all, a monotub is a fruiting chamber...sort of.  It's also an incubating chamber...sort of.  Hence the name MONOtub.  And a Shotgun FC is usually used when working with PF tek cakes, whereas monotubs are used for bulk sub and spawn.  Hope that helps.

why is a monotub not a good solution? you dont need a FC because monotubs are FC's.

maybe i am misunderstanding your post man

Your confusing what a Monotub is.

"set it and forget it" is the theme

The Monotub does everything all in 1 container from the time you add your spawn to what ever bulk you choose to work with.

Once your subtrate is 100%, induce fruiting conditions and hope for the best :smile:

*posted at same time*

That is comforting I guess. I was worried that the humidity would not be high enough to fruit. I'd hate to get 4 weeks into it and realize my design doesnt have enough humidity.

and inducing fruiting is just removing the cover over a monotub letting the polyfill handle the FAE. Correct?

Just to double check.

I can make a monotub out of the 12QT sweater tubs in the TEK right? Meaning I dont have to use the montub tek for tubs(smaller ones).

How I have seen it done.

- Remove Monotub from garbage bag "if you had it inside one"
- fresh air exchange through polyfill or other "a room with moving air is  enough"
- light 12 on 12 off
- keep an eye on humidity levels
