question about spawn and a 5 gallon bucket...
    #10611102 - 07/02/09 05:28 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

so i've done outdoor grows for awhile now. i feel like i get a bigger yeild and i just love the fact that they are outside.

what im looking to do is spawn some of my horse poo spawn ( about a gallon ) to a 5 gallon bucket of coir.
my question is...will i have to create more holes for gas exchange or will a few holes on top suffice??

after this bucket has fully colonized im going to then spawn it to an outdoor bed..that has some straw and horse poo maybe a little bit of cow poo.
this is my biggest project yet so im really excited!

if there is any advice...please feel free too share it. :tongue:

When I did 2 different 5gallon bucket grows I only had plastic over the top. no holes.  And the ol' crumpled wax paper sitting on the sub that got replaced a couple times. 

I know you're not fruiting them in the bucket, but those who do usually find trouble keeping up a good rh if there are holes in the bucket.  You cover the top of the bucket with two over-lapping pieces of plastic- to fan you just stick a finger or two inbetween the sheets and push the plastic up-and-down. 

Even if the substrate in the 5gallon bucket is only 3 or 4 inches deep it's really easy to harvest at least 1.5oz dry. :shineon: ~Pixie~

yeah i might fruit in the bucket in a later grow..but i have my outdoor bed set up and everything.
do you think i should just put a piece of foil over the top and then poke some holes??

I had plastic taped over the top of the bucket while it colonized, but again, opened it all up a couple times to change the wax paper underneath. 

Perhaps covering the top tightly with foil that has some tiny holes cut into it would be better?  I haven't tried.  Someone else will weigh-in on your bucket grow though. ~Pixie~

buckets are a lot like monotubs and thats all I do, so if your just colonizing the bucket and using it for spawn in an outdoor bed then you should just cover tightly with foil/plastic and just a couple of tiny holes for gas exchange only. maybe cover holes with micropore tape to be safe, NO wax paper on surface.  I would use clear plastic to check on colonizing cuz you dont want to open it and expose it to air untill its 100% fully colonized.  then when its fully covered with myc spawn it to your bed.


hope this helps.:thumbup:
