Mini Mono Tub update w/ pics * 36
    #10713572 - 07/21/09 07:26 AM (14 years, 6 months ago)

There seemed to be a lot of interest in this thing, so I figured I'd give it a thread of its own and some pics to show it off.

Here's the overview:
Tape (or paint) for bottom 4 1/2 inches, then drill 1/4" holes every 2". (Thanks RR!)
It takes a half-brick batch of coir, or a similar amount of other substrate. I use 2-3 quart jars of spawn. This particular tub has Oak Ridge growing.




Fruiting conditions were introduced on 7/8. Which is to say, I took it out of the plastic bag it had been in and set it near a window. It's in an uninsulated utility room, so it gets a natural temperature and light cycle.


No fanning at all- zero. I mist once or twice a day as needed.


Inside view. Yes, that pin is nearly as big as my thumb.


I should be able to update this again in 3-5 days, if all goes well. :thumbup:

Flush matured faster than I thought- I woke up to this:


Went to work, came home to:

So I harvested 11.6 ounces of fresh mushrooms, including this gorgeous cluster:
Gotta love it when the spores get all over your hand!

Here's the other tub I made at the same time. Same LC, but multispore, so I would expect similar, but not necessarily identical results between tubs. This tub was left on a shelf next to my greenhouse, in an inside, indoor room that gets a bit stuffy. It didn't pin for weeks. Then I put it inside my 4-tier greenhouse, and it exploded.

So I think the traditional oscillating fan is indicated for most people in most situations.  We know that FAE makes bigger, healthier, meatier fruits. It doesn't look like much in the pics, but those fruits are dense. 18.7 ounces is the harvest weight. They get the fan tonight, I can't put them in the dehydrator just yet. :sad: :cool:

I think the measurements are the bounding box. But you can look at the pics- the holes are drilled two inches apart, and it's a half batch of substrate.

Do go check them out at the dollar store or wherever. 1896 and 1894 also.

Edit- you can see the holes well ion this shot.

The engineer in me cringes to think that they'd waste that much space, but I now see the rather drastic taper from the outer edge of the lid. That is a LOT of lost space so the ~2 gallon discrepancy we were having isn't so insane upon closer inspection.

And after a minute or two of thought the reason for the drastic taper sets in, so they can fit within one another.

Aaanyhow, it's a wonderful hybrid design you've got there and I can't wait to see more folks implement it.

Well I got my holes drilled & my coir is cooling.

I don't have black bags so I taped the outside, I hope it works.

I did add drainage holes, Thanks Doc.


I got a question tho,
Do I leave all the holes covered during colonization?






..shit forgot the drainage in one bin.. dammit I just cleaned them.

The latter; it generates its own humidity like a shotgun FC, it is out in room air.
But you can put them in a greenhouse, too- the second tub in this thread started in room air then went in the gh.

Second tub, second flush came in: 6.4 oz harvest weight.
So that's 25 wet ounces total, easily a record for me for a single tub. Yay me!

This one tried to escape:

Would have made it, too, if I hadn't come along. :thumbup:

Here's the 1894 version set up as a dubtub. Bottom half is built the same as the bottom of the minimono, and holds the same amount of substrate. You can put the lid on it for colonization, it's very space-efficient.

 

Dense, dry fruits- my humidifier is acting funny, I think there was lightning damage even through the surge suppressor. And it cleared my digital timer. But the mushrooms look fine despite all that, 22.3 ounces harvest weight.



No prints from this batch, sorry.

It's a fun strain, I know people will enjoy the prints that have already gone out. And I guess I should have a contest or something, people keep begging me for freebies.

Ok, guess the final dry weight from this dubtub harvest:

Spores will be sent only where it's legal. Post a guess here, and I'll PM the member with the closest guess. If you're on my ignore list I won't see you, you can't play. Contest open until the final weighing, I'll post here when the time comes. Winner will be notified by PM.

22.3 ounces harvest weight. Thick dense fruits. My guess: 75 grams

Nice! Its amazing how mushrooms vary. This is the same size tub, i used 2qts of spawn. And i got the same amount of weight as you. But check out the number of shrooms you got over mine. Kinda crazy to think they weigh the same.
