Quadruple Mega Mono Tubs!
    #10798684 - 08/04/09 01:25 PM (14 years, 9 months ago)

Materials:

4 x 56qt Bins
4 x Additional Lids fitted with Plexi Glass
4 x Suringes from Ralphsters Spores.
20 x Quarts of Spawn

Experimented with NOT using trash bags and used 2 inch hole saw to drill the holes.



Bulk Substrate consisting of coir/coffee/verm/gypsum



Spawn ratio was between 1:4-1:3



Left to colonize on shelf in closet with fan running.



80 Percent Colonized



Now for the pinning!!!

Set up a nice light system.



Plexi Glass was hard to fit but a great idea.





Amazon is not pinning yet, but I figured I'd open it to fruiting conditions along with the others, hopefully the mycelium has gotten close to consolidation :frown:





The golden teachers look VERY promising.



---------------------------

This will be my main thread for the duration of this grow.  I will most likely ask a lot of questions along the way.  Guidance, Input, Questions, etc are all highly welcomed.  Thanks everyone, this is an exciting grow for me.

Oh yeah, I am lookin' forward to seeing this.  Do you have one hole on each side of each tub as well, or just on the front/back?

Sub depth?

Some folks cut a few small slits in the top plastic cover if they encounter a lot of condensation.

Looks good. Thanks for sharing the pics.  Best of luck.  ~Pixie~

You don't need the trash bags because the tub itself is not clear.

The one thing I am worried about n your case, is running out of room.  You do not have very much space between the top of the substrate, and your lid.  You may have to turn these into dub-tubs.

You mean you'll be answering questions, right?

Answers:

Sub depth for amazon and golden teacher is 4 inches because I used 4 qts spawn for them.  Texan is 5-6 inch depth because I used 5 qts, and chilean is around 4 inches with 3 qts of spawn, but it colonized nicely.

6 holes total, 2 on each long side, 1 on each end.

I have a sweet 4 tiered jerky dyhydrator, and I havent gotten to use all 4 tiers yet, but now I will :smile:.

The substrate has shrank a bit and this could be a problem without trashcans, but the light is hitting directly on top so I should be ok.

Dub tub?  Hmmm whats that mean? Double Tubs obviously but...

I should be getting between an oz and 2 oz's dry from each first flush.  My 20 qt mono tub yielded 3/4 oz on the first flush, but these are 3 times bigger so well have to wait a few days and see!!!

Quick Q:  How much polyfil do I want to yank off and put in each hole, I didnt really measure anything, and I'm unaware of how much fae is actually getting through.

Enough so it stays in the hole. You don't wanna pack it down, otherwise you're restricting air flow.

As always, never count your yield before harvest, but I bet you get closer to two ounces than one for your first flush.

Good luck!  :cool:

Your substrate looks dry,  may be it's just the light but they all looks dry.  The Amazon looks really dry,  the coir is turning a light color normally meaning it is totally dried out.

Coir/Coffee/Verm/Gypsum

WBS

The mycelium is wet, and its most definately the lighting im sure, when I was loading in the sub, I was worried it would be too wet to be honest.  The amazon strain has been inconsistent with its colonization speed and direction of colonization.  I may have introduced it to fruiting conditions a bit too early, but since the other 3 were pinning, I decided to let it join in.

Keep in mind these are all MS.  And were all for mono tub experimentation, if I get some good genetics, than spore prints will be underway.

Oh I will, a month and a half ago when I was inoculating 24 jars, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  More supplies to be bought, a shit load more information that needed to be read up on regarding monotubs, and what the hell I'm going to do with all of it.

8 Years ago I embarked on my first mushroom trip, 2 years before that I read numerous trip reports here on shroomery, and mushroom hunted regularly.  And here I am now, embarking on an ambitious project, thanks to everyone here on this SPLENDID website, I have achieved one of my aspirations.  And am currently now enrolled in a university double majoring in Videography and Mycology.

Its a wonderful feeling.  Why is it that we humans are so fascinated the the beautiful shape of the mushroom, and the way that it forms, the potential it holds, and altered states of consciousness alone?  Because its right, thats why. 

I'll update with pics tomorrow.

But wait, one question.

I decided to start my light cycle at night, so while I'm sleeping, the lights in my closet are on, but I feel that it may attract attention with lights coming out of my window. Is it at all possible at this point to shift my light cylce so that I have it on during the way instead of night, can I ween my light cycle from night to day or can I just leave it on for 24 hours and then turn it off at night then start that way?  Or shoudl I wait till the first flush is over and then while dunking and afterwards I can shift it to light cylces during the day?  May be a dumb question, but I feel its worthy to ask at such a precious time during fruiting.

I say keep it off for 24 hours and then relight back during the day. This would simulate real world settings more than keeping it on 24 hours.
