Penis Envy Monotubs!
    #10884486 -

Hello everyone, I have been reading on this site for a very long time but just got started on my first grow and here it is! I would like to thank Roger Rabbit, Monster Mitch, ohmatic, fahtster, and everyone else for the inspiration and knowledge to do this!
This is    PE MS>LC>WBS> Monotub (coir, coffee, gypsum, verm)

All started from this:


Then

And then...


After about 10 days....


Finally got them into the monotubs and a few days later: 






I placed them into fruiting 3 days ago so pins should be soon! Questions comments suggestions always welcome!
Peace :smile:

exactly what i was thinkn, if its cotton you deff. dont want to use that. but on another note if this is your first grow, way to go dude. just proving that with enough reading and learning the process, you can go straight to grain and bulk sub.

haha dudes yall are killing me!!!!! Awesome tub there man and beautiful flush! I cant wait!!!!

These tubs are pretty easy to handle but i did crack two of the substrates due to some harsh handling by me. They take a lot of substrate to get around the 4 inch mark, i used 1.5 bricks of coir per tub with verm coffee and gypsum

Mr. metalshroom,

Thanks for the rhizo heaven substrate photos ... very, very nice.

.... not to keep harping on the polyfill / fiberfill thing ... but, you got 'batting' which is the same material but manufactured in bats ... fiberous sheets for bulking up quilts etc. .... you want 'stuffing' ... for stuffing into stuffed animals.  It's like the cotton'y stuff you started with but it is made out of poly fibers with are not contamination magnets like an organic material might be.

PE will make you wait.  My fastest regular cubensis will fruit after 5 days.  The PE take about 10 days to fruit and then fruits developed slowly after that.

It is very resistant to neglect ... in fact, it seemed to thrive in set and forget monotubs. When I did mist my developing PE fruits, they developed dark water spots, got blotchy / abort'y .... so I fanned them and left them alone.

We did three 18 gallon (72 qt.) monotubs and one 10 gallon (40 qt.) monotub.

We hit two of the 18 gallon monotubs just right and did 2,094 and 1,921 wet grams.  The other 18 gallon tub did 1,305 wet grams.  The smaller 10 gallon tub did 849 wet grams but had the biggest fruit.  These are 1st flush weights ... all the tubs got trich. after the 1st flushes and that was it.

I can't resist showing off the best tub and the biggest fruit.  Thanks for indulging me.

Good luck to you.

nice job yo!  Nice rhizos for sure... how'd you prepare the tubs?  Yeah, I was going to say that you need to be more patient than with regular cubes.  10 days is about what I had going on in mine as well... if there's one thing that this hobby will teach you, it's patience.

Nice pics everyone else too. :thumbup:

Really looks amazing much better than mine, lol.

I was wondering what spawn ratio did you use? Temperature of the room they colonized in? How long from spawning to those first colonized pictures? Pretty sure that info wasn't listed but if it was sorry I missed it.

Re: Penis Envy Monotubs! [Re: 420service]
    #10896044 -

Thanks for stopping by everyone. I used 2.5 quarts of spawn per tub. I just mixed it up with the pasteurized substrate and it has been chilling in a 75-80 degree room. I had duck tape over the holes on the ends and the polyfill stuffed tight for colonization.  For fruiting it i loosened the poly and replaced the duck tape, and put a small fan in the room. i get indirect sunlight and CFL light for 12 hours. It took probably 4-5 days intill it looked 90% but i waited another 2 days to throw it into fruiting. I am now misting and fanning whenever i see it needs the extra humidity.

One thing i noticed is that the tubs with the rizo myc were the tubs that i put like an inch of coir over all spawn on top, the other 2 more fluffy looking ones had spawn mixed on top of the substrate, they all took the same time to colonize.

As far as yield for my first grow, i really want 5 ounces from 2 flushes per tub. Once i get my shit down and a nice strain isolate i don't see why i cant get 10 per tub...

Haha lets hope your elephant doesn't have a bad trip, that would be a buzz kill

Probably not man, i would use minimum 2 quarts. You might end up with contams because it will take a while to colonize. Do you not have a Pressure cooker? If you are serious about this then stop wasting money on those expensive ass jars and do it yourself

So can anyone tell my why my pins look like shit? Lighting is good, my temps are 75-80, my humidity is 90% +, i have been misting and fanning. So why are my pins breaking veil and curling up already? Its been about 3 days since first pins and they are growing extremely slow. My substrate is still moist and squishy. I have a tub with 1 single pin and the other showing none, the other two have tons of little pins which dont seem to be maturing.

Ok well I am pretty sure the reason for my slow pin growth is me pumping the ac at night when I pass out, and the room that the tubs where in gets down to like 60-58, with the ac vent pointing at the tubs :frown: I dont know how i didn't realize this earlier but this morning when I opened the tubs i felt how cool it was in there probably in the 60s. During the day the temps are nice and warm, but I got a little space heater now to keep the temp up at night, and no more ac! Can anyone confirm with me that this would lead to slow growth?

Yes..lower temperatures lead to slower growth.

Doesnt look like I will be yielding shit from these unless they take off all of the sudden. The fastest pin maybe has grown an inch in 3 days, I have no idea what I am doing worng, i guess ill just clone one of the nicer ones and throw these  out. What a waste of fucking time and money

Quote:
During all those years of experimentation and research, I never once made a discovery. All my work was deductive, and the results I achieved were those of invention, pure and simple. I would construct a theory and work on its lines until I found it was untenable. Then it would be discarded at once and another theory evolved. This was the only possible way for me to work out the problem. ... I speak without exaggeration when I say that I have constructed 3,000 different theories in connection with the electric light, each one of them reasonable and apparently likely to be true. Yet only in two cases did my experiments prove the truth of my theory. My chief difficulty was in constructing the carbon filament. . . . Every quarter of the globe was ransacked by my agents, and all sorts of the queerest materials used, until finally the shred of bamboo, now utilized by us, was settled upon.

Ok well after a little researching, I think it has been a combination of the low temps at night, and a dry substrate. I found some good stuff from RR (like always) and i hydrated my tubs with a few cups of water. They were starting to feel very light and having trouble holding humidty. Also I did crack the substrate in 3 of them, because of me  moving them around much. So I am sure that helped the drying out

Hey dude I just read your whole thread and I can help you.
First, don't throw anything out.
Second, your mycellium and mushrooms look healthy. Theyre growing in random directions because of the moving light.
Third, if four different monotubs inoculated with random multispore genetics are all in the same conditions and all growing small mushrooms, I'd say the conditions are more likely the cause than the genetics.
Fourth, find a way to stabilize your temperatures at night so that they don't drop below 70 at any point.
Fifth, and this should have been first, you need to be honest with yourself about everything if you want to be successful and especially if you want to stay free. If your grow doesnt work, its your fault, not the mushrooms. If you place healthy mycellium in these conditions it will make mushrooms
Primordia Formation:
Relative Humidity: 95-100%
Air Temperature: 74-78 deg. F.
Duration: 6-10 days.
CO2: less than 5000 ppm.
Fresh Air Exchanges: 1-3 per hour.
Light: Diffuse natural or exposure for 12-16 hours/day of grow-lux type fluorescent light high in blue spectra at the 480 nanometer wavelength.

Cropping:
Relative Humidity: 85-92%.
Air Temperature: 74-78 deg. F.
CO2: less than 5000 ppm.
Fresh Air Exchanges: 1-3 per hour.
Flushing Pattern: Every 5-8 days.
Harvest Stage: When the cap becomes convex and soon after teh partial veil ruptures.
Light: Indirect natural or same as above.

What I mean when I say being honest with yourself is if your temperatures are dropping into the 60's your conditions aren't "optimal", and if you have four monotubs all with different multispore spawn its not the genetics if they all show the same failure. Blaming your failure on things you havent experienced and dont understand is the road to the next failure.
Sixth, never decrease your fresh air exchange, you want constant fresh air exchange. A tub in a clean room that is sealed will contaminate from the stale air before a tub with constant air exchange in a dirty room. I fruited tubs in a house full of garbage. I had wood floors in my room that I kept clean, sprayed disenfectant frrequently, and had air exchange going 24/7 by fans and the window. I also manually opened the tubs and fanned them multiple times a day. Whenever you open the tub you release humidity so you need to mist but not directly at it, do it in an arc so it falls on it.
Seventh, go to a petstore and get a thermometer and hygrometer meant to be used in lizard tanks. People say the analog dial ones are the best but I used electronic ones. This will let you actually know what the conditions are in the tubs instead of just guessing, allow you to fine tune your conditions and develop an understanding of what is actually going on. You cant guess or measure humidity with your eyes. The temperature inside the tubs is not the temperature it says on your thermostat or the temperature in your room. Get your tubs internal temp to 76 and your humidity to 90-99 with constant fresh air exchange and your tubs will explode with fruits.
Eigth, you say your substrate is dry? When you spawned it was your substrate at field capacity? Could you pick it up without it dripping but squeeze it and produce water? Your substrate should only be dry if it was dry when you spawned it or if youve left it right infront of a high powered fan and lost all the humidity. If that was the casee your caps would be cracked which they are not in your pics. I know you said you loosened the polyfill but make sure there really is room, make the polyfil less if you need to, you need air exchange.
Ninth, I havent grown PE before but their caps are irregular, if that is PE perhaps they look like theyre mature early but theyre still growing. Someone whos grown PE can tell you.

My diagnosis:
-All the tubs in the pictures I see are healthy and uncontaminated
-Your conditions, namely temperature and probably fresh air exchange are not ideal, this is why your healthy uncontaminated substrate is not producing like it should
-Get a thermometer and hygrometer. Keep the air in your tubs at 76 degrees and 90-99% relative humidity constantly. Have them receiving constant air exchange via fan while keeping this humidity (Dont turn the fan on high and put it right up to the filter or itll blast the humidity out and crack your caps). A couple times a day open each tub and manually fan it with its lid, then give it a quick mist and close it.

I appreciate the help everyone, I was very frustrated this morning but I am cool now. I realize its my fault not the myc haha. I think my tubs dried out by me having a ceiling fan on, a box fan on, and the ac pumping into the room at night. So there was a lot of air movement. I am now just using the ceiling fan which still gives a very good amount of air movement. Hopefully in the morning I will see some thirsty mushrooms drinkin up. 

One question tho, can i clone one of these good looking babys with the veil open? or have the spores already dropped?

Read my post if you want mushrooms.

Buy a hygrometer you can place inside a tub. This will tell you the humidity. This is the ONLY way to know the humidity. This is something you NEED to know, especially without experience.
You need fresh air exchange. Fresh air exchange makes your mushrooms happy healthy and big and keeps contams from ever getting a chance. If you have stagnant air youre begging for contams. I grew in a house full of garbage with no contaminated tubs.
You need to get a hygrometer, not assume that the humidity is low based on another arbitrary assumption and cut fresh air exchange while watering your shrooms. Tomorrow youll be wondering why your pins are aborting after getting drowned.


Again
GET A HYGROMETER. This will let you have maximum fresh air exchange (GOOD) while actually knowing what the humidity is (NEEDED) and allowing you to keep it above 90%
GET A THERMOMETER You need to know the temp inside your tub. Make it 76 and keep it constant. You need to find somewhere with a constant temp. Using a space heater is a fire hazard, possible contam risk and anything but uniform temp control

If follow my advice all you need to do is leave a light and a fan on until harvest. Youll know the temps and humidity are right and all you need to do is ensure they get fresh air exchange but not so much that the humdity is lost (which is easy with a hygrometer)

Read what Ive written if you want to b successful

Your tub is not dry. If it didnt have water it wouldnt have colonized. If its water had evaporated, your caps would have cracked in the dry environment. This is not the case in your pics at all.

OP, i have monotubs just like yours.  i learned a huge lesson the first time through:  humidity is everything!  (plus fae, temp, blah blah)  ... when i started monotubing it up, i noticed a great deal of pins (at first), and of course, i was overjoyed. theyd even get to the point of little mushies, then theyd stop growing.  i couldnt figure it out, but then i noticed the lids i was using sucked for keeping in humidity! (they look just like yours)  what i did was.. (and i got this idea from a tek) i went out and got "press and seal".. now to be fair i am just now starting down this path, but the basic idea is just keep the Rh up!!  from what ive noticed, mushies absolutely need a proper amount of Rh to develop in.  i mean, of course one needs fae, an adequate temp, and a decent amount of light, but if you cut off the humidity the mushies wont do squat for you.  just my 2 cents, and basically im just repeating what everyone has been saying.  its just i saw those particular tubs, and was having the same problem you are, so i thought id chime in.  GL  and stay vigil damnit :thumbup:

p.s. another testament to how important Rh is:  in a couple of my monos i didnt cut the trash bag in the beginning, so it was draped over the colonizing myc (probably not a good idea in the long run).  i wait a good 2-3 weeks, i come back, and it was like pickin carrots from the garden. i had 3 bins where it was like opening a present, i peeled back the wrapping (trash bag) and bam, there were huge mushies poking out, and just waiting to get picked.

just to make sure this post has been accurate, i just checked my monos and they all are holding >95% Rh with the press and seal.  its good shit... but its too early to see how my new regiment of high Rh and press and seal will do me, before i was just letting the trash bag hold Rh. it worked, but that's all over now.  after all, fae and light are important too :P

sorry for the long post

Yeah i noticed when i first got my tubs the lids fit really loose, and come off easily. I have a hydrometer reading 80% in my tubs this morning so I am off to the store to get some press and seal. Also i have some pictures of cracked caps/stems to identify that it was dehydration of substrate. The substrates drank up probably 2 glasses of water Pics will be up soon

I'm tellin' ya. Thin casing layer! Even straight verm that's dampened, about 1/4 inch... If you have verm/peat then use that in a 50/50 combination. Just go thin, 3/8" max. I bet it works.

If I were you, I'd harvest all those pins, consider this flush a loss, dunk the entire substrate (look up bulk sub dunk if you don't know how), and hope for the best.  I can't wait to see what the second flush looks like, whatever you decide to do.  I'm sure it'll be great.  :grin::mushroom2:

Ok well i harvested a good amount from the two good tubs and have over 200 wet gs drying right now. I left a lot, a bunch still had the veil attached so I left all of them.


I also made two lcs and tried my first attempt at cloning with this bad boy

Oh trust me my man you're going to be happy with that dry weight hahahahahaha :pimp3: I just read all the updates, saw the pic with the cracked cap yup thats low humidity.
The guy who told you press-n-seal, thats very good advice, I should have mentioned it. Its what I used the first time I did tubs and helped me keep humidity 95%+ and get fruits up to a foot long and 10gs dry using storebought manure straw and verm but none as thick as yours dude. One thing with the press n seal is to be sure to poke a number of tiny slits in them for fresh air. I like to change it to a new lid after each flush too, probably not important.
I see you say you made 2 LCs and tried cloning that fruit? How did you make your LCs? By placing tissue from the fruits in LCs? Or from spore?
How did you clone, by cutting some tissue and placing on agar?
Did you do this work infront of a flowhood, in a glovebox, or open air?

For choosing your fruit to clone you may want to try to find a cluster to clone. I remember reading that commercial mushroom farmers would pick clusters of pins to clone and repeat the process a few times to get their "superstrains" for commercial fruiting

For cleaning the bases of fruits its probably easiest to do this when its dry because dirt will just flake or crack off and you probably get the most weight this way, but if youre going to be eating them and prefer to them to be clean (this is what i do with outdoor fruits too) take a piece of paper towel and wipe off any dirt/debris from the cap and stem, at the bottom of the stem there is a very thin layer of tissue, like skin at the base of the stem. The base of the stem is like a bulb. You can dig up this skin or slide it off, you just need to practice to get a feel for it, Once youve peeled the skin you have a completely clean base and lose no weight. Then you can give them a quick rinse and paper towel dry the moisture on the fruit then crack the stem slightly by either pinching or pulling apart the base of the stem. You dont want to rip it in half, just open a hole so air can travel through the hollow stem instead of water collecting at the bottom, itll dry a lot faster

Thanks for the kind words everyone I am very happy it turned out great. The big ones are still drying right now because I cant get my dehydrator in-till next week so I am using a box fan. But as of now I have 7 dry ounces and probably another 2 from the big ones still drying, plus the 2 from the earlier mini-flush brings the total to around 11 oz. 

I didn't manage to get any swaps or prints sorry everyone, next flush I will try and grab some :smile:

P2K1: I just used a clear trash bag to make a kinda glove box, and yeah I just took some tissue from inside and dropped it into a 4% Karo lc. After 3 days nothing has happend so I'm not sure its gonna work out. Karo has never been good to me usually I use honey.

not really a clean sample per say, but a nice uniform rhizo pattern.  not where 2 sections are crossing, but where everything is uniform and not overlapping.

This is PE on some brf and water solution i made.  the section on the bottom left would be ideal to cut and transfer to a new agar dish.  Not the top left where it is overlapping.

So i totally forgot about that.  And when i discovered it under some clothes yesterday it had a huge mushrooms curled uo around the inside.. The cap was black and nasty looking and the mycl had pretty much died out. too bad i didnt notice before it died.  i wanted to see how sterile my enviroment was so i opened the lid up for a min or 2 a couple times a day.  It never got contaminated... so i just gave up and forgot about it.

The final yield for my first grow was 12 ounces. A little under my estimate but I was very happy. And these Penis envy's where very potent. I and many friends toke 2 gram doses and I have heard nothing but the best remarks.

I did have a contamination out break and lost some jars and tubs to cobweb. My clone LC was contaminated and I lost every jar it shoot up. I let a jar full of cobweb mold break on the floor of the grow room, and for some reason it slipped my mind and I let it sit there for a day. I am bleaching and cleaning out the room but I am not sure I will use it again anyways.

For my next grow, I have 8 of these monotubs and I will be trying out some new strains . Pink Buffalo and Amazon, also some PE and maybe if I can get the SOTM from Ralph then it would be Thai Koh Samui. I will start a new thread when the spores arrive!
