Mini-monotub: Second Flush Finished!
#10908081 - 08/21/09 09:44 PM (14 years, 7 months ago) |

My monotub finished yesterday evening. I quickly picked enough for my buddy and I to trip. We ate 24 grams wet each of freshly picked Ecuadors. It was the most incredible trip ever. It was easily the most intense one I have ever had. The trip started slow and at first I was slightly disappointed, but then it punched me in the face. I was flying for about 3 hours and I felt awesome for another 3. I couldn't believe how intense it was. It sure beat the 20 grams of Golden Teachers we ate earlier this week.
The monotub was partially done via an automated system. I waited for the pins to form and then I started the automated system. It fanned and misted 12 times a days for fifteen minutes. It worked very well. I simply had a cool mist and two fans running on timers. The cool mist pumped fresh moisture into the tub and the fans circulated it throughout the tub. I did hand mist and hand fan occasionally, but I realized that it was excessive, so I just let the automated system do its thing.
Here are the pictures. I picked about 65 grams wet before taking the pictures. The couple places where there aren't shrooms were where I picked prior to taking the photos; I picked about 3 massive mutants.
Cap with a quarter for comparison.
Mutant Zilla!
I highly recommend Ecuadors. They are very easy to grow and incredibly potent. I give them two thumbs up.
I will post the dry weight yield once they come out of the dehydrator. ---------------------------------------- Most importantly, I would like to thank all of those on these boards for their help. I particularly want to thank Doc_T, veda sticks, Citric, RR, nastos (sp?), and anyone else that helped me along the way.

How big was your monotub? It looks pretty small, not that that's a bad thing or anything but damn!
And those mutants look fuckin sweet

The monotub was a mini-monotub. It was pretty small. I felt like it would be sufficient for me. I also have some cakes going... It is also my first time, so I figured going small wouldn't be such a bad idea. I plan on much larger monotubs in the future.

This is a very odd shroom. Pretty large though.
Can anyone explain why I had so many strange looking caps? Is it FAE? The stems look pretty thick, so I don't think it is FAE. I thought lack of FAE created long spindly stems. Is it just the MS genetics?

97.6 g or 3.49 oz cracker dry was the final yield off the first flush.
Not bad for a monotub that was only 12" long and about 9" wide. The substrate depth was about 4".

Man, I thought people would be more interested in my thread. Oh well.
Is 3.5 oz a good yield for a tub of that size? This is my first time doing this, so I don't really know. I did pick about a quarter prior to this yield. So it is closer to 3.75 oz.
