105 qt tub. Hows my tek sound?
    #10990102 - 09/02/09 11:52 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

1.5 bricks coir 1.5 quarts coffee grounds 1.5 quarts verm.  all in a bucket.  about 5 quarts boiling water added to bucket and it's sealed with aluminum foil with a small hole poked until it cools completely (6 hours or so.)

Spawn to this huge tub which is completely clear.  3 holes on each length 2 on each end filled tightly with polyfil.

question: do i want a slow steady stream of water from my substrate or just a few drops when squeezed like i would a gas pump lever?

i'll spawn into the 110 qt 5 full quarts of penis envy.  i thought this should be enough spawn.  i'm using duct tape on the outside of the tub to protect from side pins, too.

no casing layer.

thanks guys.  i'm just paranoid of using such a big tub..all my eggs in 1 basket.  we will use extra sterilization procedures but is the pasterization tek good enough?

You do NOT want to sterilize for bulk spawns, do a good searching about "Field Capacity".

You dont want any kind of 'flow' coming from your bulk substrate. Just a few drops when squeezed and a tiny rivulet when squeezed hard.

The big tub wont be a problem as long as you have at least a few inches of substrate. Too wet will invite contams.

Use the search bar brother.

i've been searching for about a year now and compiled that tek.

if i said something about sterilizing bulk substrates my bad i don't remember typing something stupid like that.  i pasteurize bulk subs and was asking about that specifically.

Really don't think you'll have enough with that quantity.

Consider:
Brick of coir = 8qt
So you have 12qt coir +1.5 coffee + 1.5 verm (15 total)
And 5 quarts of spawn.
20qt in cubic inches is 1155in3(57.75in3 per qt)
If you have a standard size 105qt (est 32" by 19") and want a 3-4" substrate you'll need between 1800 and 2400in3... so about 50% more spawn/substrate material.
Right now you'll get ~1.8" of depth from that much material.

Well brotha, not trying to come off as an "ASS". Sounds like you need a bit of experience yourself. I have about 5 years of experience so.... yeah I think that qualifies me as semi- experienced.

The trusted cultivators I do not question, only learn from.

Teks may be one man's opinion if you think one guy thought all that up. I guarantee you that teks are a compilation of ideas from people all trying to improve on the improvised.

This is MY opinion and you are entitled to yours.

So, next time you wanna throw some weight around, realize, you are a lightweight.

It's all good man. No grudges held here. Just saying what's on my mind. And my mind is pretty druggydrunked up right now.

I am 6' 4" as well, but a lightweight at about 175 lbs. haha.

Dude nobody's comments really bother me, but, realize there is always someone on this board or in a book that is much more experienced.

You are gonna need 2 bricks of coir for that big of a tub. I have done them. You will need....

1. 2 bricks of coir
2. 1 5 gallon bucket with a lid
3. 2 qts verm
4. 2 qts coffee (optional)
5. 1/2 cup gypsum
6. 81/2 to 9 qts water
7. Pot large enough to boil the water.

You add the gypsum, coffee, and the verm to the water before you start boiling, that way they are heated up with the water. Clean out your bucket with alcohol prior to placing dry coir bricks in it. Make a small hole in the lid for polyfil filter. Once water is boiling, add to the coir and place the lid on tight and wait till cool, several hours.

I'd use a trashbag instead of duct tape as well. If it's a clear tub, duct tape will still allow for side pins. :thumbup:

Right now you'll get ~1.8" of depth from that much material.




I agree with mister and shroominit that more sub will be needed for this grow to be as successful as possible. I'd go with 8qts of spawn myself but I don't use such large tubs. Going on the assumption that you want a 1:4 / 1:5 ratio and not a 1:3 as you originally proposed. :2cents:

I really enjoy the mathematical breakdown though shroominit. I've always made more sub then needed and just dumped the rest doing most of my calculations by eye and based on the idea that 1 brick equaled 12qts expanded. Personally just saved $30-$50 a year and didn't have to switch my car insurance. :awesome:

Spawning on saturday.  the 5th jar just finished colonizing a couple days ago.  we have another jar that is colonizing extremely fast so we might wait until early this coming week if that jar finishes by saturday..

i'm going to do the 2 coir 2 qt verm 2 qt coffee with the 5 gallon bucket.  i've pasteurized like that before and it works well.

the 105 qt will have 4 holes on each length side (2 about 5 inches high, the other 2 at the top) and 2 holes on the end sides.  filled tight with polyfil.  wrap in a blanket and not crack it for 5 days.  throw a light on 14/10 and a fan on low pointing at an adjacent wall...or should i oscillate the fan so it hits the tub?

Those big tubs have 50% more surface area than my 66 qt sterilite. So I would say 1.5 bricks is enough. I would up my spawn to 8 qts. I use 5-6 per brick of coir. 5 would be enough, but with 8 it will colonize so fast contams wouldnt even have a chance.


I'm about to do the same thing and I'm going to use the same ratio as you are. Maybe an extra quart of water tho. Definitely going to use more spawn. As you can see way more holes. I'm anal about FAE tho. Cant have too much.

1 brick of coir (at least the eco earth) is only 9qt from my observations. I have a 20qt stock pot and two bricks don't fill it to the top, so I have to assume that they're less than 10.

Hey I was wondering might be far off the subject... but how long after fruiting should you harvest....what are the signs if any when you should harvest.????
