Small Expansion Question
#11719337 - 12/26/09 12:21 AM (15 years, 25 days ago) |

So after my first relatively successful 1/2 brf grow, which yielded me 5 decent flushes, I'm not sure where to go now, because that still yielded me nowhere enough. I've got a TiT incubator and a semi-automated shotgun fc. As of now i have 20 more 1/2pt brf + coffee jars inoculated at various times in the last week, with my first batch showing vigorous rhizomorphic growth . Now, I have a 55qt/13.75g clear container, and I'm not sure if I want to make a monotub or another fc, which would hold about 6 trays (both fcs combined) Would 6 casing trays be better than a monotub or maybe two? Also, would i be better off going with getting quart or pint jars or buying some bags online, because i def. need more spawn. Ultimately, down the road, am i going to want several fc full of fruiting tray or a few monotubs?
Thanks for your time

I would say monotubs because of the ease of maintenance. Also with monos you can get a deeper substrate depth which should mean better yield, for the same surface area being used.

That is true. I was thinking along the same lines but after contemplation, I don't know about monotubs unless it were a large scale, because if a tub contaminates, thats my tub, where as if a tray contam., its just a tray..

I like to use mini-dub tubs or mono's. I use 18 gallon rubermaid totes or for mini dub-tubs i use two 12 quart sweater box's taped together. coir coffee and gysum for substrate.

Good Idea!
About how many 1/2 pint brf jars would you crumble to a 13.75 gallon tub? Whats the electrical tape for? For the FAE, could i use a sheet of tyvek over the side vent holes instead of polyfill?
