Monotub or SGFC?
    #14092644 - 03/09/11 01:43 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I have a couple dozen half pint jars and a few full pint jars of colonizing BRF cakes, most of which are around 45-60% colonized. Would it be more beneficial for me to crumble them and spawn them to a bulk substrate, or just dunk and roll them? I have the materials for both. Anyone have luck in the past crumbling cakes into monotubs?

Done perfectly, spawning cakes may increase yields. But it's an opportunity to fail as well.
Up to you- if you have plenty of cakes and/or plenty of mushrooms, give it a try.
But cakes kick ass on their own too.

I have a little 16-19qt tub i may use to try out the mono, then use my 40qt as a SGFC. Gotta start on my holes soon, kinda nervous about it, thats why i've been putting it off. Haha.

If this is your first grow, I recommend the sgfc.
Drill it just like the video, 1/4 " hole every two inches all the way around all six sides, 4+" perlite.
You'll love it.

Can I put anything under the bottom to keep the perlite from falling out? And should I elevate it to get airflow to the bottom holes?

I haven't had any perlite fall out, though I did get the biggest kind.  Also, yes, RR says to elevate the SGFC - I used shot glasses, like he suggested, and it's great!

No need for puting anything on the bottom! Perlite will stick together! Yeah u want to elevate SGFC for airflow!:cheers:
