Just got finished with the Monotub....its a 58 qt. I mixed eight half pint BRF cakes in with my substrate, lined it with a garbage bag, wiped EVERYTHING down with alcohol (91 %). I made sure i broke the cakes up very well, and since i made my own BRF (which was a bit on the chunky side) and coarse verm, it was no problem. Cakes were colonized all the way through, and oh the lovely smell they had! just like fresh shrooms! I beleive i may have put the vent holes in the wrong spot on my tub, i hope it doesnt matter much. I left enough room between the top of my substrate and the bottom holes so that i would still have room to case the sub. I am still amazed that all ten jars were contam free....I thought for sure being my first time i was going to mess that up, but i guess i did something correctly (Thanks RR!)My substrate looks chunky in the pics, but i assure you it wasnt. I basically shredded the manure, no chunks at all. The only gypsum i could find was pelletized, so i had to dillute it with my water and was unable to mix it in dry, so maybe thats it. The moisture im pretty sure is correct, squeeze softly, a couple of drops, harder a rivulet. Ill keep you updated in the days to come....wish me luck!

everything looks great...it does look a bit chunky but my sub's look that way in pictures as well when they aren't


as for the holes, they are fine that way, next time if I were you, I'd suggest the top holes be on the short sides, instead of all holes on the long side..like this..

i imagine it would allow for better FAE. Next grow im gonna make a couple more tubs and will arrange my holes with the top hole on the short sides. thanks for the tip!

Its been 24 hours after i spawned to my Horse Manure/Verm/Gypsum substrate. I decided to remove the poly-fil and use micro pore tape over the holes during colonization to limit FAE. I also sterilized eight BRF jars so that I can inoculate with the Austrailian strain i have tommorrow. Heres a pic...24 hours after spawning to bulk....

Ok....Bag has been covered with a black garbage bag, i have aluminum foil laid down over the colonizing sub with holes poked in it, and temps are around 75-80 (i have one of those digital thermometers with the outdoor sensor on a wire). so far everything is going pretty good. probably wont be posting for awhile (No Peeking!) Ill update in about a week. Peace!

so, i read that thread that you had recomended i read....I was always under the impression it needed darkness to colonize, not sure exactly where i read it, but somewhere. so i removed the bag, kept the tin foil and tapped FAE holes, still doin good and colonizing like crazy! I did notice that when i took the bag off, it was borderline too hot, but now its right at about 75-78 on its own, so it should be good. thanks for the input!

OK....here we are....day 5 or 6 after monotub creation...colonization is going great! About 90% of the top is colonized with mycelium, i beleive its called "Rhizomorphic"? I will include some pics of the tub, sorry about quality, but i had to take them through the side of the tub. I also started 8 more jars of austrailian, not near as fast of a colonizer as the Argentina. Since i used the 8 jars of Arg to spawn the tub, and had two "straggler" jars left over, when they fully colonized i did the PF tek with them using a square bucket. They are just to show some decent growth, so when they fruit i will post some pics. How long do you think until i should put the tub into fruiting, roughly? I am a bit leary of overlay, even though i know i shouldnt be concerned yet. The mycelium in the tubs is actually very white, it just looks yellow in the pics due to crappy incandescent lights....

soooo....been reading a few posts. Im thinking that perhaps i wont case the tub. I was going to originally case with 60/40, but from what ive read its not needed, and i can just dunk the sub after the first flush. am i correct?

Yeah..

You should try some wax paper.. Im going to try that when my tub of

coir is done colonizing.

Just crinkle it up and then flatten it back out and place over the sub

then just remove it when ever you mist and fan and place back over

when your done.. once you see the wax paper rise up off the sub an

inch or two from the pins forming then you can remove it.. and you'll want to replace the

wax paper when it gets to soggy..

That makes sense. all a casing really is is a neutral substance that creates the idea high humidity micro climate. Think im gonna try that. hope i wont have to mist and fan with this monotub though....thats a real pain! i got a few PF cakes going that i have to mist and fan. they are just starting to knot up, so hopefully i will have some even better pics to share soon....

you might be able to get away with "set and forget," but likely only after you fine-tune your polyfill tightness, airflow, etc. this obviously takes some practice. even still, I know of some grower's far more experience than you or I who still mist/fan their monotubs as an added form of lovemaking. :mushroom2::heart::trippinballs:
