Monotub QP dry harvest?

Hi I'm new to the monotub method and this forum and had some questions. From what I read I'm gonna need to invest quite a bit of cash into doing a monotub grow because the amounts of substrate and cakes needed.
1. Is there a way to pull a dry QP of shrooms from this method? 2. What size tote would I need? 3. How much substrate and cakes would I need? 4. Whats the best casing method for this tek? 5. What would be the best yielding strain with highest active compounds? 6. Have you guys grown this way? I tried to look at peoples grows but I've not been here 14 days and haven't done 10 posts.

1. I've seen it done. I've also seen it fall far short of that. It all depends. 2. Depends. You can use any size really, most people use 50+ Quart tubs for monotubs from what I've seen. 3. Find a tek you wish to use, here is a good one http://www.shroomery.org/10858/How-to-do-Coir 4. Some people case their monotubs, some people don't. It's a matter of preference. 5. For the most part, P. Cubensis is P. Cubensis. Penis Envy is supposed to be a slightly more potent strain, but also tends to colonize a little slower. If you want to get into more potent types look into the wood loving strains. 6. I'm growing in a 55qt monotub using the above tek.
All of the above information plus much much more can easily be found looking through the stickied threads and using the search feature.

a QP isn't that much, when doing bulk, and monotub's
i usually use 64 quart tub's, some ppl use bigger
do a search for damion5050's bucket coir tek.
cubensis doesn't require casings, and starting out i would skip that step
as stated 'a cube is a cube', any will grow in the same enviroments, and all will produce massive, or small flushes/potency..
yes i always do 64q monotub's with coir/verm/gypsum and get great results

What strain are you growing? What is your dry yield? What would you say the dose would be for a level 3?

The strain I'm growing is Penis Envy. I havent harvested them yet so I don't know the dry yield. But regardless, yield depends on so many different variables that its possible we could have the same set up and I could get a 4 OZ the first flush and you could get 1. It all depends.
You can have a trip from level 1 - as high as you can go. It depends on how much you take. And every person is reacts differently, one person could take a couple grams and experience a "level 3" trip and someone else could take up to 5 and hardly feel a thing.
My suggestion to you is to read as much as you can on this forum and learn as much as you can about growing before even beginning to think about buying what you need. I can't stress this enough.

dude you need a pc to do grains. cakes will work but if you want better results get a pc and go from there. some people get a qp from a 27 qt tub and some get a half pound with bigger tubs a 27 qt tub I use 3 qts of spawn and coir/verm gypsum with 64 qt tubs I use 6qts of spawn just follow doc's wbs tek on my fav's links and you will be golden PE is a favorite of mine but not for newbies just pic a cube good luck

My grow is at the end of the colonization phase. I'll be starting the fruiting phase tomorrow. (IE no shrooms yet). Probably 15+ days until I get close to harvesting.

Thanks for the response guys. I found a tek that most are saying is yielding 4-7 ounces dry per harvest. I'm glad you guys answered my questions instead of being dicks and calling me a noob I appreciate it!

if you are using spores, there is no guaranteeing either way.. You MAY get good results, or you may get bad results.. the only way to be sure is to isolate or clone.. then it wont be as much of a gamble..
and about us being dicks.. there are a few, but not too many.. lol.. all the dickheads hang out on honda-tech.com
