Penis envy casing first time using monotubs *updated pics*

2nd time caser, first time with Penis Envy and monotubs. 50/50 verm/peat moss using 12 crumbled BRF jars in a 15 qt monotub FC. Spawn layer is about 3 inches thick with a 1/2 inch layer of casing. 4 holes in the sides, and 1 up top for airflow. Fan on high 24/7 and light on 12/12. Also, got a SGFC with a Z-Strain casing going at the same time. Feedback welcome!

The fan is facing away from it just to get the air circulating and since colonization, the tub has been misted daily to replenish moisture. The cakes were soaked for almost two days before they were crumbed and added though.

yea those look ready but id wait for an expert opinion first. i have yet to grow PE.
but from what i hear, one indicator of them being ready to pick is that the stems get all wrinkly and malformed like that.

Hey thanks! Used to SGFCs... definitely making a switch to monotubs for future projects, they are sooo easy to do!

Totally. I still can't believe I wasted so much time on my first grow (PF.) Monotubs are the shit!

Hate to say that these are still PF tek 1/2 pint jars with a 50/50 verm/peat moss mix... jars do it good if you know what you are doing...

Wow how many ounces did you get from that first flush of the monotub? Someone has been thinking of trying monotub, but has always thought it may be too complicated, but with that kind of yield, maybe someone should give it a serious try.

Thanks for the comments guys, but check out this piece of casing that was cut out... pretty sure this grow was a failure...


The casing is in the trash, can a trusted cultivator please comment as to whether the fruits are safe to eat?
