Full Auto
    #14281583 - 04/13/11 12:01 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

So I'm thinking about going full auto in a 50 gallon roughneck jumbo.

What I'm wondering is if I can get by with just a cool mist or tropic aire without having to use perlite or an ultrasonic.  Anyone with experience on automated fruiting chambers have an opinion on this?

Akira did a bulk grow system in a roughneck tub.
Check this out.
I think he used an ultrasonic for both FAE and humidity. Also, if he'd have let his tubs keep flushing out fruits, he probably would have ended up in the neighborhood of 3-4 pounds, which is just purely insane to me.

Akira's tek is awesome but the only problem with doing something that big is you are putting all your eggs in one basket..

So let's say you have one bad jar of spawn and don't realize it and you spawn it to the bulk substrate, well you just now ruined all your bulk substrate as well as all the other grain jars you also wasted..

Thanks for the link!
Yeah, looks like he did the whole thing on a cool mist.
I've done quite a bit of bulk and I've been rocking mono's for a couple years now but the manual fanning and misting is getting old.  I like this a lot!

I'm kinda with Damion, though. That worked for Akira because he knew his shit. Personally, I prefer three or four smaller mono's to one big one. Think about it. You're probably getting the same amount of surface area for fruiting (maybe more) and the monos are pretty much automatic by definition. They're shut off from one another so they can't cross-contaminate if something goes bad.

This looks like a good idea (Akira's Tek, that is) and if you can pull it off, it probably is, but it would only take me a few weeks of having to cut out Trich infestations (which I would eventually lose to anyways) before I went back to the old way.

Not only that, but three or four little tubs will take up less floorspace than one big tub, and that's pretty important to me.

Wow, a kiddie pool...never seen that before.

gwgun, I totally hear you but I've tried several of the mono teks and never really felt like they were fully automated.  It seemed like I was always supplementing with fanning or misting.  Believe me, if I could find a true full auto monobin tek I would definitely just keep rocking the 64qts.  In fact I'm sure there's one here somewhere I just need to keep reading.  Thanks again folks.

So after reading through some threads about Doc_T's shotgun mono I'm going to give that a try.  RH is high here during the summer so I'm hoping fanning won't be an issue.
