35 GALLON tub
    #14314227 - 04/18/11 10:07 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

the 35 gallon tub is 100% colonized... just entered consolidation phase.... im crazy fucking stoked (was anticipating contams cause ive never done anything this big before.)

Substrate: 1/4 coir, 1/4 verm, 1/2 hpoo, with a bit of gypsum mixed in for good measure. The depth is approx 4 inches.
Strain: Treasure Coast from TheHawksEye
Excitement Level: Bordering on shitting my pants.

:discorex:  will post pics when consolidation is done and i open the tub for the first time...

:Awemazing: wish me luck, this is by far my biggest project yet.

best pic i cld get through the window on the top of the tub... lots of condensation and such, so sorry for lack of clarity. Also, i know the mycelium doesnt look too white in this pic... but this is due to the plexi glass window i have to take the pic through, not the best camera, and shadows inside the tub from the black plastic hanging over the substrate.


hopefully that gives some perspective of how beast the tub is @_@

Senior .... may I interest you in a casing layer ?!

The layer will absorb the condensation droplets that are currently on the substrate surface.

If you make a 50/50+ (vermiculite, peat  w/ 1 teaspoon of hydrated lime and 1 tablespoon of gypsum for every cup of peat), you'll be F'ing styling Brother !

You'll be able to mist and fan to your heart's content (the casing layer will absorb and evaporate whatever you throw at it .... The ph will be close to 8.0  ....so you will get defense against trichoderma ... for another 10 to 12 days ... enough to get through a solid 1st flush ..

That's what I would do to bring that BIG BAD tub to market.

casing scares me :frown: the last time i cased a monotub i SERIOUSLY regretted it soon after.... i think im just gonna have to let this tub ride it out man.. i figure alot of the surface condensation will evap when i introduce fruiting conditions and i would much rather see the surface of my substrate than case it i believe..... if i begin having dryness issues / uneven pinning / etc i will consider it around the second flush..... gonna hold off for now though

I get serious condensation when my bulk substrate is colonizing ....

When I put the monotub into fruiting conditions, I'll run it without polyfill in the holes to get big FAE to dry the condensation droplets on the bulk surface and also to trigger a nice pinset.

but  ... maybe its droplets sitting on the substrate too long ... or maybe some exposed grain on the surface that gets it ... Trichoderma has been getting my uncased tubs.



a ph balanced (8.0) casing layer will hold the trich. off and really stabilize conditions in the tub.

Believe me, I have done my share of successful uncased tubs.  The next one will have a casing layer and we'll see if that helps in my battle with Mr. Green.

hey Damion ,

bulk is my normal half coir, half Hpoo with vermiculite and gypsum added.  when I'm out of manure, I'll do coir (amended with some earth worm castings) with verm. and gypsum.
