Ideas for better monotub performance? And Ohmatic sealed tub ideas
    #14422958 - 05/09/11 02:02 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey all,

I was wondering if any of you have any ideas or pointers to enhance monotub performance?  I have had great success with uncased tubs, and I average around 4 dry ounces per tub.  (I use 4" deep substrate, coir/verm/gypsum and I spawn with about 4-5 quarts of rye)  I really want to experiment with coir and horse manure, maybe that could increase yields?  I saw ohmatic had some great ideas here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5276282#5276282

However I always fanned and misted 3-5 times daily with no contam problems until after the second flush on all of my tubs.  I just gotta say that sealing the tub scares me.  It seems like ohmatic got great results, but I'm scared mold could form if for some reason the poly was too tight and air was not exchanging properly. 

Any thoughts would be sweet.  BTW here is a link to one of my previous harvests.

I like your post. It's thoughtful, well written, has good links, and says a lot. What a relief from the pftek stream I normally see.

To answer your question, I would say that faceyneck has some of the best pinning strategies I've ever seen. His stuff is what you'd call "cutting edge," if there is such a thing in this hobby.

What I can tell you from my own experience is that you should look into strain isolations and agar. If you were able to isolate and then clone your best specimen, then your yields would increase dramatically. Why not even do a series of clones to see which one does the best of all? Test 'em out in a greenhouse in trays, with 10 different strains or clones, and then turn the best one into the mothership.

Here's a link to faceyneck's help/Q and A thread:

I don't want to encourage you to get yields if you're selling or something, because I disagree with that. But, I do understand wanting to get a good canopy :smile:

Good luck!

Thanks!  I appreciate your response.  I never wanted to do strain isolation or cloning, because I was afraid that it would be too difficult to keep the individual tissue sample sterile.  However, since you brought it up, I have no choice but to pursue it!  As for selling, I as well disagree with the practice.  Giving, now that is a whole different story. :grin:
Thank you!
