Mono hole config's.
    #14457821 - 05/15/11 05:57 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

So we all know the standard set up of a mono, two two inch holes on both of the long sides at the sub level, and one 2 inch hole on the top of the short sides.

I read that cyanara was testing 1" holes instead at the sub level. I believe he was doing 4 1" holes on each of the long sides.

In theory this sounds like a good idea. It allows the GE/FAE to be distributed more evenly, and it also keeps the sub from drying out so much by each hole.

Only downside I see is that its twice the number of holes to drill :whatever:

Has anyone else done something similar to this? I remember Morelman doing this but thats about it for my knowledge.

Not too shabby then. So thats 3 2" holes....

I was going to ask if you noticed and drying around the holes but I guess it really depends on how tight they were packed.

I keep mine as loose as I can. I aim for a 85% min humidity but it rarely gets that low.

I usually keep one of the top holes empty during fruiting.

So I did screw it up, woop

2 holes on each side, long and short.

Man I miss having conversations about mush growing as the whole forum caters more to beginners(and the questions are answered so quickly and absolutely), we need a place to just bounce shroom growing ideas off one another, neuron style:grin:

Doesn't matter, there isn't a set way how to do it.  Even if you did it to spec it still takes sometime to get the system down....

The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

I like the idea of more even air flow distribution using 1" holes. Might get another 30qt going soon... maybe I can test that out.

there's a 71qt tub going with 2" holes on long and short sides. sub level on long. near top on short. 3.5" sub depth

this will be the 1st attempt with it... currently on day 10 post-spawning.

want an update here with results Base Icks?

That sounds a lot like my recommendation. :lol: However, whether or not it is, I still can't take credit for it, because it's a bullet-point version of what I picked up from ProfessorPinHead. :grin:

Oh bad karma. Had to change this. I have 1/2inch by 4 inch hole across the lower  end with a single 1/2" hole on the top then 2 (1/2"x 4") holes on each long side and 2 small 1/2 inch holes on the tops of each long side. 108 quarts. works fine.

Edited version.

IMO, hole size/numbers doesnt matter as long as your allowing sufficient gas exchange during colonization and plenty of fresh air during fruiting.  with the use of polyfill you are truly adjusting the size of your holes with that anyway, packing it tight for holding Rh or packing loosely for more FAE, hole size/numbers doesnt matter.


placement does. :yesnod:

you want holes at sublevel and up higher for circulation. 

the key is even distribution without over doing it or you can dry out your substrate quickly. 

but this, like many other aspects of mycology, has many many variations to be used.
what works for you, you use. :super:
