Mini Mono Design?
#14467113 - 05/17/11 09:50 AM (12 years, 8 months ago) |

I have a qt of golden teacher spawn ready to be spawned to 2qt of either hpoo or coir and im about to build a mini mono/SGFC hybrid for it. Would just a normal minimono with polyfill or a hybrid be better?
And if i do the hybrid, are there 1/4" holes on the bottom where the substrate/black tape is? Or only holes above where the substrate would be?
Im going to use a 20qt sterilite container.

Its all a personal preference and what you want to do. Either would work, I would just do 1" to 1 1/2" holes and make it like a reg mono because I am lazy and it would be less drilling lol.
In a hybrid there are no holes on the bottom, they would be pointless, the holes on a mono or hybrid start right above substrate level.
I think Doc_T has a good mini mono SG hybrid tek in his sig...

no, don't make hole below the tape line, but do everywhere else. you would have MAD underpinning/side pinning with hoes on the bottom.

From what i heard, Doc keeps his mini mono hybrids in a green house because he cant keep the rh up. Maybe he can clarify on this...
Honestly i would make a small monotub the normal way with smaller 1 inch holes instead of 2 inch. This method works well.

They work in room air, but I mist once a day, sometimes twice. In the greenhouse they frequently get no misting or one misting during the whole time before they pin. Yield is about the same.

what do you yield usually from 1st flush?
also, how many quarts of spawn do you usually use to how many quarts of sub?

I get two tubs from a brick of coir (plus verm) and use three quart jars of colonized grain spawn typically.

Exactly what I use, hmm you aren't so bad after all Doc_T. That makes me wanna share a picture of my GF with you...

Haha just kidding but that is exactly what I use and I like D's elementary coir better than any poo sub I have tried, it just needs a few additives.

Gypsum is awesome, amazing how some clay can make so much of a difference. Gypsum makes my grain turn out perfect, I use it in the soak and boil my rye in the soak water.
I will have to check out your MSG design since I gave all my tubs away.

Ive been using this as spawn for either one mono, or a few little monos
1 qt coffee 1 qt verm 1 brick coir 3.5 cups gypsum
works well.
