First grow B+ 2 tubs [pics]
    #14470241 - 05/17/11 09:46 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Well, I have 2 mini monotubs going right now. This is my first grow and I decided to go bulk, and so far seem to be having some success, and learning a few things along the way.

Both tubs are wbs spawned to coir/verm, no coffee or gypsum, I wanted to keep it simple since it's my first shot, and it's not PF tek. I did however lose my first syringe and batch of spawn to having way too much moisture in the wbs, I learned and this time around i strained longer and spread the wbs out, then patted it with a paper towel. Seemed to have worked perfect.

Anyways, my tubs were put into fruiting conditions on may 4th and one tub began fruiting a day or two earlier. Here's some pictures:

Tub 1 first flush:



Tub 1 second flush:


higher temps, much thinner mushies, a few degrees makes all the difference


Tub 2 first flush (weak):


this is my guess because of fruiting a little earlier than I should have!

Tub 2 second flush (in process):





Any comments, advice, tips, criticism etc is welcomed, thanks for looking!

Do you have an extra light, with a 12/12h on/off cycle, running?

No, I have them next to a windowsill with some shades that still allow good ambient light, that and maybe the occasional ceiling room fan being on, but not very often and usually not in the evening. They are stacked on top of each other but I switch them out every time I fan, so ~3-5 times a day since I have to unstack them to fan the bottom one anyways.

That is what i thought as i saw them.
With an extra light (6500K cfl) they would stand upright like pines in the wood.
Also the extra light improves the yield up to 25%.
Maybe you want to upgrade some light in the future.:shrug:

I actually have a small t5 with 4x 24 watt 6500k fluorescent bulbs in my closet right now that I used to use for marijuana clones...do you think that would be too much? I could always pull out some of the bulbs I guess.

Ice queen, I'm sick of havin these mushies sit on front of a fan for like 3 days and still need a little drying and was reading your tek for a bucket dehydrator as you posted that.

That may be a worthy investment!

In the case of just 2 tubs, i would suggest to use just one 24W cfl bulb.
Place it just a few inces above the tubs.

Will do, question though, in the case of stacking tubs would it be best to put the light on top and alternate which tub is on top or put the light slightly to the side?

I only have 2 tubs so I can set them side by side, but I was considering stacking 2 more eventually.

If you have something like 4 tubs stacked it would be the best to use 2 light tubes, mounted at the sides. instead of bulbs.

Well it's good to know I'm doing a decent job, now I just wish I had a light on there earlier so I had pine trees instead of limp sausages!

Also, I wish I'd have started more jars a long time ago haha!

Lol thanks Luger, but i'v never been fond of popcorn, a friend of mine told me a story about him and another friend going to a movie, and he played a trick on him involving the bag of popcorn, and his friends dick - so i stay away from popcorn :P

Orange - they look good, i'm just starting out so i'm just reading and looking at other peoples grows. are you only going to have holes on 2 sides of the tub, or you gonna do all 4? would that help with FAE and improve your yield a little? just wondering.


~the only place i'm capable of doing this is a closet or downstairs in a basement thats dusty and has toooo many spider webs, so i'm guessing the downstairs is a bad idea lol, do you not have any problems with where it's at?

I only have holes on 2 sides of my tub because I was lazy, and because I fan 3-5+ times per day. I'm sure more holes would help, but I was thinking about all the polyfill I was going to have to stuff! I think I'll try bigger holes next time, because it was a bitch filling 18 holes for both tubs and I want to use bigger tubs next time.

I colonized my tubs in the closet up on my shelf, but I have since taken them out and put them on a low table for fruiting. Despite what everyone says I think a closet would be fine if you fanned enough, and if it's a closet you can leave open most of the time even better.

Again I'm a noob myself so don't take anything I say in stone!
