First Success with Monotubs!! - 17ounce wet second flush!
#14542417 - 05/31/11 08:00 PM (12 years, 7 months ago) |

I'm pretty proud of my most recent grow, and thought I'd share it here! This is my second bulk attempt and definitely my frist true success.
I did a standard 64-qt mono Prof P style - 6 holes stuffed with polyfill, saran wrapped until full colonization, etc. I used an IRF member's (McDude) wonderful coir recipe and 7 qts of B+ spawn. It colonized very quickly, and pinned even quicker... 2 days after I saw the first pin, I woke up to this:

Monster shrooms!
 Mid-harvest
 Voila!
I don't have a scale so I don't know what the final weight is, but I have one coming my way in the mail so I'll be able to update you guys with the final dry weight in a few days. I'm also currently dunking the mono using total's dunk tek, so here's hoping for a good second flush!
If you'd like to get results like this, then I definitely suggest hitting up the IRF threads as those guys are super helpful, and I never could have done this without them! And sorry for the low pic quality, my camera's out of commission so I had to use an iPhone.
Dry weight of first flush: 4.05 ounces!

Here's some even more beautiful shroom porn for you all:
 This morning's harvest before work!
Came home to this after work:

 Weight weight of this second flush: well over 17 ounces! Not bad for a second flush!!!!

Thanks everybody! 
And yeah, I still consider myself a noob at this stuff, so it's such a good feeling to have a good grow under my belt. All I can say is don't give up!! I had so many issues with my cakes and my first mono.. poor genetics, contams... but I finally made it, haha!

Haha, at last, someone gets the reference!!!!! Sure, if you ever wanna play my IGN is tujiko. When I first signed up for the shroomery, I couldn't believe the name Teemo was available.

It's B+ from SporeWorks! I know there are a lot of differing opinions on B+, and who knows if these shrooms will be very potent being MS, but I thought I'd try it out for myself.

Seriously, I've been on this site for like, 5 months and no one ever got the Teemo reference until today, when I got 2 people recognizing it!! It's a good day to be a Teemo. Hehe. Teemo used to be my main (I usually rock Badger Teemo and more recently the Easter Bunny one, but I bought Spaceman Teemo too) but now I'm all about the Nocturne and the Ashe. Also, thanks for the dunk tek, total!! I used it to dunk my mono and now I am awaiting a second flush.

Just wanted to update you guys on the dry weight.. 4.05 ounces! 
Also, I dunked the mono a few days ago, and I've got a rather nice second flush going on now:

Very stoked on my first monotub success!

Awesome job, especially for a first time!
You can fine-tune the polyfil a bit maybe. See how there's more mushrooms around the edges than in the middle? Could be a lot of reasons, but one obvious one is airflow. Tiny, tiny changes if any. Nothing major, a tiny adjustment at a time.
But as-is, that's a helluva a grow!

Oh and btw, great work. I'm glowing green right now. 
Prof P is Professor Pinhead... he's a really accomplished grower who rocks at monotubs, so I followed both his How to spawn a monotub video guide, and his monotub dimensions instructions for a 64-quart mono:
Quote:
Where are you drilling your holes? They need to be 3.5 inches up and 5 inches in on the sides and there needs to be 2 on either side. six inches up from the bottom and smack dab in the center on the ends which should have one each. So thats 6 total holes and I'd recommend using a 2 inch hole bit. Press it against a wood surface when you drill so you don't crack the sides. If you do you can fix the crack with a hot glue gun.
^Can't remember where he wrote that.. I had it copied and pasted and saved in a word document.
Oh, I also used a liner + saran wrap like the rest of the IRF do: Ohmatic's Monotub Tek
Hope that helps!

Wow, thanks Doc_T!!!! Your posts have helped me a out a lot over these past few months... I feel pretty good about getting a compliment from you!
Do you have any suggestions of how I can fine-tune my polyfill? I have a hard time stuffing it in there... it always seems really loose and ready to fall out at any moment. I also think my side holes are too low on the mono - it's like, JUST above where the substrate goes so the polyfill often ends up touching the substrate, so I think I might raise the holes a little my next time around. Does that sound good to you?
