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!  :bow2:  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!

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys!  :thumbup:

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!!!!

:nyan:

Thanks everybody!  :awedance:

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. :lol:

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.  :lol:  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!  :awedance:

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! :thumbup:

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! :goodluck:

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!

:Awemazing:

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?
