First Time MONOTUB -advice?
    #15305769 - 10/31/11 08:44 PM (12 years, 2 months ago)

is one rye bag equal to 12 HALF PINT JARS enough for a medium sized tub?
is a layer of damp soil about .5-1 INCHES OKAY for casing?

So it's been about 5 days and i can see through the black tub with a led light and there's small clumps of myc. what should i do next??

What should you do? Wait. Then wait some more.

Don't case if you're talking cubes. After you have the basics down, look into casing and compare results IMO.

Check my sig links; they should help.

It will remain damp in there until you fruit it so you don't need to worry about that. 10-14 days (roughly) for colonization. What was your spawn:bulk ratio? A lower ratio may take longer to fully colonize.

You sprayed it after spawning??? :foreheadslap:

You should really look into following a tek.

Damion5050's Elementary Coir Tek

Your bulk substrate should be at field capacity when you spawn your colonized grains to it. No need for spraying, I wouldn't be surprised if it contaminates.

Wait...  so you didn't spawn your grain to a bulk substrate?...  Rather, you dumped your grain into a container and then smothered it with dirt??? :uhoh:

Sounds like he bought one of those shitty retarded grow kits and is trying to follow the shitty retarded directions. Seen a few newbs lately posting about this..

Read, Learn, and then acquire experience. Failing is apart of the learning process.

Only a fool does not learn from their mistakes. So learn from yours and become educated.

Well...  Horse manure is NOT a "casing worthy" material...  It is, however, an excellent bulk substrate material...


Pics might help...


Shooting in the blind...  Once the manure is fully colonized and pinning has begun; I'd say open the bag all the way UP, then clothes-pin the top...  Might take a push-pin and poke tiny holes every inch into the bag above the substrate level...

I honestly have no experience with invitro bag grows; but many have documented theirs here on the forums...


Good luck :smile:

If you are growing cubes you don't need a casing layer. I'm still unsure if you covered grains with Hpoo or if you mixed your grains with Hpoo and then covered with Hpoo.

Like HS said, Hpoo is a great bulk substrate but not a great casing layer.
