First Monotub *update* Ready to Fruit? w/ PICS
    #16172402 - 05/02/12 05:36 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Quick rundown:  Got a 66qt monotub that I spawned on April 21st.  I used Damion's Coir tek and about 7 quarts of spawn.

So, checked it today and wanted to get every body's opinion on if I should go ahead and fruit.  Also I topped the mixed spawn/sub with some leftover mix as Damion's tek calls for, so I think thats the reason its not completely white on the top.  Also,  there's about 5 small pins that have formed.  Anyways, pics below.  Two pics are with a small light, and the other two are with the CFL's shining to get a better pic.



So, should I go ahead and fruit or give it more time?  I was thinking this weekend.

Appreciate the help. 

Peace...

:rasta:

I find that 15 days is TYPICALLY a good wait time, because knotting is good by then. If you can, wait until you see about a dozen pins. If you dont wait with the ports closed, you'll end up waiting with the ports open. Same thing. From what I can tell, it looks 100% and is likely consolidating. I'd personally wait until May 5

Well, I can see through, its just when I attempt to take a pic the light messes with the image.  But yeah, i think I've seen those.  And like I said, there's 5 pins formed so far.  2 of them are by themselves and then there's a cluster of three pins coming off one spot of mycelium.

You could initiate fruiting now if you like, but I'd wait a day or two longer. It's gonna do it's thing regardless. No worries

Once you see heavy pinning at a healthy level (1-3 inches tall) it typically takes about 5 days. Really, the long waiting period is mostly over. They tend to speed up for the fruiting finish, which is exciting. It's difficult to say how far off you are from that phase though. Guessing from blurry photos, I'd say +2 weeks until you'll be thinking of picking

So, I have a timer for my fan and the room its gonna be fruiting in is fairly small...  What would you recommend I set my fanning schedule to?

you introduce that to fruiting now in about a week u should be picking
that is if you followed damions tek like you said

when using his tek ull want to switch to fruiting once you see about 2/3 of the top layer covered by myc

Enjoy the dazed state of life.
Everything i say or do on this page is all fake.

Yeah, followed Damion's coir tek but used about 7 quarts of spawn.  And I followed Transcending Life's monotub tek.  Both to a T...  I plan on fruiting Fri or sat.

It's kinda funny I spawned on late 4/20, fruiting on cinco de mayo, and possibly harvesting on mothers day.  Lmao, is that the cultivation turkey or just a hat trick?

I would say its fully colonized but letting your tub consolidate makes a big difference.  Id say fruit it this week end. 7-10 days later you should be harvesting.:super:

Thanks for all the help man!  So far so good for my first attempt.  Lol, but hopefully ill get a good first flush.  I still have 10cc's of Venezuelan from a trusted sponsor.  Haven't heard much about it though... Thinking about maybe doing some cakes with it, but I really like the tub setup.  :grin:

Yea tubs are the only way to grow cubes IMHO.  I believe every grower should grow cakes though to begin with.  Tubs are the most efficient way to grow cubes

Yeah, I kinda got froggy and skipped a step.  Lol, but looks like it is kinda working out.  Still kinda wanna try some of the cakes though.  Just not as efficient like you said... Hey, so what would you recommend for my fan timer?  Any certain schedule to have it on?

That's hilarious! Even better if your wet weight of first flush added up all the dates 420, 505, 513. -1438-

Yea if you skipped them there are still worthwhile lessons to be learned by doing cakes I would suggest growing some.  Yes the yields arent great with them though.

You should have your fan on low pointed away from your tub
