Im currently growing some brf bags and, im about to prepare for another grow and im wondering how a 5 gallon monotub would perform? I would use verm/coir for the sub and rye for the spawn.
Thanks everyone
Im currently btw.

You must be.
5*4 = 20 quarts. That's about 1/3 of a standard size of a monotub, so it'd be minimono.
But, it'd work just don't use the whole bucket of coir. Dump quarts of water in until you hit the 3.5-4" mark. That's how many quarts you'll need for your tub.

I did a mini to get the hang of monotubes and I got about an oz out of it. I fucked it up to it wasn't fully colonized.. that's the learning experience though. Good luck man.

Hello everyone i am purchasing my materials needed for this grow. I have the verm already. Ordering coco coir bricks now.
The substrate calculator determined that if i want to use a 1 to 4 spawn ratio i would have to use 2 quarts of spawn.
Q- How long do you guys think a 1:4 spawn to sub ratio would take to colonize when in sterile/optimal conditions.
Thanks for the love!

My monos are 19qt tubs..(slightly smaller than your 5gal)
I mix 1brick coir, 1qts verm, and 4.5qts boiling water in a 5gal bucket like in daimons 50/50 tek... I get enough from this to do 3 tubs of the size i use... I add 2.5qts spawn to each tub and equally spliting the sub up between each tub.. Comes out to about 2.5" deep and performs great everytime...

mine takes ten days, then a week of consolidation. Also use precise measurements!! I've found that using cups gives me the exact amount I need. So their are four cups in a quart so I try to measure the verm exact and I throw half a cup of gypsum in mine. Also I've found it easier to mix everything better if you just leave the coir in alone with the hot water for a bout an hour then come back dumb everything and mix well. Hope everything turns out well man.

It's not Damion's 50/50 tek. It's Damion5050's tek for coir+verm in a bucket. Please stop being confused. 1 brick of coir (650 grams) does NOT equal 2 quarts.
Good luck all, sounds like you're on the right track.
