Monotub Question - Secret Ingredients?..
    #16186370 - 05/05/12 02:35 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I was wondering, are there some secret ingredients that I don't know about? Is this a conspiracy or what? Why do I see everyone else growing these monster shrooms and I don't even get near what some of you guys are producing? I'm using the monotub method, and I follow Damion's coir tek. I'm using the right amount of ingredients, but what the hell? Is there some magical ingredient that I'm missing?

One brick of coir, 3 qts fine verm, couple cups of gypsum... is there something else I could be adding to my sub to make it more potent?


Thanks

Plus genetics. I use less gypsum, but :shrug:

Love your tubs are missing the all important ingredient of pure love.:love:

No seriously what your missing is agar.  MS grows are fuct you never know what you're going to get.  Goto agar and try out a few isolates for a better yield.  Id suggest taking a nice pin from a cluster and putting that to agar and trying out the several isolates that will form from that.  I bet there is a winner there:winning:

Peace, love, and understanding. It's all the fungus really wants.
That and to be left alone.



Monotubs don't always get good airflow and evaporation.
That doesn't help.

i add ginger root, cedar shavings, 5 fine hairs of a tarantula, the blood of a virgin, and 1 fingernail of a young child.

not really...haha
:grin:

anyways all jokes aside your best bet is cloning and isolating on agar for optimum yield and genetics. and like Doc_T said alot of monos get different results based on poor airflow . try playing around with your level of density when stuffing holes with polyfil as well as fanning/misting. you want the optimal amount of fresh air that can be equally replenished with water content and humidity.

I prefer sheetrock over regular gypsum. Maybe get some cow poop in there. That's how I roll. As long as you were patient enough to know what you were doing and how it works, success is yours.

Love to ya

:whathesaid:

plus I like to drop a nice hot steamy load into the substrate :derp:

plus why do you want gigantic mushrooms anyways, they're fun buy more for novelty sake. The bigger the mushroom the less potent. I like my fruits medium sized. I have heard that using poo does increase growth though..

I've seen used coffee grounds in several grows.  Try a few different methods and find theone that works best for you.

experiment as much as you can! i found that by tweaking your setup you can get better results, but what's most important is genetics. i have very nice GT strain that i isolated, and no matter how i try to grow them, they will always outperform everything else
