A little help for my next grow.

Look let me put some explanation behind this post. This last grow was my first grow. I grew 48 1/2 pint vars (never again the return isn't enough). And I grew one large monotub. The jars were great, but the monotub produced a lb on the first flush. It was a 55 quart tub w/ 4 3lb bags of knocked up substrate, 2 bricks of choir, and 4 quarts of verm. The sub was a little over 5.5". The problem is I got only the first flush out of it, soaked it for 4 hours flipped it and so on. The second flush was coming in, the pins were only 3.5" tall when I left my sister in charge for a few days. They boomed the next night my sister sent me a pic and they were to the top of the tub, but the tops were splitting. So I told her to attempt to get the sub wet. Well She poured a gallon of water into it. Destroyed everything TRIKE. I am trying to avoid this again, I have enough material to knockup 20 (3lb)bags. Question was the only reason that I was getting a pound was it due to the fact that the substrate thickness? Will splitting these into 10 tubs be more benificial??? Will I get the same amount of mush between 2 tubs as I did with one? BTW I was using B++s. And if so, what size tubs will I need? Need tall ones. Any input would help greatly.

If you take notes like you type.
Read your own post man.... It should be clear what you need to do.

I am human note book. My questions are was it the substrates thickness that made the B++ stocks so thick and plentiful? I am just not trying to lose several flushes. So can you guys please let me know what would be a general size tub if I split these in half??? And also looking for a good source of Chor in bulk. See the 56 quart tub left me with 5.5" of substrate the way that I did it. If I drop to a 28 Quart tub in actuality, will I still wind up with the same size flushes between two boxes??? Or would the myc network not be large enough to handle what is needed? I have also seen people use the metal trays that one would use for cooking to let the trays colonize in, then placing them in a larger box. Could this be a beneficial route to go? Also, did notice that larger boomers tend to fall over due to their own weight. When I lived in cali and grew green I found out why plants need a fan, becuase if you don't use one, they tend to grow weak stocks. So I was planning on adding in possibly 2 computer fans with 9 volt batteries onto the inside of the tubs (with hopes that the stems will harden and grow thicker, which would yield a higher dry weight). I am planning on growing Albino A++, B++, KSSS, Penis Envy, and Kreeeper to start with. I bought a lot more spore than that, but I wont get that moving til after the first flush. And now more letting my sister watch a damn thing of mine.

I need to change my first statement to the fact I was using a 66quart tub. Sorry I was a little out of it last night. Instead of using large 66 quart tubs I was thinking about going with smaller, taller ones. Right now I am looking at picking up 10 of these to start with Tall tub, what I couldn't get an answer to last night is that if I use smaller containers, would I get a smaller flush between the two than just a single??? Even if the surface area is the same?? Next questions is if I install 2 computer fans within the chambers will they help the stocks grow thicker and stronger???? Just like with green, like I said before I used to live in Cali and after my first grow attempting to tie up all of my bushes because they kept falling over I added in a large oscillating fan. This kept my stems strong and dense from the get go and they became about 8 times as thick as they were before. See I had issues with the large B++'s falling over, so I am wondering if the same trick will work. And last, but not least can anyone in here see any other drawbacks to using something with such a deep basin???? Like I said, I will be growing Albino A++, B++, KSSS, Penis Envy, and Kreeeper to start with, and I ordered enough spores from one of your trusted sponsors to do another 5/10 tubs. A little knowledge from you guys would be a great help here. I hate being in the dark about things. Thanks.

hey, cool post man. I noticed people reply better when the post is spaced out
so that they can follow the topic/question. Everyone's attention span is very short.

No need to be a DICK. I am asking for advise. I posted late last night, and there were about 150 posts after this one when I was doing more research today. I am just trying to get my ducks in a row. And you are telling me that you pan back through 4 pages to look at posts????? Sorry, but I have a job and unless I use a search function I will not be going back through and reading that many posts. I am looking for someone who is experienced with this a bit more that would be willing to throw in a helping hand. NOT someone who is trying to get their post numbers up by being a complete asshole.
