A little help for my next grow.
    #17322738 - 12/02/12 07:26 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

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.
