No problem!

:thanx:

It looks and sounds like you have it dialed in pretty good to start. From here on, it'll just be a matter of tweaking it depending on how your first harvest turns out.

When in doubt, the mushies will show you what they need :wink:

And I have tubs like yours as well, they work great :thumbup:

Ah, gotcha. I started a thread because I ended up with some small fruits. My pictures showed some myc rings around the bottom so several people chimed in and suggested that I loosened the bottom poly. I've done that now so hopefully, that improves my environment.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm sure you get a lot of recognition but I follow you guides like the bible haha  :rockon:

It won't.

You need to loosen your top and / or increase your fan speed, the bottom stay tight to retain RH and promote FAE only from the top.  IME your RH will actually decrease if you loosen the bottom holes.

Small fruits can also be genetics. Some varieties really tend towards smaller fruits in abundance.

Interesting, thanks.  I just started using a SAB / G2G so I'll just have to have some patience and isolate. Stupid genetics! :mushroom2:

easy, use a hole saw, high speed drill, and go slow.  domt push thru, let the drill do the work, not your arms.

what i don't understand is how are you fruiting a bulk tek on top of the perlite I just see in a few of the shots the perlite and the mushrooms growing but do you put a separate container inside the perlite tub or what? Nice flushes btw

There is no perlite, it is a monotub, not an SGFC :thumbup:

Perlite is only used to humidify a SGFC, and not a monotub.

Bulk substrates go in monotubs, and usually do not require casing layers.

What the hell are you talking about?

This is my thread with my pictures. There is no perlite in the tubs pictured.

Quit posting repeatedly, you're going to get yourself a ban.

Would it be unwise to go ahead, stuff the polyfill and then put duct tape over it during colonization? then remove the tape when its time to fruit? I ask because i just did that exact thing lol

This is basically what I do but I dont punch holes or use polyfill and I have never had such healthy flushes.

try a grow with no holes and the lid on skewed about 1/2" on 2 opposing corners, it will require a 'light' misting each morning but no fanning required.
an additional plus is, in theory you could use a opaque tub for stealth that would be completely inconspicuous with less effort and you can store it in a corner.

I got a question for you brother Frank. Why do you put 4 holes on the bottom of your tubes but only 2 hols on the top? I would think 4 holes to match on top would make more FAE and that's what you want. Then I look at your finished tubs and see you have this down to a science. Could you explain why 2 is better then 4 on the top half of a mono?

Thanks brother  :bow2:
