starting to grow - help -
    #18414607 - 06/13/13 04:42 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

so im going to be growing b+'s here soon, and i ordered "mad bags" from the mad season . com.

i also bought a 30x20in tub w/ lid.
i was thinking of keeping them in the tub, (with holes of course) - i also have a concern about that.
cutting about 5x5in circles and fiting them with dust masks from the dollar store.
then for the fruiting stage i cut 2 additonal holes in top to fit in some flouresent lightbulbs.
note: these bags apperently are 18x4in or so.
any advice/two sense would be greatly appreciated.
will have pics up when i have everything inside. and im doing it in a closet with 1 door lol. good thing the buckets blue.

No, no, and no.

Colonize the bags as-is. Just on a shelf or something. Then cut it open and fruit it in a FC of some type. If you don't wanna use a separate FC, then just wait till it colonizes, then cut a couple holes at substrate level and one or 2 near the top and fruit it that way.
What you're getting is basically a big PF cake. Treat it as such.

I answered you in complete sentences, in easy to understand English. If you want more help, ask a question, don't just spit terms and half-assed abbreviations back at me with question marks.

I'm not gonna spend the time to answer your questions if you won't take the time to type them out.

You don't even need the door open. Just stick a fan in there.

Yeah use the search bar above if you want to learn the basics terms.

Do a lot more reading to learn to learn basics of growing.

Then if you have a question after doing the above, don't be a dick.

No offense, but if you don't know what a PF cake is, you don't know the basic stuff. Keep reading older posts and teks provided by known members of this community. Many of the trusted cultivators (and many other members) have a lot of useful links posted in their signatures as well that you might want to look over.

Good luck

Also, please read the rules and quit bumping your posts.

So this bag that you ordered. Is it just a bag of spawn that you have to inoculate?

According to the website you're supposed to fruit it in the bag and not use a fruiting chamber and you're talking about using a fruiting chamber. Once colonized, are you planning on removing it from the bag?

If I had that bag, I would probably let it colonize, crumble it / break it up, mix it with some vermiculite, coir, and gypsum in a monotub and I'm of the opinion that you should do something similar.

I know that's how they say to do it. I don't know how they claim to be different, but that looks to be a regular spawn bag. I think you'd get much better results spawning it to bulk.

Let me explain...

A lot of us inoculate grains. Once the grains colonize we break up the grains (spawn) and add it to a bulk substrate that is commonly a mixture of coir, vermiculite, and gypsum. The spawn then colonized this mixture and it will fruit like that.
