Monotub question
    #18734699 - 08/20/13 10:18 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I was wanting to know with a monotub is there any need to patch the casing. Or do i need to wait till it colonizes 80% of the casing without patching. Before introducing pinning.

IMO if your growing cubes and your monotub is dialed in properly, a casing is unnecessary (though some people believe that a casing helps with reducing blobs when growing PE). If you already applied the casing then I'd say just fruit it. A casing should not really need to be colonized much IMO.

Thanks  i had just used grains and cased with 50/50. I have alot of  mycelium that has came to the surface . and one pin already .Just wanted to know if patching could increase the yield or just go ahead and fruit. I have been providing light since it was cased.  12hr cycles .Some have said that the casing should be like 80% colonized. Mine is like maybe 50%

Well I don't know fuck all about cased grains (only tried it once) but I imagine that you still don't want/need too much of the casing layer colonized as a casings main function is to provide a microclimate. I know some people say that the casing in this case provides moisture to the mycellium but that just does not make sense to me :shrug: Really how much moisture can a 1/4" casing provide really?
