Best way to fruit a bunch or strains?
    #18738512 - 08/21/13 04:40 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hey guys, so i am wondering what would be the best way to fruit a number of different strains without having to build more than one fruiting chamber?  would a Martha work for this?

Also whats the deal with the martha? it kind of confuses me, i normally fruit in monotubs and don't understand how you could keep it as sterile in a martha?


Thanks in advance shroomerites

I would use a SGFC. And put your substrate\spawn in aluminum trays. Pick the right size trays for your tub. You could fit either 2 large trays or up to 4-5 smaller ones.

Or you could just do a bunch of pf cakes with different strains.

Why not just do more monotubs? more mush=win!

for me i find grain spawn to substrate much easier.
Ive had many cake jars stall and take too much time to colonize. Perhaps its my procedures.
Also when all is said and done brf's yield less

I agree. After doing monotubs cakes seem like a pain in the butt

Well you don't use polyfill for decoration mate do ya? it filters the GE therefore making your monotub fairly sterile, but when i say sterile i mean an environment that is not introducing contaminants.

If you don't use polyfill on your monotub i can guarantee you will find out what it means to have an environment that is not sterile

I find it weird no one suggests a martha? it seems perfect for what i want to do but thought i would see what everyone else thought first.

Bunch of cakes in a SGFC is what I would do/ what I've done in the past. It was more like a bunch of cakes in a 50g monotub. Had 5 different cubes in there.:thumbup:

I have had good success with PF style but IMO it sucks, its barely even provides enough for yourself let alone friends who are always keen to join in, did it once and don't plan on doing it again unless i need to.
Grain spawn to sub FTW def my fav way of going about it.

Especially considering i already have the strains on grain PF is not an option for me.

Then the best thing I could think of to do, would be a greenhouse with your trays.

Or get a big ass tub, 50g+ with racks and stack your trays in there. :thumbup:

Multiple BRF Cakes in a SGFC. Multiple trays in a SGFC. "Blocks" in a GH. There's so many ways to do it, get creative :smile: Make a new tek while you're at it, Good Luck!

:facepalm: :smbfacepalm: :laugh2:

The purpose of the polyfil is not to filter the air, its to maintain RH while allowing for FAE. Don't tell me you would put filters on the holes in a SGFC. Many people (myself included) are also experimenting with hybrid tubs that have poly in the lower holes, and 1/4 holes drilled close together at the tops. Here is a thread on that. Sometimes I have even removed the poly completely from one of the top holes to increase my FAE, and still consistently get 5-6 flushes off my tubs. The very fact that we spawn in open air means that your sub is already exposed to millions of contams. Fruiting is by no means a sterile process :shrug:

Seriously? Where are you getting this info? When my tub starts fruiting I remove the polyfill from the  top holes every night and replace it in the morning. I have never had this cause any problems

Also what about these people running no hole tubs? They leave the lid cracked open every night. Sorry to rant on you. It is just aggravating to me when this bunk info gets spread because then others see it and regurgitate it

OP, use an SGFC. Get a large tub if need be.

You can also use a mini GH, mine is quite simple and effective :thumbup:

No need to keep anything clean during fruiting.

You can assume everything is covered in crap the moment you spawn in open air.

That is why we pasteurize substrates, and only allow fully colonized grains to be exposed to open air.

Hope this helps :wink:

:crazy: Sorry guys this was just my understanding that was the purpose of polyfill.
I understand your sympathy for being the third person to flame me and the importance
of not spreading bunk info but i think the first two gave me and anyone to view the post
a pretty good indication i was wrong no need to jump on the band wagon as well.

Once again sorry folks should i edit my post?
Cheers for clearing up my confusion on the matter.
