Maybe something in your sub? You say 1:1 ratio by volume grain to coir/verm? What kind of grain and where you get the coir? I have heard some coir has trich added and other things in it for plants that are not beneficial to fungi. Other than the sub idk, fungi are very sensitive organisms.

Thanks for the pics, other than the fruits you have nice rhizo growth all around. That bit o sub clinging to the wall might turn out to be a vector for contam tho as it didn't look colonized. I noticed you don't use a liner bag, maybe that could help? idk

I used to run a grounded floro fixture through a 2 prog(polarized)extension to a polarized timer, didn't have any issues but made sure to keep it away from moisture.

You didn't see the fucking TRICH growing on the sides of the tub though...


FFFFFFFFUUUUUU



At least I got a decent flush out of it... Now to determine WHY I keep getting this trich problem before the 1st flush is over.

Substrate too deep? (3 1/2")
Water ratio too high? ('Some' standing water at bottom of tub, but I used Horrigan's water/verm/coir ratios...)

I... I just don't know. At this point I may give up on Monotubs and go back to trays + Martha...

Again, I repeat...

i recently switched coir brands and found that my last recipe which mixed what i thought to be perfectly didn't translate to the new brand.  so i did some research about field capacity.  lots.  what i learned was that ratios aren't perfect.  i can't say for sure that i now know it all about mixing subs perfectly but i sure do feel a lot more comfortable about my subs than i ever did in the past.  something about not even bothering to measure water and just adding enough little by little until the right amound of water drips out when i squeeze it.  i think it's another example of practice defeating theory.

plus it's almost 3 times cheaper to by coir by the big blocks than by the brick, and there is no way to perfecly break off a brick size chunk from a large block.

sorry about your trich though...

Well, after all is said and done, that 1st flush gave me 78g dry.
