Larger Farms
    #18836053 - 09/13/13 08:53 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So I have experienced this myself and have spoken with many people about it that have had the same experience.  I have found that you cant grow more than 2-3 lbs in a location with mono's.  The logistics of it and just rash outbreaks of contams makes a larger farm at on location hard to maintain.  Id like to do about 10+ lbs a month at one location instead of having to move all over to accomplish it.

Please be experienced in running a large farm before posting, and if your gonna suggest mono's you must be doing something different because ive spoken to 5-6 scale growers about this and they have the same issues as I have had with anything over 3 lbs.

So how do you do it?

I've had some decent results with my setup when I'm not too lazy to fill it :shrug:

In my experience, greenhouse is the best solution if quantity is your thing. I run a greenhouse and monos.

Follow Frank's tek for a GH.

If you want to grow in bulk and don't want to tend to 10+ monotubs, this seems the best way to do so.

Yes, it will cost you up front. But, producing 10 lbs of any mushroom should bring in a little change to offset that start-up cost.

The wick-type humidifier is essential(the one on the bottom of the GH), it provides your FAE. I tried rigging computer fans and all that but after failing to do so I just bought the wick-type humidifier (which I was trying to avoid) and will never look back.

It's a little tricky dialing in the GH at first, but once you figure it out literally all you have to do is re-fill humidifier tanks and pick mushrooms.

Good luck!

Yea ive done GH's they are ok but not to what I need. id to do 10 of them to get 10 lbs a month and  thats a PITA.  Sure I need to do alot of work to produce that much monthly but Im looking to make it as easy as possible on me.  Setting up 10 GH's in the beginning is going to be frustrating in the beginning as fuck.  There has to b an easier way

If it takes you ten well built greenhouses to get high yield, there's something wrong.

I havent done a GH in 4 years I forget what I was getting as per yield I was just making a guess.

:whathesaid:



I get about a pound per tier.

At that rate, it should take 2, maybe 3 greenhouses.

You're looking at a start-up cost of $50-100 per GH, depending on how "bargainy" you shop.

Hmm thats alot more feasible.  A lb a tier thats one flush or the final run of the trays?

Im a cheap ass bastard so it will be on the cheaper end I know.

For 10lbs a month - isolating good genetics (prolific fruiting, dense fruits, etc.) is going to be just as important as the grow setup.

I got that covered.  My genetics are good.  Its a pretty simple step take a pin from a nice cluster and try out all the iso's fr the clone till you find the highest yielding

I'd say that's through 2 flushes.

Remember not to get lazy. I know it sounds like, "duh" but seriously, it's easy to fall behind. You have high expectations, and I don't want you to be discouraged because you might not be able to keep up with what you'd like.

And just remember that you're gonna be needing a LOT of space for this. If you could dedicate an entire room that would be best because you're gonna have a TON of supplies, and you're gonna need work-space too.

I'd suggest moving to agar and getting ahold of that before you start this adventure. Isolation and sectoring will help you produce better fruits, better pinsets, and agar also is the sure-fire way of knowing that you're using clean inoculant.

Yeah, give or take. I pull about 2 ounces per tray, 3 trays per tier, and 2 flushes per tray.

2x3x2=12+- ounces per tier. Close enough.

Thanks for the advice.  I already have a closet and a half just in supplies plus my hood and other shit all over my house.  Plus my grow space.  Ive used agar for five yrs now im well aware of the benefits.

Nice - I only ask because I have a 4 tier GH recently setup, but have yet to use it!

I don't see why you can't get like 10 lbs with enough monos in one place. Might need like 20 or more but if you had the space......

Monos aren't practical as the space. For rotational issues why not spawn run in small tubs, then take the blocks out, fruit them in a GH, and immediately start colonizing more in said tub?

For 10lbs a month the name of the game is constant, constant, constant rotation. Wether it be monos, trays in a GH, blocks, etc. My argument for blocks is you'll have 6 sides to fruit from and will exhaust your substrate a lot faster in theory.

Just curious - how ~ long would it take to get a 10lbs/month grow rolling (consistently)?  It would have to be a "sea of green" type of grow(?) With X amount of quarts colonizing at one time / X amount of bulk subs colonizing at one time / and X amount of bulk subs fruiting at one time - repeat, month in month out.

Someone should write a Tek....

Someone here wrote a tek. Then got busted early this year in Ohio with 137 lbs. Google Ohio shroom bust, think his name was trix or something similar.

Anywho to get that large of a setup through a single rotation it would take roughly 6 weeks.

Same as anything else really. That's assuming he goes from spores to finished product. If he goes agar or G2G it can be easily done in 4. But it would involve constant rotation as you said. And a big ass pc if op doesn't wanna have to pc all day everyday, also a bulk pasteurizer.
