Monotub question
    #18857462 - 09/18/13 11:06 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I need to make a monotub

But I don't have enough substrate to fill
the tub I have up to the 4" depth


Should I just spread it out and make a smaller
substrate level?

OR

Should I pack the substrate in the tub up to
the 4" level and leave space between
the substrate and the 4th side of the tub?


HELP.

Thanks in advance guys! :nicesmile: You are always so helpful with my stupid questions...

I would think that getting a tub that is better suited for your situation would be ideal. You can find some decent tubs at most at department/hardware store for $5-$10.

Improper substrate depth could lead to poor pinset and overall growth.

And you definitely don't want to pack the substrate down. Fresh air needs to be able to get into your sub as this helps with the fruiting process.

Cubes fruit well with anything over 2 inches.
So as long as you can hit 2 inches you will be fine.
2 2 inch mono's put out alot more fruit than 1 4 inch.
