First mono tub noob question sorry
    #18909706 - 09/30/13 01:12 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

So this is my friends friends friend of a friends 2nd mono attempt the first one was just an experiment this one is more serious. First of all his recipe is 2 quarts spawn 6 quarts sub with about 60% coir 30% verm 2% gypsum 5% worm casings and some spent coffee grounds from the pot earlier. He pasteurized using the bucket tek. Before it was mixed up he did a field capacity test as shown in rr videos it passed. This was all done in a 51 quart tub. The main part where i think he messed up is when he was mixing in the spawn. He saved some sub and covered all the mixed up spawn/sub with a layer of just sub. Now this was all done sep 10 the tub looks colonized pretty well but its not like any of the pics on here. The only place where its solid white is all around the sides. there is a big kinda crack or split in the middle. other then that the middle is very very white just not that flaffy whiteness. Also other problems might be because straight after setting up the tub he put a small reptile heat pad under it. About 7 days ago he got rid of that and just place it in another tub.

So the question is should i wait or fruit it?

The bucket tek is not true pasteurization, and is only used for coir/verm/gypsum.

If you added anything else to the mix you must properly pasteurize it, as the bucket tek will most likely not cut it, especially with coffee.

Yea that pad was doing nothing for the substrate, and neither is the other tub.

There is no need to incubate bulk substrates....room temperature is fine.

If it is fully colonized I would fruit it.

Post pics for confirmation.

Sorry just something about posting that pic doesnt feel right.

Thanks for the info on the bucket tek i over looked that

But I used a dark blue tube and was planning on taping the edges when i fruit so i can see through and it looks 99% done

If the tub is dark blue, how is taping the sides of it going to help you see thru it?

:magicfingers:

Jokes and funny gifs aside, a physical crack in the sub is caused by rough-housing the tub, not the myc or contam growth.
And I really think the worm castings in the bucket tek screwed this up, not the top layer.

Reptile pad also might have rocked your sub a bit.
Direct heat drying up your bulk sub doesn't sound good to me.

Posting pic's is not a problem, just look at the ridiculous amount already here.
Your friends friends friend or whatever should be more worried about all
those "friends" knowing he's growing..

Sorry its was late and i worded that all wrong lmao you can see thru the tub now he was planning on taping when he introduced it into fruiting. Because he just wanted to see it grow and progress.

And yes some friends know but its better than the shhh dont say that (nsa)

So No heat pad and no worm casing with bucket tek?

The crack in the middle was directly above the heat pad you think it dried out my friend didnt really move the tub at all.

So should i wait its been like 20 days or try fruiting?

Still dont think i should be putting up pics but once i get tor working properly i will try.

Does anyone else use a vpn for this site?

thanks for the help

do you really think the feds are going to be putting time and effort into busting someone who can't get their monotub to even fruit?

No, your friends will tell the cops. They're not looking for you, quit being paranoid.

No deviating from the TEK.

If it's fully colonized, you can fruit it. If not, you can't. That's all we can say without pics.

Pure paranoia. Do some research and see how many people have been busted because of Shroomery.

No its not that they will bust me from this site its just icing on the cake if they try and the terms of service says they will hand my info over if asked for it.

But do you guys think it would be 100% if i didnt put sub on top of the spawn or its going slow because of the heat pad?

I say both.

When doing a monotub, you want to mix the spawn and the substrate.

Also 2qts spawn seems a little low,

and get rid of the heating pad!:zaphod:

i agree with everyone TEKs are here for a reason cos others have done them and they work follow them to the letter work clean, never try to change a TEK till u know what your doing. and never tell people u grow any substance that's common sense

Don't start the new Silk Road and you won't have much to worry about. Notice how they were only trying to track down DPR? They don't care about Shroomery.
