I'm Just So Happy!
    #19156012 - 11/18/13 06:28 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I'm just so happy at this point! Yes...I'm a noob, in all aspects!  Started with BRF cakes, moved to G2G with WBS pretty quickly with the encouragement of a couple of people here on the Shroomery.  My first try at a monotub, spawning to bulk, was time consuming, long, took too much patience..lol...and a bit of expense to get the necessities!  It was a disaster! If you are in those same shoes, don't give up...I didn't! I've read and read and read, researched and ask advice.  I'm now moving on and so happy with the success so far.

Albino, spawned to bulk on 11/16, showing good signs of colonization so far!


More Albino, already did G2G, looks like it might be ready for spawning by the weekend to another tub.



20 jars of Z Strain, did G2G on 11/16 and they are showing good signs of recovery.  Will give them another day or so and do a little shake. Thinking they will be ready for their own tubs in a week or so.



So, with all this being said.  I am so happy with the progress and if I can just get ONE successful monotub I will be the happiest girl in the whole USA!  Hey, wasn't that a song!

Just thought I would share!  Have a good one. Advice, comments, etc always welcome...just don't beat me up....I did say I am a noob!  I'm a smart, beautiful one though!

Oh, yea, doing a few BRF cakes too but I swear I have NO luck with these anymore.


darn they are sideways...sorry.

:lol: Well then it's all frank because he taught me everything I know!

Your tub looks perfect. That's how mine always look in 3 days.

My tubs are like clock work. They're always fully colonized in 5 or 6 days and I always see pins in 15 to 17 days (from the date of spawning)

Looks awesome! I just restarted growing and I would love to be where you are in a couple weeks. Great job, keep up the good work! I'll be watching this thread. Oh, and Stromrider, would the pics in your sig happen to be from the smokey mountains in Tennessee?

Thanks for asking.  I did 6 quarts colonized grain (spawn) to 1 brick of coir and 2 quarts of verm.  So, basically on the high side of a 50/50...I think that's how you calculate it. Someone will no doubt correct me if I am stating it wrong!  But, that's what I did! :smile:

That's the ratio I always use. A brick is about 8 qts plus the 2 qts verm so it works out to about 6 qts spawn to 10 qts bulk substrate. It's about 1:2

Just an update for anyone watching.

Monotub #1 spawned on 11-16, below is it today 11-20.  Looking great so far, thinking it will go into fruiting this coming weekend.  SO excited!



Started a 2nd Monotub on 11-19.  Already seeing a glimmer of colonization...very happy about that!



Other 20 G2G jars did 1st shake, recovering nicely, thinking will have to put together a few more mono's this weekend maybe!

Still happy!
Someone said my holes look a little large.  For reference, I used the hot soup can method, but will try a smaller can on the additional mono's. 

Happy Growing All!

hey ms angelique,

love that enthusiasm...i can tell you're gonna be a great mushroom grower! tub #1 looks ready to fruit to me...you got some fast colonization goin on there. :thumbup:

everythang's lookin great but i was going to mention something about the holes as well...just make sure to stuff those bottom ones super tight. hopefully it wont be too big of an issue for ya though. remember you can fan & mist those things once you've got FAE going on to help keep up the humidity. I would suspect its going end up being a little low in there without some attention. recently I've started doing a heavy fanning & misting daily when I start to see my fruits getting just past little pins and have had great results, so I wouldn't worry about over doing it as long as you're spraying it on the sides of the tub. for future reference I believe most of us are using 1.5" holes drilled with a bit like this

good luck n happy shroomin! :cookiemonster:

Hey, thanks PirateSwazey for the feedback. Yea, I am super excited.  I already have these two monos made.  My next few I will use smaller hole drilling for sure.  Here's hoping for the good results.  Advice, comments, always welcome!  :smile:

If you're having trouble with them, have you thought about putting a Violet casing on them and fruiting them in their containers with bottom watering like in the Violet tek?

Hi Van Der Griegen ...do you have any link to the tek you are referring to? I would definitely try it.  Thanks for the feedback!
