Monotubs+Vacation = !?!?!
    #19170319 - 11/21/13 02:21 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I am going to visit the family for thanksgiving and I have 2 monotubs colonizing that should go into fruiting in a day or so.

I am leaving tomorrow and will be gone for a week. I have a friend who also grows and i could probably leave them with him. The only thing he is that he is pretty busy and does not give his mushrooms the attention I like to give mine. He often does not get to them in time before they all open up and start spewing out spores. He also does not mist or fan at all. And I would end up giving him some for picking/cleaning them.

So I could do that or I could leave them at my place to over-colonize for an extra week.

What would YOU do?

Fruit them right before you leave...have a fan oscillating in the room on low not pointed at the tubs.

Follow this tek:      How to dial in your monotubs like a boss

If they are not PE, you should have fruits when you get back....

Well they are PE, so since they take longer to start fruiting I guess they should be ok for a week on their own.

I've done it and it worked out great, followed Frank's advice in that link. It was one of my best tubs yet! Just dial in the placement of the fan and the polyfill before you leave, I had to fiddle a bit to get it just right.  :goodluck:  It was pretty sweet coming home to a tub just about ready to be picked.

I am in the same boat but with cakes. I started some cakes a month ago and they are just pinning in the FC now. Don't know what to do with them as I'll be visiting family for a few days.

Haha yes I wish I did. Even with the slowest timetables I figured they would have fruited before Thanksgiving, but I guess I learned you cannot predict nature the hard way :sad:

Its simple, take some with you...

Atleast take a few with you, wouldn't want to
loose the whole crop.

Im kidding, but im not...

Hmm, Ask someone to take care of them?

alot of variables.

monotubs + vacation =...........
i think its a trich question.

id suggest leave it as is, and some airflow.
if it hasnt triched upon return, fruit it, and it should be fine.

the last thing i would do is trust a half baked lab rat to watch it.

Lab rat?

Hey Friend, Could you watch this mono?

Come over every day and spray it with water,
give it a good fanning. Shit twice if you could,
I'll give ya some of the fruits of our labor.

Yeah, seems real hard.

I'll make sure to find a microbiologist with a PHD next time.

You're something else.

Monotubs should be set and forget...meaning no one should have to manually mist/fan them at all...at least not until after the first flush.

you are correct JM.

im not a one trich tub pony .
if i was i wouldnt have lab rats.

point is , ya can trust lab rats for prep,
but, ya cant trust em for serious crop management.

the whole premise is a trich question.
let the thing sit with some air till ya get back.

Well I have already decide to just fruit them. As NAH said, a good dialed in monotub does not necessarily need maintenance. Although I like to  mist and fan anyway when I am around.

And for the record I would never leave them with anyone who has not grown mushrooms for a very long time. I was going to leave them at a friends house who is a longtime grower, but he tends to let them open a little more than I like. That was the only thing I was worried about, but realizing PE takes forever to pin I will be fine
