Awww YEAH! starting back up with a 50gal tub!
    #19177930 - 11/23/13 07:41 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hey everyone!

It feels good to be back in the community after not being able to do anything for the past 2 years due to my living situation.

Anyways, sorry everyone I didn't get a chance to fully document everything but I will be from here on out.
I started 7 pint jars at the end of September with WBS and PE spores.

Then I used I believe a 10:1 ratio (I know not very good) basically I did 3 bricks of coir each with 2 qt of verm and about 5 qt of water.

Mixed it up in this 50 gallon "SUV trunk carrying case" or whatever the hell it was called.

I did that on Nov. 7th and viola!


11/23


11/28


11/28

So what do you guys think?
I was thinking of buying a airpump and using a humidifier that I already have to sort of automate it.

I think you should forget about the humidifier and air pump and convert whatever you are doing into a monotub :shrug:

:whathesaid: Monotubs don't use a humidifier or air pump. Also why would you wait a month to check the sub. Most of my spawn runs take around a week or less.

Same week max but then again if it was a 1:10 ratio I might wait what like maybe 2 weeks to check but def not a month :whathesaid:

I was going along with this to an extent hoping to somewhat automate it.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14767118#14767118

Also, I'm a bit rusty at this cultivation thing lol
Thinking back on it, I only waited 2 weeks with the last monotub i did.
It was much smaller though

A proper monotub is set and forget, no need to automate it, its already automated.

A properly constructed mono is tried and tested in terms of providing adequate FAE and humidity

Monotub will provide all of it. Just make sure that your poly is dialed in correctly. Tight as possible in the bottom holes, loose in the top. The size of the dry rings around the holes are your indicator of FAE. Read this.

:whathesaid: Gonna be pretty tough to dial in the poly when you can't see your dry rings :shrug: why not get a clear tub? Probably would have been cheaper. At any rate it looks pretty close hopefully you see a nice flush.

your fruiting that tub now right?
have you had experience with having a light inside your tub before?

seems to me it might dry the substrate out from the convection action in there,

if thats a cfl it might not be that bigg of a deal tho..
if your room temp is on the lower side to begin with

The thing is I was honestly a little underprepaired for this grow
some of the equipment I had went missing whenever my brother moved out:rolleyes:

so im going to get a wireless hydrometer and thermometer tomorrow
it being thanksgiving and all

but in my opinion its looking really good
i think i can see a few knots forming
but later down the road Im going to fully automate it and probably 3 more tubs like it
im planning on putting a camera in each one and having it stream over bluetooth and switch to computer controlled sensors

...its just i didnt have that kind of cash right now lol

That light in there is scary. Hopefully the humidity doesn't cause any electrical or fire hazards.
