is this tek tried an tested?
    #19402373 - 01/11/14 04:45 AM (10 years, 20 days ago)

Hi folks,
Right ill start by saying I'm freshly back into the shroom growing game after 10 long succesfull years of plant cultivation. I have decided to go with a tek I can literally leave alone with absolutely no worries of humidity, air exchange, temps or contams so I've created a chamber as so...

1x very large black plastic tub with clear lid
1x 200w fishtank heater
1x fish tank air pump and stone
1x hygrometer
1x wire mesh


I have fitted heater an stone in bottom of tub and filled with boiled and cooled water (about 4 inches) and treated with hydrogen peroxide

Then drilled 6 holes 2 ince above water line (before hand obv) and fitted nuts and bolts to support the wire mesh

Drilled 2 more holes on one side 4 inces frm top, cut a piece of pvc(another lid) into a neat square and rests on rim and 2 bolts acta as drip shield,


I then inoculated 6 rye bags, split into 3s and put them in 2 black tuppaware tubs that sit on the wire mesh perfectly, sealed them with lids and tape and sat on wire mesh

Set heater to 28 turn on air pump. replace lid with pre cut holes covered with filter patches and left alone for 4 days nw.

I plan on speading the 3 bags into each tuppaware tub once colonised casing and putting back in same box with temps dropped to 23,


Please So what are your view on this peeps what probs do u think I may run into? Do u think this is a. Viable method an is it tried an tested methd I haven't found it anywhere if so,

Thonks :wink:

:shrug:
like most of us here i don't use them and often see people run into issues with them as they can be hard to dial in right, alot of the time people get soaked subs and not enough fresh air exchange with them and i really only see them with cakes, i'd say your in for a waterlogged mess and contams are a higher possibility with that set up, if those bags are 1 qt each thats enough to do a mono tub no problem

I'm keeping an eye out for an answer to that question too. So far I have settled for a PMP inside a tub in tub incubator. It's working pretty well but it's early days yet.

heat the room and not the chambver, temp flux are fine during fruiting

That's fine if you have a dedicated room to grow in but a lot of people have to use their bedroom or even a wardrobe making it difficult to maintain a high enough temperature… I for instance can't sleep unless my room is 16C which is useless for fruiting

You can buy a heat pad to regulate your temperature. Traditional methods are the most used for a reason.

Throw away all that expensive bullshit you bought and just cut some holes in a damn tub and throw your sub in. Seriously, you're just making things harder and more expensive on yourself.

Ive been doing research on this exact same tek for a while now. However, mine is a bit different. It sucks to get just right, but if you get the heater to the right temp, then you will most def be able to grow them. I personally didnt add the perlite to the container and put that in the tank. Instead, I have my little guys sitting on a rack inside the tank. The water heats up the tank, and the bubbler adds O2 the the tank continuously.

Take a look at it and let me know what you think. Hopefully itll help you out.

PS The pictures were taken a 2 days after I picked the first flush. So it doesnt look like their is that much fruit, however I have about 9 gs of dried goodies off of one corn/verm cake and 3 1/2 pint rye flour/verm. To me, thats pretty good. And I have yet to see any contams. I dont know if this is correct but I add Iso Alcohol to the tank (about 1/4 cup) every 2-3 days to keep the water clean. Just experiment. Spend at least a couple hours around your tank adjusting the temp of your wand to reach the right level.

You can also just knock up some grain with spores and let it sit and it'll fruit invitro. Doesn't mean it'll be optimal or even worth your time though.

Cubensis grow themselves, pretty much. We just intervene once in a while to make things optimal.

Right...

So after listening to a few of u peeps and spendin about 2 days on here am am now a pro hahaha

Decided its a lot like growing bud, there is a lot of people that grow very well in lots of differents ways an techniques (or TEK as you mycophiles like to put it) you just have to find the one that suits YOU best, so.......

To find out which suits me I have nw got as follows,

3 fully colonised casings in trays,
1 containing straight rye with straight verm casing
1 straight popcorn with straight verm casing
1 rye and popcorn mix with coir and verm casing 50/50
All in a 120 litre tub with 1 inch perlite an pump (only using pump because I already bought the cunt so ill use it somewhere lol)

1 80l  monotub with 2 litres of colonised popcorn spawning to pasturised compost

And 3 10l buckets
1 straight popcorn (1 litre) with verm casing
1 straight rye (1 litre) with verm casing
1 bulk subbed same as monotub with about litre and a half of sub, no casing,

So whichever gives me the best BE ill use tht method and multiply it :smile:

Any advice be great again prob wnt follow it thistime tho ill learn frm my mistakes an at least ill know all my eggs nt in one basket :smile:
