I thought I would share what I've been learning from this site.  Thanks for all the useful information everyone!  Criticism and advice are more than welcome, and I would love some insight. 

I am a former PF Tek cultivator, and moved onto my first monotub.  I used rye bitches rye, damions 50/50, as well as other info from here.

Here are the paramaters of my grow:

66Qt monotub, using 1.5" holes.


5 Qt Amazonian spawned to 1 brick coir, 2 Qt verm (fine), and a little gypsum.
-The jars stalled out and were not colonizing anymore, so i just spawned the fuckers.



The consolidation was crazy fast, i had 100% by about 6 days and left it for another 5 days or so,then removed the tape and stuffed poly accordingly.



I want to apologize in advance if I am posting this wrong, or wasting anyones time.

Looks good! Its nice to see someone post that can follow directions lol.
Only thing which you already know is you spawned at less then 100%. Do you know why they stalled? It smelled only like mushrooms right?  It should be fine keep us updated!

Just make sure not to have the tub touching a wall that will mess with GE, you are kinda blocking the two poly holes that are on the wall side.

I would use franks simple coir tek in the future.

Besides that pretty damn good first mono. I have been letting mine drop to 71 degrees at night with lights off, and raise it to 79 during the day cycle when lights are on this has been making for some amazingly fast fruiting

Looks good. No you're not posting wrong or wasting anybody's time. You're not forcing anybody to read this.:laugh:

Kinda hard to tell from the pics. What's your hole configuration? just the 4 holes at sub level tightly packed with polyfill?

That's a hygrometer.  OP, those things work better if you take a sharpie and color the glass so it's completely black.  Sweet-looking tub, though, and I look forward to seeing more pictures (as does just about everyone around here)!

When it comes time to fruiting, which seems might be right away, you may end up wanting to take the tape off the extra two holes.

You were being crafty, and the mod looks great!  Unfortunately those things are almost always inaccurate, and there are better ways of telling if your tub is dialed in.  I have a fondness for cheap, modded equipment, though, and if hygrometers were generally worth a shit I would steal that idea immediately.

Edit:  I might steal it anyway, because I do like the thermometer on that thing.

Ya, on a tub that size most would have 4 holes at sub level and 2-4 holes at the top. Top ones only lossely filled with polyfill. So your setup will probably work perfectly.:laugh:

Check Wal-Mart. eventhough it's a shitty store - they're usually stocked up on good sized totes.
