B+ ride along (MS using new monotub tek)
    #20159696 - 06/20/14 02:32 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Turned these



into this



and this..



Casing tonight :smile:

These 66 QT tubs are using my filters I came up with as a new alternative to stuffing the bottom holes with polyfil.  They are taped on the outside while they finish colonization.  Here's a link to the tek Dilated's Ironed Polyfil Filters for Monotubs

updates to come!

Actually I turned 2 jars into 10 jars but 5 of them were spawned into the tub that you see colonizing.  And the other 5 are finishing up colonization.. 2 of those jars are just about finished.

Hmm, IMO that is a very high spawn rate for both G2G and the tub. I was reading a few days ago that it's best to let a high-spawn ratio tubs consolidate for a few extra days, because the grain is so nutritious it takes longer to colonize AKA digest.

I used double my normal spawn ratio last batch and did not notice a positive difference, I normally use 4 colonized pints to 1 brick coir, 2qts verm +additives.

Beautiful looking tub:toast:

5 jars for a 66 QT tub is very normal.  And consolidation is for BRF cakes to digest the verm.  I'm pretty sure any other TC would tell you the same thing.  I've never consolidated yet with monotubs or jars and have had great success.  All the teks I've read never suggested consolidating grains or tubs. :shrug:  I'm sure cron will chime in with his expert opinion.

lol sorry i was distracted by the shirt lol, bulk subs don't need to consolidate even at 1:1, and if you do consolidate 3 days is all that is needed which is y it isn't needed lol

Dang I wish I could find the link, it was something RR said. It made since while reading it haha.
(Not so) quick question, why exactly do people use high spawn rates? To colonize faster, ok yes but it would have colonized more sub if done at a lower ratio so that cancels out. To beat contams? No, you can spawn without gloves.

5 Jars isn't a high spawn ratio, most cultivators use 6 or more.

Looking good. I use 6 quarts for 66qt tubs so yah that spawn rate isn't that high. I let my tubs consolidate until they start to knot which generally happens within 2 or 3 days of 100% colonisation.

6 qts spawn, how much sub? It doesn't mater the size of the tub lol, that has nothing to do with ratios.

5 qts is a higher ratio than 4 pints, thus making 5 qts a high spawn ration, relatively.

It's funny how nobody was able to answer my previous question, it's just hey lets do what everyone else does without even knowing why.

No 4 pints is a low spawn ratio...people use that amount cause causits the perfect mix (opinion) between colonization time, amount of spawn you need to create, and yield. If you colonize the same amount of bulk sub with 4 pints you will get les mushrooms then if you spawned 6qt to it, most of the nutes come from the grains, the bulk sub adds some but mostly just holds lots and lots of water

When a mono is made correctly the sub depth should be consistently around 3.5 inches so when you use more spawn you will be using less sub and the ratio go's up. I use about 11 or 12 quarts of sub to 6 quarts of spawn for about a 1:2 ratio when making tubs. When making trays I go 1:1. The reason I use a high ratio is I like the fast colonisation and lots of nuts for later flushes. It only costs me around 16 cents to make a quart of spawn so I really don't care how far I can stretch it.
