First Mono-Tub, Colonizing Extremely Fast!
    #20223343 - 07/04/14 10:08 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys,

I spawned some Brazilians to my very first mono-tub following The Elementary Coir Tek.  I am extremely impressed so far at how fast it is colonizing.  I have a clear tub, so I can see all the progress.  I am planning on cutting the holes in it just before fruiting.

Here are some pictures I just took.  I spawned the rye on July 1st, so this is only 3-4 days progress!  Is this normal or extra speedy?

End view:

depends, what was your spawn ratio? 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 are the most common...

so, did you spawn something like 5 quarts of grain to 8qts of coir or something like that?

ha! I got confused when I looked at your pics and I didn't immediately recognize the carpet as carpet and it translated in my brain as substrate and I was like: "ooohhh mmmyyy gggaaawwwdd CCCOOONNNTTTAAAMMM!!!"

Haha, I followed the Elementary Coir Tek so I used 5 quarts.

Awesome, I'm pretty stoked.  So basically just introduce fruiting conditions as soon as the surface is all white with mycelium?  Or do they also need a week consolidation period like cakes?

Bulk can be fruited right at 100%....no consolidation needed.

I think you should get that tub off the carpet. Put it in a table

Line your tub with a trash bag next time. That thing is probably going to side pin like crazy!

I haven't used liners in years. I get some side fruits but it's not a big deal.

Thanks guys. 

I decided to not use the liner since the tek didn't call for it and it's my first time; keeping it extra simple.  If I run into problems, I guess I will know to use one next time.

Nah that's about right.  5 quarts to a brick is slightly lower than what I use, I generally go 7/1, but I use bags to and measure out pretty much full quarts and see full coverage in 4-5 days and open to fruit in generally 6-7.  Good luck on it stayin clean, i know my first couple runs of monotubs were failures.  Hopefully your previous cake success will help, as I jumped right in the deep end.

:banana: Keep us updated. I'm curious about how not using a liner works for you.

I hear conflicting info about this, is there any benefit to letting it sit for a while?

It was said for a while back that longer bulk consolidation times led to more potent fruits.
IME it appears to be true, but the difference In potency is negligible. I have seen that I get better pinsets, more yield, and the same cubensis potency fruits when I just supply FAE from 100%+3 days (to allow time for any uncolonized inner pockets to fill in).

Congrats on the speedy colonization, your time is about right IMO.  How come you haven't pre cut your holes and covered them with duct tape while it colonizes?  It's gonna make a mess all over your substrate once you cut them :shrug:
