How to harvest monotub??
    #20275751 - 07/15/14 08:12 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

So I've tried using the search engine and it's returning CRAP.

I see all you awesome shroomerites take your entire substrates out of your monotubs to harvest them, this seems so sweet as I've been struggling to fit my little scissors in there when I've got a full canopy, it would be so much easier to be able to start from the sides.

You know what I'm talking about right? Sorry no pics to share, don't want to use someone else's without their permission.

Is it as simple as picking it up by the liner?

I've broken many a substrate this way - NOT GOOD! Maybe if two people were to pick it up at once it would be easier. Is there any trick I'm missing?

Thanks funguys!

your sub should be near the side hole, you can start by cutting from the holes so you can put your hand inside after...
dunno if it help, i don't use liner and that's what i do.

alex I'm pretty sure you didn't even read the post, only title... oh well

cArcace thanks for trying to help but I'm asking about a very specific process - taking the substrate out of the tub to harvest.

If you used a thick liner you can lift the sub out of the tub and harvest on a table.

It makes it easier than trying to maneuver inside a tub filled with fruits.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's just that I've cracked substrates trying to do this before. Cracked substrate after 1st flush is definitely not good. Guess I'll just be very careful in the future.

Thicker liners/thicker substrates will help that.

I cut out the fruits in the middle, then with gloved hands flip it upside down while holding the middle and brace it while I slowly pull it out.  then it's easy pickin .  scalpels , razor and fiskars are all my favorite.o

Ive flooded my monos before so the sub floats to the top of the tub well to the holes anyway but that usually gets it high enough to harvest with no hassle

What if you are stupid and decided to not put a liner in (me) would that still work?
