EZ Harvest Monotub

Here is a little project I've been thinking about doing. It would make harvest time very quick and easy and the sub would never have to leave the tub. What you guys think?

Your idea is cool.  I can imagine little hinges on one of the long sides so that the tub never really comes fully apart ... just 'hinges open' like a door.  That way you'd only have to duct tape three sides and it might be easier to use.

Go for it.  It is a $7 experiment.

I like it but duct tape after awhile will get expensive and sticky on your tub. I assume. Maybe find some sort of rubber seal or something..

instead find two tubs that sit inside each other, cut the inner 1 down to 5 inches hight(4ich sub+ 1 inch for casing) so it slots inside the other!!
no air gaps round the edge then(easier to control fae andd humidity)
attache two bit of string to sides(two holes and knots on the string) of inner tub so you can lift out fro harvest!
been doing it for years( dont tell anyone my secret!!)

oneday i will show my lower hole plugs that make dialing in monos less guess work(densitys of polfil) and easy to replicate and adjust. they have with a set density so you only have to make small measurable adjustment to get the frank horrigan 'halos' making it more user friendly and controlable :smile:

also makes filling with sub so much easier and can get it perfect and level so no need for a liner, another eco friendly plus side
and no breaking sub when lifting inner tub out!

also i dont tape holes when colonising i use plugs as i hate wasting tape!!

The idea itself is sound.  I think what he meant to say is this was a concept, what you do in regard to fastening the top of the tub to the bottom could be your own innovation to the concept instead of using duct tape.

Anywho, good idea 3P.

i not a big shower of my work but very soon i will be doing a grow show i promised dourd3n very soon and giving away ksss prints like he requested.

you will get to see very soon!!
i thought by altering others methods people would not recieve my ideas in the way i would want and would prevoke arguments but as i have been asked i will make sure to explain my setup in detail for that next grow!! :smile:

I was thinking about this the other day. What about using a cat littler enclosure? You could put your sub and liner in the bottom and then all you'd need to do is mod it to control airflow and it already comes into two piece right where you want it.



I would just silicone the clear door shut and then you even have a window in for light... might not be enough though :thumbup:

I like it. I think I would try and find a shoebox or tray that fitted the top of a tote perfectly or at least really close. Then fill the shoebox with the sub, drill the holes in the tote to line up appropriately when flipped over and make it like a dub tub but with dimensions of a mono. Might be neater and if you got them to line up really good you could even bore some small holes in the totes and shoebox and fasten them with wire or something so you could just flip the top over when ya want to harvest. Lots of possibilities here :thumbup:

Right? I have tubs I use over and over, it would be worth investing the time.


Actually yea even duct tape doesnt sound like a bad idea, just cut the tubs and put a line of duct tape around it.

I recently needed more tubs and converted some old S GFCs into mono tubs by just taping up the holes with lines of packing tape, it holds humidity in just fine so I dont see why duct tape wouldn't be as better.



Cool idea!

Cool thought. I was thinking about something that could be done on the cheap and easy, and this is what I've come up with. Still have to test out the idea, but it could work.

Cut a piece of stiff cardboard, roughly the same size as the bottom of the tub. Now cut a few pieces of ribbon or string about 4-5 feet long and lay them in the tub with the ends hanging outside. Lay the cardboard in the tub, over the ribbons and then just line the tub as normal. Once you're ready to harvest, this part might be a team sport, but you would just grab the ends of the ribbon/sting and lift the sub out of the tub. Granted you might need to cut any tape you have used on your tub liner to stick it to the sides, but hopefully you get the basic idea.

Totally understand, I was actually thinking about a rack made of metal coat hangers last year that would be placed under the liner before spawning with pull handles in every corner, same concept as what you are talking about

I think I might give it some real world testing. Cardboard and string are easy to come by.

Maybe try and find something more sturdy, you may end up breaking the sub in half because the cardboard is thin and also more than likely going to be wet from condensation. Maybe cut out plastic from a tub lid
