Going to try some full size tubs
    #21346995 - 03/01/15 07:06 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Last time, I used a medium sized 28qt banker's box for my tub, and things worked out pretty well for me.  Not perfect, but I managed to get a few flushes from it.

This time I'm going to try full sized 66qt tubs and do a bit of experimentation.  Two sets of two tubs. 

**Set 1**
Hydration H1
Spawn Vol S1

Hydration H1
Spawn Vol S2

**Set 2**
Hydration H2
Spawn Vol S1

Hydration H2
Spawn Vol S2

I had some issues with my hydration levels and slow colonization last time, so I'm trying to find a good balance for hydration level and spawn ratio for the slightly dryer conditions in my place.

Started out with grain jars like this:


Now I've got 24 G2G jars (split 1:8) recovering after 48 hours:


Keeping my fingers crossed that all jars come up clean, and that one of the 4 conditions turns up to be distinctly better than the others.

I do all my work in an SAB.  Wipe everything with 70% isopropyl before putting it in the box, and allow the entire thing to settle for 20 minutes after setup.

Looking at doing 1:1.5 and 1:2 for the spawn ratios.  I used 1:1.5 last time and it was pretty slow to colonize, but that could have been a product of low hydration.  We shall see...

There are bigass tubs that size, but I thought a regular monotub was based around a 66qt (approx. 24 x 17 x 13) container.

Anyone?

My bad for being misleading.  Full size, as compared to the half-sized banker's box tub I did for my first successful "large" (bigger than just cakes) grow.

Right now I'm still in the process of trying to dial in perfect conditions for a tub.  The next step, which I've already got in process, is twofold:  I've been working on passaging a culture on a plate, trying to get that to a series of isolates.  That's mostly an "I don't care about the genetics, I just want to know I can do this" venture.  I also plated out an inner strand from a stem off one of my larger fruits from the last run, and I'm cleaning that up to see if I can get a tub with a really even canopy.
I love the photos of people's tubs where you can't even see the substrate, and it's nothing but a solid layer of caps overlapping and creating a surface that looks like you could build a house on it, it seems so strong.  That first tub I did had very patchy growth, and what did grow was uneven.  It was only beautiful because it was the product of my labor, and I'd like to see if I can change that.
