Where do I tape up?
    #21693421 - 05/18/15 04:34 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I am posting just to double check as I'm about to spawn to bulk

I need to tape up the bottom holes and fill the top ones with loose polyfill during colonization of bulk substrate right?

Recently I've seen some posts of people's monotubs and it appears they are also taping up the top holes and I'm confused. :justdontknow:

tape all the holes until 100% colonization

then remove the tape and stuff with polyfill

make sure your spawn/sub is mixed really evenly & level on top for even growth

I stuff the shit out of holes with polyfil for colonization.  Stuffing holes tightly for colonization of the bulk substrate cuts back on amount of material being used, time spent switching out tape for poly fil, plus no sticky residue.

I always read that the top holes should be stuffed with loose polyfill and the bottom holes taped up.

What would you suggest I do? Stuff all the holes tightly with polyfil and then loosen the top ones once it's time to fruit?

Seems like it doesn't matter. Still if you wanted to colonize tubs in the same room you're fruiting (with a fan running) it's advisable to at least tape the holes. I even taped the long sides of the lid for good measure.

I'd just follow hams advice. Sounds easier. I've taken an hour to stuff the bottom holes CORRECTLY when I first started. It would have been nice to do it first before fruiting. A substrate in open air for an hour isn't great lol

i've finished taping up all the holes and letting it colonize lol the tubs are in my living room which leads to the balcony which i left cracked open to allow some air in. i've taped up the lids a little as well and will allow it for GE

i have two tubs set up at a ratio of 1;2

one tub of p. ecuador and the other b+

we'll see how it goes

sorry for the lack of proper capitalization and proper symbols.
both my shift keys decided to stop working today

Looks good...imo I wouldn't tape the lid shut if it snaps on there good... I mean it's gotta breath a little bit. Good job with the liner bro, a lot of people forget that on their first bulk grow, or they don't know the purpose of it yet. Good vibes your way...

the lid isn't completely taped up. just a little from the sides to hold it down. this particular tub was cheap and the lid was very loose and i was afraid it might fly open so i just used some small pieces of tape to hold into place. there is enough GE to get in :biggrin:

aw man i can't wait till they start pinning this is gonna be so fekkin sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :pipesmoke:
