GE in monotub
    #21749259 - 06/01/15 04:21 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Okay so I've got a monotub of Cambodians going, yet the mycelium appears to have slowed down after like 8 days. I don't remember the size, but as you can see in the picture, it's next to a 18 gallon tub.

All the holes are taped with duct tape. Should I remove one at the top and bottom and tape it with micropore tape for more GE? Or leave it be. I'm concerned it used up the oxygen that was trapped in and available when it was closed up.

I followed Damion's 50/50 coir tek

The lids not being air tight allow way more than enough gas exchange.

Very well, I have read lids can be loose enough for adequent gas exchange. But was doubtful being that all lids are not created equal

I shall leave it alone, and remain patient! Thank you to all

at this point, increased CO2 levels aid substrate colonization.

at 8 days many tubs are 100%.

spawn ratio? temperature?

A brick of coir (650g compressed coco coir), two QTS of verm, and 5 QTS of spawn. A constant temp of about 75 degrees ferenheit

yeah, give it another 3-5 days and you look ready for fruiiting. Mine slow down as well sometimes, just wait a couple more days as 8 days isn't too long yet... I generally introduce to fruiting 14 days after spawning to bulk.

Always leave your tub alone and refrain from messing with it or moving it until you take the tape off and stuff holes with poly. You'll be just fine :jah:

"A brick of coir (650g compressed coco coir), two QTS of verm, and 5 QTS of spawn. A constant temp of about 75 degrees ferenheit" OP

OK ... 5 qts of spawn is plenty to do that bulk substrate.  Your temperature is perfect.  Do you have a pic of the tub's surface?

My tubs are 1/2 of a five gallon bucket of equal parts: Coir, HPoo, and Vermiculite ... with two big double handfuls of Gypsum thrown in.  Spawned similar to you. 4 to 5 qts of spawn.  100% in 6 or 7 days .. but thin, not thick white.  I let it thicken-up and get whiter over the next 5 days ... kind of a digestion/ myc. consolidation period.  then, I worry about too long a time in moist stale conditions ... so into fruiting they go and plenty of air exchange.

a pic would help.

Hey I hope I can borrow the thread.

I'm also going to do same monotube tek. But with different box with its lid.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70110302/
Says:
Quote:

WARNING! When the lid is on, the box is airtight. Therefore, do not let young children play with the box.




In franks tek he says:
Quote:

If you haven't already, duct tape your bottom and top holes for colonizing. GE is provided by the lid of the tub.




But this IKEA tub is airtight.


Basically my question is: should I use polyfill on the top holes?

Buy a cheaper tub :shrug: also I have a feeling you shouldn't take the warning so serious. It's a suffocation risk for humans but that seal isn't air tight.

And I thought mushrooms were like us humans :P (breathing oxygen)

So it's not good the box, cause it's too tight or can't I just place something (very) small between the lid. So it doesn't close properly, or I really need another box cause of it?

Edit:
Got answer while posting at the same time.

cubes do breathe, during colonization though higher than 1000ppm co2 is desirable. during fruiting less than 600-1000ppm co2 is desirable. the lid IS NOT air tight to the point where it would completely eliminate all air exchange.

Good to know, but I can't measure that out.

So whats safe to do, tape all holes and follow the tek or just tape bottoms and stiff polyfill in the upper?

ask a rocket scientist. I only deal with cube are easy as growing weeds, if you want to make it 10x more difficult than that you'll have to ask someone else.

the tub is the same as all the other tubs. tape up the holes. the lid does allow gas exchange it's not air tight, you can see by looking. it doesn't have a air tight gasket. they don't want to get sued if you happened to use that tub as a time out for a baby though.
