PE monotub
    #21754195 - 06/02/15 06:39 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So I've done pretty well with pf cakes and decided it was time i transitioned over to mono tub type grows.

Ive done one bulk sub grow but it just wasn't exactly what i expected so i wanted to go bigger.

I had a 3 pound rye berry spawn bag of PE so i decided this was finally time to do it.
I started with a 66 qt tub and followed the tek that made the most sense( can't remember which one at the time).
Went with a 1:2 ratio with hpoo and straw mixture and let the colonization begin!
day 5:


The first signs one mycelium appeared in about two days and took around ten days to fully colonize.
I chose to not cover the mono tub at all and the tub received 12 to 12 light cycle from day one from from indirect sunlight coming into the room from two windows.

day 7:


day 9

After full colonization i put the tub into fruiting and cased with a thin layer of coco coir, verm, lime and gypsum.


After two days I'm starting to see mycelium poking through, does it need to colonize the casing before it pins or does it usually start poking through the casing layer?



Also any tip or advice on what to do better would be greatly appreciated as I'm still getting used to the whole bulk grow side of things.

Np, just be sure to mist if the sub gets dry, and only fan when you mist to disperse the water.

Setup looks great imo :thumbup:

Your pic of the colonized bulk substrate looks awesome.

Your casing layer is going to encourage full colonization (with the coir) ... so that will set you back a number of days until it colonizes.  ...

The bulk substrate mycelia will have a chance to really digest the food and consolidate .... should work out really nicely.

Sometimes, even a 50/50 casing layer (peat and vermiculite) will fully colonize.  it bums me out because it adds time to a slow PE schedule and the colonization defeats the casing layer purpose: to absorb and evaporate moisture.

good luck to you

I was debating whether to case or just put it in directly into fruiting conditions, but it has since started to pin even from yesterdays last picture.
I figured PE takes a little longer anyway so i might as well add a casing layer to help maintain moisture and RH.

Untape the liner from the tub....you want it to stick to the sides of the substrate...if it doesn't then it defeats the entire purpose of the liner.

indeed, liners are not about light at all, clear liners work just as well.

So the tub has been in fruiting since Saturday and so far I only have two pins-_-

Am I just being over anxious about it & need to be more patient or am I doing something wrong?

The casing laying is a lot more colonized that previously so I'm guessing it could pin any day now, just looking for some input.

Patience. This is your first one. Walk before you run :thumbup: You've got more pins on the way :mushroom2:
