First Bulk Grow
    #21849883 - 06/24/15 10:52 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hello shroomers. I have one grow under my belt at the moment i produced about an ounce dry of golden teachers from the pf tek. I'm looking to increase my yield so I am planning on knocking up 15 quart jars from MS.  I am planning on using 5 quarts of spawn in 3 separate mono tubs.. is a yield of a pound being optimistic? I'm aware that MS grows can be hit or miss. as far as tek's go i am planning on inoculating through some silicone injection ports with a polyfill filter and left to colonize at RT...are Rye berries still the go to for spawning to bulk? if someone could point me in the direction of some up to date tek's that involve rye berries or a better alternative that would be great.  I found in the archives a coir tek that seemed to be pretty good and i will post it here
http://www.shroomery.org/10858/How-to-do-Coir

here is the rye berry prep i will be following
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20048765

i am planning on stacking the three tubs on top of each other and they must be opaque. I plan on putting LED lights inside the lid of each tub for lighting.

I am fairly confident in my abilities but this only being my second grow i am still a little nervous. so any tips / suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated. I plan on using this thread to document my progress in order to get help from all of you experienced cultivators.

Thank you all :grin:

Electronics and high humidity do not mix....plus that would create heat inside the tubs, which is not good.

Have the lights outside the tubs for best results.....

Is there a way i can have the tubs stacked be opaque and still get sufficient lighting?

No, you want clear/transparent tubs......

Stealthy grows are not always easy......

If you do not want side pinning use a plastic liner inside the tub.....light is not the cause of side pinning, FAE hitting the sides of the substrate is.

If you use a liner, it will stick to the sides of the substrate as it shrinks(consolidates), thus eliminating the microclimate that side pins love.

Blocking light will not stop side pinning.

I'd check out frank's bulk tek
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19792837/fpart/1/vc/1 really well written and I think a good tek for getting into bulk

I'm no son of your god,
I have no faith in your faith,
Still I find salvation.

Okay i'll check out frank's tek... the only thing i see that i don't like is that he uses WBS. I've heard it can be a bitch to shake.. also is my yield being overly optimistic?

WBS is all I use and it breaks up fine.

And no, a pound dry from 3 tubs after all flushes is not overly optimistic.....
