how long do your tubs last?

I have this tub that I spawned on April 24th. I don't know what flush it's on. It looks pretty ugly but it's still pushing out new pins every week. I haven't really noticed any potency loss either.
What's the longest you've kept a tub?

Until they stop producing enough to warrant not starting new ones. I have had anywhere from 2 to 4 on average from mono's and trays. Usually the first 2 pulling 90% of the total weight in most cases.

If you keep adding fresh pasteurized and cooled premium compost it can go forever. Had them go for months and months. Ended up tossing them after 3 months to make space and setup fresh tubs to make stuff easier.
Compost you use has to be pretty awesome though like professor peeners compost mix.

Care to elaborate on this? any links?
.......bullshit
I run two flushes and then it goes to the dead sub pile. Sure 4th flush monster are cool, but at that point its wasting my space and time. Out the door.

No, this is dumb. Adding more compost isn't a viable way to keep your tub growing. It would have grown anyway and you're just adding more chances for contams to set in.
OP, I get 2 flushes then toss them. You've got 90% of your weight by then and the space becomes more valuable.
