My first mono is a go - 3rd Flush Fattie!
    #21965161 - 07/19/15 01:58 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I decided to wait till my WBS colonizes to do the huge mono, so I did a smaller one. 10 PF cakes spawned to 3 qts coir, 1 qt hpoo, 3 quarts Verm, with some gypsum, bat guano, and worm casings (all pasteurized of course).

I used a cheese grater and really liked the results (thanks GreenRabbit for that idea).








And it goes on the shelf! Now the waiting game.

:fuckinawesome: Good luck on the grow man!! The see through lid is a great idea too, no need to open it up and expose it to possible contams.

I've never done a full-size mono tub before, so I was wondering how the GE works with a tub that size. Would the imperfect seal on the lid provide enough GE throughout the spawning phase? I've always covered my mini tubs with foil and poked pin-size holes, then covered with micropore tape. Not sure if it was completely necessary tho, a lot of the older teks I used have outdated info.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep you updated! I really liked the way the cheese greater worked for the cakes and instantly could see and feel how much better it will be for inoculation points than crumbling was.


All the tubs I've seen Pasty do he doesn't put anything in place for GE, and I've read a few posts that suggested the non-airtight seal of the lid is good enough. Which, now looking back I think putting small holes with tight polyfil for my minitrays was probably overkill and I think introduced too much FAE- causing them to fruit early.

I decided to try to follow the pros on this one. Though I was a little drunk and one sides holes are a little larger than the other side's. Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem.

I also birthed a cake to dunk that had 2 invitro pins and tons of knots today. It just looked to pretty to grate up!

Sounds like a cool idea with the cheese grater, what size holes did you use in your tubs? I was thinking of using a small tomato paste can to melt holes in my upcoming monotub.

About Alan inch and a half (mostly, lol). I think I know what kind of can you are talking about and that sounds like about the right size hole to me.

Yeah, it's the smallest can I could find in the supermarket lol. Also, it's a lot easier than messing around with a hole saw to make the right size hole and potentially cracking the bin in the process.

I am debating spawning cakes to a tray with a 50/50 coir mix to directly compare results with normal cakes. I haven't decided if I am going to do 3 cakes normal, 3 cakes spawned to coir in a tray with my Chitwan, or KSSS yet. Have you done it this way before OP? I hope your grow is a massive success!

I haven't. I did spawn some to trays of hpoo/verm. Worked out fairly well but I think I fruited too early.  One of my cakes actually has a much better ponset

I may just go ahead and try Pasty's mini mono tek, I will only have 6 cakes to spawn though so we will see how it goes! Agreed, sweet recipe I bet it is a huge nutrition boost!

2 days in and it's already looking amazing! Almost the entire sub is covered in  light mycial network. I'm so excited!

Looking good man.

I want to fruit a couple cakes successfully then move onto these bulk or mono methods. Looks like you can get some good yields.

Monos can yield 2-3X as much as a normal cake grow. Definitely worth it IMO. :dancer:

Was that plastic covering over the tub during colonization or did you just have the lid on it?

TravelAgency, I'm happy for you. Looking way nicer than my 13qt dubtub  :shakefist:
You earned it, brother

I'm done trying to be "right." I want the exchange of ideas to be the currency of my economy. If you have something I can use, great. I'll try it out. If you think my methods are shit, great. Don't use it. We all want yields.

Thanks you guys! It is a lid that I cut the middle out of and taped plastic wrap to. It's still in colonization.
