My second monotub, ho! Updated for Third Flush
    #22044540 - 08/04/15 09:03 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

2nd mono, literally the same day as I harvested the last of flush 1 from my first. Same deal, 55qt tub, 3 qts coir, 1qt hpoo, 3 quarts verm, handfuls of wormcasings, bat guano, and gypsum. 10 PF Tek cakes, using a cheese grater.





Can't wait to get a bigger PC to start doing grains.

I'm going to case this one, using 75% the same mix with 25% peat thrown in to make it a little less nutritious- what do you think about that? I know peat is usually reserved for PE.

Looks almost ready, think I'll let it go at least another day though.

anytime ya use peat you should throw some hydrated lime in the mix, about 5% of the peat used

There's some dolomite lime thrown in- probably actually to a slightly higher percentage than 5. I also have some gypsum, oyster shell, and bat guano for pH

Edit: is dolomite lime the same as dehydrated? Or do you think I should just not bother with the peat? I'm just wondering because I think I understand the why of a casing, so I wanted to lower the nutritional level for the mycelium therefore theoretically gaining a better pinset.

Ok cool.


Damn that sucks- I spent all of my check on a new PC so I'll have to wait to pick it up. I guess that means no peat. I kept them separate when I pasteurized so it won't be too much of a burden on my resources/time and I can always keep the bag I have for when I can.

What do you think though of my idea to lower the nutritional level with 25% peat? (Given that I have all the proper materials).

Pins coming through the casing! A nice cluster there- should I wait another day or two to fruit since the casing isn't 30% yet?

Hey man if I read everything right im surprised nobody has said anything. But if your referring to casing with 75% of the same mix(which includes hpoo) and 25% Pete. I would disregard the manure in your next casing. I've never been a fan of casing with coir either but I know people have with success so I can't really knock it. And you don't have to worry about covering your casing with plastic and all that as long as you pepped it correctly.  :super:

Ah, I guess I was not thorough enough in my description, I'm not using hpoo, just coir/gypsum/oyster shell/wormcasings/Verm as my casing. Good catch though I appreciate the input.

First harvest from second flush. Little wimpy compared to the knots and pins that formed. They got a little air starved so I'll check it up to choking.

Not to sound to tedious. And someone else chip in if I'm wrong. But I wouldn't add the worm castings either. Im sure you could make it work. But again that's gonna be adding more nutrients to your casing. Id replace the worm castings with pete if you have any laying around. Im pretty lazy with my casings either using jiffy mix that doesn't contain coir or a simple 50/50 mix

Interesting. I'll do my next tub without and see if I see a difference. Half of the fun is going out using different techniques to see what makes a difference for myself.

Might even just try JiffyMix next time since so many people use it

Jiffy is just simple as hell. It is said to use organic jiffy mix. Sounds simple enough right. That's what I thought. But there are different blends of organic jiffy. Some contain coir and some don't. I opted for the one without coir

Accidentally picked the biggun' before snapping a pic.



And oh yeah, top right, trich happened. It was only in the very corner so I cut out the whole area, salted- not that I think it will ultimately help, but I did still get a flush off of it.
