**B+ Multi Tub Grow Log**
    #22163358 - 08/30/15 03:03 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Haven't grown in a couple years, supply is gettin low so figured I would re-stock.

The box dimensions are 8x3x4ft. Built with 1x2 furring strip boards and 7/16th osd. Cost $70 to build box.

Got a small window unit and a space heater to control temps. Still need to get a plug in thermostat.

Also I didn't include a vent because I figured there will be enough air seepage through the box to clear any stale air, and I don't want any light to escape the box.
But with the AC being on the sealed box, could It possibly cause enough pressure in the box and over work the AC, I don't want any fire hazards.











Another pic of my "skateboard ramp" haha gonna add a little more onto it just to make it legit
(The door was off in this pic its not always like that and i got weights on the wood bending it now haha)

****UPDATE 9/2****
Just inoculated 24 jars.... These 12 are B+ from the hawk...and the other 12 are from a spore print from a huuuuge B+ from a couple years ago hope theyre still good....

I also made 3 no pour potatoe dextrose agar jelly jars and  put some of the hawks b+ on them to isolate for the next spawn.

(Also i shook 6 after inoculation just for a comparison.....and the red stuff is high temp gasket inject port)


****EDIT**** 09/20
75% of the jars are 100% now i decided just to try straw because i had some available and once the rest of the jars colonize ill spawn them to coir or horse manure.


Chopped the straw with the weed eater method.


Got it pastuerizing right now. Waiting on the temp to hit 170-180 before i start the count down.

Is it possible the sealed box could put too much strain on the AC??

I think you're doing a little to much for cubes. I'd just leave the door open unless it gets really hot in there. The AC will be fine, if you want to circulate the air I'd just put a fan honestly. If you really need to close that door I'd put a fan and let the air escape out of crevices instead of running expensive AC.

Other then that :super:, I'll be watching.

Well it gets about 110F in the garage in the summer so i have to have an AC.....and it gets about -10F in the winter so i also have to have the space heater......and yes the door has to be on because i want it as hidden as possible....i actually turned the box into a really nice skatrboard ramp so it will never raise suspision...

The AC should be fine to run in there.

3 days after inoculation I got my first sign of mycelium and I waited another 3 days to get some decent pics.....this is 6 days after inoculation.

dude, thats awesome.  props on the set up.

that AC is going to dry out ur air ALOT though.  but if u don't have the box sealed with something, it will run fine.  skip the fan until winter, when u only have the heater running.  the window unit with a small box like that will be MORE than enough.  u might even want to insulate it so AC/heat isn't always on.  styrofoam board with low R value is cheap

Thanks!
I stick cigar hygrometers in my tubs and if they cant maintain on theyre own i always got a cool mist i could add to the box. I just hate the idea of confined box with bare wood and high humidity.....bio explosion ready to happen lol.

IME, hygrometers for bulk tub set ups aren't worth it.  maybe its good to test ambient Rh of the room, but for inside the tubs, it is, IME, much better to be able to read conditions by sight alone, rather than reading an instrument.
hygrometers can vary with temperature and dew point.  perhaps some patterns can emerge, but i really think watching how and where your pin sets develop is a better indication of conditions.
i agree with u on the humidifier, i would be nervous running that in an enclosed wooden space as well.

the 3 most important things with larger bulk bin set ups are fan speed and placement, polyfill density, and tub hole size and placement
casings are an excellent way to introduce more FAE w/o drying the substrate out.  coir and peat moss are both excellent casing materials.

Idk ive always just liked to have em in there atleast for a baseline especially on a new setup....and when calibrated right horse hair hygrometers have always seemed to be spot on...

As far as casings ive always skipped out on em...ive just had good results in the past and never seen a need to change it up...i prefer simple and efficient
