My first attempt at mini mono 7.2qt let's see if this works
    #22170223 - 08/31/15 05:37 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I've done big bulk grows and Martha's but always get contams at or right after 2nd flush so I figured I'd try some mini monos and see how well I do. In theory having multiple Lil guys will give me more chances of getting multiple flushes out of at least one before contams hit.

By tub of choice is this Lil (L x W x H): 11.0 x 7.88 x 7.5 tub with latching lid and easy carrying handle!


Now I'm not sure what size holes I should use so I'm going with what was recommended by someone which was 2 lower and 2 upper holes the size of a quarter I then made another one with 2 upper and 2 lower with holes the size of a nickel. I guess it's gonna be trial and error to see what size whole is the best. Here is one completed with ironed polyfill patches in place on the bottom holes. Stay tuned in about a week I'll have the spawn ready to go!


What do you all think will this be enough air holes I know people normally do 4 holes on bottom and 2 on top but I'm thinking that would be too much for such a small tub....

I'm curious. Keep us posted. I'm currently trying doc ts mini shotgun hybrid but I'm sick of misting. I feel like it's difficult to keep the surface with moisture.

OK I got all four mini monos completed all 4 are a Lil different going to see what one is the best. I have one with 4 quarter size holes 2 top 2 bottom, another one top 2 holes nickel size bottom 2 quarter size, and then we have 6 nickel size holes 2 top and 4 bottom, and the last one is 2 quarter size tip holes and 2 nickel sized bottom holes.

I know I'm still a few weeks off until I need to figure this out but it may take a few weeks to get an answer lol

I'm using pint jars for my grain and I'm wondering what ratio I should use for these mini monos. Im assuming I have about 3 pints worth of space in my tubs for total substrate so should I do 2 pints coir/verm/gymsin to 1 pint spawn or should I do 2 pints spawn and 1 pint coir/verm/gymsin?

From what I've been reading up the seeds are the food and the coir is the water reservoir. So more coir means more water rez meaning bigger fruits but then more spawn equals more food that means more fruits correct? Or should I do a 50/50 at 1.5 pints each?

Can anyone guessimate how long it should take for a 1:1 spawn/coir to fully colonize? Seeing how is such a small Lil mono and it's only 2 to 3 inches deep would 5 days be good or should I wait until 10 days to check?

It might workout in 5 days. I just completed my first grow and when they say be patient they really mean it. Each step of the process took longer than I expected but in the end it all worked. So...BE PATIENT FRIEND. Dont check it too often.

Ok so checked my tubs today well checked one tub and that baby is fully colonized woohoo so now tonight I wanna prep the casing layer for them I have the premixed jiff mix stuff I'll need to pasteurize this correct? Also this will be my first time casing a tray so I'm suppose to throw the casing down and then keep the holes covered until it starts to poke thru the casing or do I throw the casing down and open the holes and stuff with polifill?

    #22246204 - 09/16/15 01:54 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I pasteurized the jiffy mix casing last night today I cased and put into fruiting conditions. Time to see what tub with what hole size works best. I only made enough casing to cover 3 tubs so 2 tubs will have to wait until tomorrow to go into fruiting. One tub must have gotten shifted around hard cuz it's very lopsided (sallow sub at one end deep at the other) I also have a tub that's extra fluffy and covering up the bottom hole a Lil bit so that one might not have enough air flow gonna have to keep an extra eye on that one.

From what I've read on here I should be looking for a tub that's got condesation on all the walls with just a Lil dry ring area around the vents is this correct?

My area is getting a Lil hot lately so I have a single ice pack placed on the lids of each tub with a pillow on top of that it's keeping the inside air temp at 73 degrees currently how long it can maintain that temp throughout the day Idk RH in the room is always 80% or higher so that's a plus.

So far not much condesation inside the tubs yet Idk if that's cuz the RH is so high above 80% that condesation doesn't happen or could it be I don't have enough FAE with my puff balls? How do I know what light puff balls vs tight puff balls?

Yes I actually did see this I don't have the poli fluff I only have the poli-matt the stuff u use to make the at home filter disks. So what I did was seeing how my poli-Matt is 1/2 thick I took a hand sized square and rolled it up like a burrito and stuck it into the wholes Idk if this is the same as the fluff or if it's more restrictive

This is the poly batting high loft I have will my roll up method work you think or should I go get poly fill fluff instead? Or instead of rolling up the batting should I just glue squares like I did the bottom but instead of 4 layers just use one non ironed layer or 2 semi ironed layers?

I've also read that the top holes are really only filled up with poly to keep the humidity in and seeing how my room RH is above 80% I probably don't need much if any poly in the top holes if I'm only trying to keep an extra 10% more humidity in my tub right?

To be honest...I've only ever used Polyfil, I have no experience with what you have, maybe some others can weigh in?

So the micro mono RH by design

2 top and 2 bottom quarter sized holes has a 95+ RH (+ because my gauge only goes up to 95)

the 2 nickel size tops and 4 nickel size lower is at 92%

the 2 top and 2 bottom nickel sized tub is at 93%

2 quarter top and 2 nickel bottom is running at 94%

And the 2 dime size top and 4 dime sized bottoms is running at 94%

So what do some of the veterans here think, what's the best constant RH level to have for fruiting?

So today is the 6th day into fruiting conditions the casing is probably 60-70% colonized and I've spotted these two Lil guys am I correct that these are the start of pins? Or am I tripping and it's just more myc growth?

Yep cased and straight to fruiting chamber and it just kept on colonizing the casing until day 6 then pins formed

So should I harvest as each cap starts to tear away from the stem or wait until it halfway torn? Like 3-4 just split the veil a tiny bit should I cut them out or wait for the others to catch up?

Since it's so dense I personally would wait (ugghhh I hate that word) til the majority have opened then harvest.
