Just spawned my tub last night. I used 5 qts of spawn to 1 brick of coir, verm and gypsum. Have it colonizing now in a closet.

looks pretty good what tek did you use to setup the tubs vents?  You planning to open the vents and fill with polyfill when it's time to fruit?  I will be setting up mine very soon the jars are 60% or so atm.

You could just leave the tub on a shelf or on the floor in your room to colonize. Mycelium benefits from light at all stages of the grow cycle. It'll only pin up when it's fully colonized, so no need to worry about keeping it in complete darkness during the colonizing phase, that is outdated info, just ask any TC. :twocents:

Cool thanks! So my sub has been colonizing for 4 days now. Here's some pics. Does it look alright? I plan on adding a casing, can I do that now or should I give it some time?

That's great growth for 4 days!! Looks almost 100% already, but I'd give it another day or two, I still see some tiny uncolonized pieces of coir. You wanna make sure everything is covered. Then case it!! :pipesmoke:

I just followed Franks mono tub tek.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19792837

Just  took a 1.5in hole saw and cut out my bottom holes at the 4" mark from the bottom of my tub and used the same hole saw to cut out the top holes on the short side. The bottom holes look a bit high but I plan on using a casing so hopefully they'll be alright... And yeah, after my casing is partially colonized I was going to fill those with polyfil. There's another greak tek for that as well

I have a few questions.

How manys cc's did you inoculate?

Is that a trsh bag I see lining the bottom?

Why did you add gypsum?

I used roughly .5 to 1 cc per grain jar of rye berries. Yes that's a trash bag lining the bottom, and it was a PITA to set up lol. I know it doesn't look the neatest. I added gypsum to my grain soak water and to the bulk sub because it contains calcium and suffer which are great nutrients for shrooms

Awesome thanks!! :grin: And ihaving the tub open for a couple minutes shouldn't have hurt anything right? Considering it was spawned in open air

Not at all, the sub is very contam resistant against outside contams at this point.

You should only be concerned about using unclean spawn jars or an improperly sterilized/pasteurized sub (you don't have to worry about that if using coir). It's pretty much mold resistant. Hpoo based subs are more tricky to get right. It needs proper pasteurization or you'll be growing mold.

Seems weird to come into a grow-log thread to ask someone why they used gypsum when everyone here has recommended using gypsum for years and years.  He linked the tek he followed a few posts prior. 

:facepalm:  Sooooo..... I'm asking the questions now:


(edited, out of the good graces of my heart)

I don't think it counts as doxxing if you do it to yourself. :shrug:

Seriously though guy, fix your shit before the cops kick down your door.
Don't make me talk about that grasscity thread where you talk about how high you got on that "sour d" or the weird pictures of fat chicks on your photobucket.

Ok guys, day 7 of colonization and here she is! Is it safe to case now?






I have some colonization taking place on my liner, hope that's ok




And I've never really seen a colonized substrate in person before so I was hoping you guys could enlighten me here. What is the fuzzy mycelium coming off the substrate surface caused from?

Do monotubs produce more than just using cakes and a FC?

Nice!! Do you have any pics?
My jars took 4-5 weeks to colonize. What type of grain are you using?

That's pretty much ready IMO. Not sure I would bother with a casing layer...as far I know casing is just for moisture layer. :personally I might give another day or so max and fruit it....but I'm impatient too :crazy2:
