I have some questions about my monotub (pics)
    #23371117 - 06/22/16 07:52 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

So I have a couple mono-tubs one's not ready one might be, but idk I have a few pics the tub was spawned with wbs about 10 days ago using coir/verm following Damion's 50/50 tek. Idk if this tub is ready to fruit or not I made a post but didn't provide enough info so I'm trying again.
Here's what the one tub looks like now.

What do you guys think?

Yup:whathesaid:

Once it's sat a few days after finishing colonizing it's good to go.


Some people wait till the see pins to fruit it. But it will be fine either way.

That tub looks golden and ready to fruit.

DO EEEEEEEEEEEETTTT :prettyflyforawhiteguy:

You could have fruited that instantly after spawning. There was or is a trend on these forums of instantly fruiting. I've tried it and it has worked great

I would also case it to get a good spread flush

    #23372503 - 06/23/16 05:31 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Its fruiting now, i didn't case it, I didn't have anything to case with and it's only cubes so i'm not to worried i'm gonna try and case my other tub when its ready and see what happens, see what works for me and all that, humidity shouldn't be a problem though since im in florida we're nothing but humidity haha

And i heard about putting it into fruiting right after spawn i just didn't want to go that route i'm not in much of a rush or anything and that idea seemed sketchy to me, maybe ill try one day

That's not sketchy at all in fact. I hate taping holes so I always fruit after spawning. If anything, I will just stuff the poly tighter than I would do for fruiting but I always have some FAE going on.

Also, thought I should mention, Damion's tek is actually 8quarts of coir (1brick) to 2 quarts of verm. His name is 5050 (Damion5050), not the coir:verm ratio.

That will differ from one grower to the next and even from one grow area to the next. The draught from one room might be different from another in the same household. The humidity will also differ from one location to the next. IME, no one can tell you how to best dial in your tubs, that is only acquired by experience. Your description seems accurate though, just see how your shrooms/substrate reacts and adjust it from there. If it dries quickly, tighten the poly and if you see signs of lack of FAE, loosen it.

Loose at the top and tight at the bottom isn't really neccessary as well, just see what works best for you. I stuff all my holes with the same density, works pretty well for me and it was easier to get right than the method that is mentioned above.

I know that tek didnt mean 50/50 that was a typo lol i followed it exactly as it was written out, im gonna try the poly from spawn next tubs i do and see how it goes. Ive got quite a bit more to go, got 5 syringes left haha i used golden teacher to start and learn from

Start using agar and that syringe will last a lifetime.

idk what others wrote, but FRUIT IT! the little bit of casing layer still showing is a PERFECT time to fruit in my opinion. this is when ive always gotten the best results.

good luck, and good job so far buddy!

If you are using a spore syringe, you just got lucky, nothing else. My first two weeks of cultivation(culture work mostly) went flawlessly, after that, there was not a single agar plate that didn't get covered with molds. I spent months struggling with it until I bit the bullet and bought a flowhood. This is while I was using agar, which is the best tool against contams that we have. I would have probably quit mycology then and there if I was messing with syringes instead.

BTW, you should start with a no-pour tek for agar at first. It's the easiest as well as the safest for someone who is new to it. Pastywhyte has a great no-pour tek, you should give the search engine a whirl and find it.

i just read pastywhyte agar tek last night. amazing information there and definitely my go-to for my next agar experiment. i have a feeling once i start with agar primarily, i wont be able to go back. seems thats the general consensus for most others as well though :p

This TEK will explain all the basics of mono as well as how to prep the poly

Typically you want the top ones loose. What I do is grab a small 4inch sheet, fold it once and start rubbing it on my palms with gloves on, slightly applying pressure until it's fluffy

You can also follow my link in my sig. SBJ has a neatly piled step by step guide to possibly anything that has to do with the cultivation process. It has HELPED ME A LOT and saved me a lot of time in regards to searches.

In all honesty, there are many good teks out there, it's more of a ''let's stick to this route for now'' type of situations :biggrin:

Contrary to what newbs believe, agar makes cultivation easier, not harder. Sure, it's an extra step but it is an extra step that will bring piece of mind as well as better success rates. It might take you an extra week or two to inoculate jars with agar, as opposed to a syringe but if your syringe inoculation results in a contaminated monotub, the agar mono will be going strong still. Not to mention syringes are a waste of money and are something you just have to keep buying if you don't have agar to clean up the spores from your own grows.
