I also didn't have much bruising the time I broke a bulk substrate by dropping it....


im going to buy one of those 6500k lamps tomorrow for the grow room. I have to get my air exchange more intune for the bottom tubs of my stacks.

How do you guys set up 8 or so tubs?

I added monotub to all my devices' dictionaries last year...people just don't realize what they are actually looking at...monotub isn't even a great name for it since spawn is added...I mean a straw log is just as monotubish in nature as an Ohmatic Monotub.....I've been calling them mushroom farms in person....

If you buy the ticket, you should take the ride.

I've been so caught up with the farm that ive been too anxious to grow M217-a since I started the farm last year. I finally decided to see if it was still alive this week and I was overjoyed to find that it is! I'm starting a grow this week so I should get one of my signature real time logs going in the next couple of days. My strain is so potent and such a prolific fruiter that I never really got interested in growing other varieties

I've just had too much wowing successful results with my 66qt monos...I have the lining and taping up down to a science now and I've honestly never had a contamination pre first flush. The holes at substrate level also are a great placebo for me as a security blanket for the air flow and evaporation of moisture off the sub...the closest I'll get to a shoe box is doing my 5lb Oyster and Ahiitake bags

I live in an extremely humid climate and I need to use a humidifier and regular interval misting all combined with negative air pressure for sellable products

I don't measure 02.. I have an exhaust port with a duct fan pushing air out of my fruiting chamber about 12inches off the ground...the low level ensures that all CO2 (as it is heavier than oxygen) is forced out. The negative air pressure ensures all air is exchanged

These are all bags placed directly above the exhaust port



These are some fruits before the exhaust port was installed...you can see the. Drastic difference..these. Were so desperate for 02 that they reached sky high unlike the first pic where they flourish

What specifically do you look for/notice to determine if FAE is lacking?




It's an important concept to grasp that mycelium breathes the same way we do...they take in Oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. Co2 is heavier than air so it will sink to the bottom of a closed system. Systems lacking fresh air exchange are notable for having:
No to poor fruiting quantity
Fruitbodies that grow straight up as though they are trying to get their heads above water (closer to the oxygen)
Aereal mycelial growth etc...

Not to mention water evaporating off the substrate is a primary pinning trigger so you always want moving air in your growing environment which is why the shoe boxes don't fruit as prolifically as a well dialed in monotub...the tight stuffing at the bottom and the loose stuffing at the top creates a negative air pressure effect...kind of like when you crack a window in your bedroom and your door slams shut...

Temperature is also key.with golden Oysters. They are a tropical species.that thrives best in higher fruiting temps (ie 85F) as opposed to the default 76 for most domestic species...I gave a trial run with several of the exotic oysters in my chamber and the results weren't great:


Very very small fruitbodies but bountiful quantity...very bad taste...you are definitely on to something with the lighting issue there. My chamber runs on a 12/12 lighting using florescent grow lamps
