First monotub advice!
    #23611667 - 09/04/16 03:02 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys I'm currently in the process of using a monotub for my next grow. I have a 30 gallon tub, and plan on using 5 quarts of rye, 1 brick of coir and 3 quarts of verm for the tub. Is this a good ratio for a 30 gallon tub or should i use more spawn or a smaller tub? Any advice is appreciated thanks, I'm new to bulk!

What's the width and length of your tub? 

I use 1 brick coir, 2 1/4 quarts verm, 1/2quart gypsum, 4 qts water.  Using 3 qts verm won't hurt anything, as long as you get your water content correct

62 - 66 quart tub would be better for the amounts you have listed. For a 30 gallon tub, I would double everything you listed.

I wouldn't use a big tub myself. When I started the idea of a huge mono seemed cool but it's more risk, lower BE and a pain to deal with. 66 quart is more than enough to stack, lug around, harvest, etc.

I think you would be better off using two 66's instead of one big tub.

Given how much spawn and sub the OP is using I would do that to a single 66 quart mono myself.

Definitely. I meant that if he doubled the spawn/substrate to get the proper amount for a 30 gallon, he's be better off using two smaller tubs.
