Monster B+ fruits second flush - 18 gallon stealth airpump tub
    #23657370 - 09/18/16 11:24 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

This is the experiment of the season. Because of the hate on airpump grows, I honestly wasn't going to post this at all - until we harvested some of the second flush fruits tonight.

We have here an 18 gallon bin that has two airpump holes with brass fittings and an aquarium airpump attached to these holes. This very much resembles the following tek:

The tub started out like this with 5 quarts WBS *add gypsum:



Add some Damion5050's coir / verm substrate *add gypsum:



It has a Tetra whisper 30-60 gallon aquarium airpump on a 30 minutes on / 30 minutes off analog timer:

And the LED rope light tek for the 12 hours on / 12 hours off lighting, also controlled by an analog timer. This is a photo from a different grow of that:



I know that many people don't like airpumps for mycology or think that airpump tubs cannot produce. What is the point of a hobby if you cannot experiment? It's supposed to be fun people!

I am a huge stealth tek guy and I literally wrapped a thin bedsheet over this bin while in fruiting conditions. The guy in the tek joked around about it but, it can be done people. This tek is quieter than a fan blowing 24/7.

The first flush off of this tub got 4.5 oz dry and these monsters were just picked from the second flush and OMG I had to change my cover photo because of it:







Here it is upon colonization:



Day 1 with a few shots taken in between until the first day of harvest:















I stopped taking photos at the end. Because of the uneven pinset, I was picking about 1/4 of them each day for 4 days straight.

Many don't :cheers:

Just throwing this out there...

That sub looks bacterial.  It looks like the energy of the sub is being spent on just a few pins, which is causing larger fruits, but really, you're probably getting a smaller yield here. 

Look at my sig for examples an Semi-even pinset but a dwarfed yield due to semi aggressive bacteria. 

Yours looks a bit more aggressive, as its making a lot of spots on that sub poofy like clouds.

Here's another example. 

Observe the poofy mycelium that looks like it wants to get the hell away from the sub.

What was the hypothesis for the experiment? Where was the control? I only see one grow, should be at least 2.

Yeah I know it's not a real experiment. Just a pet peeve of mine. But as a critical analysis the grow with the pump isn't horrific. It's not great but it could be a lot worse. However I still don't understand why it needs to be disguised as a bedsheet when you could just put it in a closet. Monos do great in closets, you can fit a dozen in a regular one.

Most people don't like pump grows cause most noobs doing them have no clue how to dial it in and dry the hell outta the sub. 4.5 oz first flush is better than a bin of trich but it's less than an oz per quart of spawn. Given the appearance of the substrate surface conditions, I would suggest that you got a bit lucky, that was boarderline drying out. You would have had a better pinset with better surface conditions and passive air exchange.

So much :whathesaid:

And if you need stealth so bad.. have you considered guerilla growing outside, hunting for shrooms, and growing with stones in the back of your closet?

I still don't understand how stones for stealth hasn't caught on. Easy and require zero attention. Plus who doesn't love em. Man stones kick ass.

An oz per quart spawn used is like 2 more oz than I usually get. Lol. One day I'll figure out what I do wrong. It's so disappointing to know that my yield are less than 100% their potential mass.

It's not a mystery. Clean spawn, good conditions, decent genetics. Get those 3 right and you will see the results. Lots of people do it everyday.

Sweet!
  I just got close to 1.5 Oz on my first flush off of 3/4 of a quart of spawn. Not bad at all!
