Duder, is this a mono or shoe box?  If its a shoe box, ditch the tape and just flip the lid.

its 20qt mini.  4 1-inch holes, 2 per side, down to one layer tape and i am cracking the lid a bit when I am home... still has some beads of moisture on the surface.  I was expecting them to kind of explode in the last two days after increasing the FAE like that... :confused:



Am I just being impatient?  Looking at CBKs OP on this topic, went from pin to harvest in just 7 days...

Mine don't go that fast all the time.  Sometimes it will be 15 days from the very first pin to the tub being harvested.

Just mist let evaporate and repeat.  I know the feeling of waiting for what seems like for ever lol. Once you have 12+ tubs going them your problem is them being done to quick and the dehydrator is stacked lol one of those good problems.

I put to fruiting 7 days ago, and pins started about 4 days ago,
I increased FAE 2 days ago (one layer of micropore),

The pinset is not as stellar as some, but it is my first attempt and MS genetics.

There are a shit tonne of sidepins also, oh well.

Hopefully there are not a lot of aborts here but I kind of think there are.... :






Looking good :awetongue:

You may want to give it a mist but looks like you're going to get a decent yield from that!

Don't worry yourself over the speed too much I find different varieties like to grow at different paces. My AA+ are always a few days behind the PFC.

Next time try using a liner for those pesky side pins :thumbup:

Quite a variety of grow speed, lots of aborts also.  I'll keep on it and see if the second flush will be more uniform...

I'm reposting this here since the shoebox thread got hijacked. I have an uneven pinset coming in on this large B+ MS shoebox that I "cased" at spawning with a thin layer of CVG. I read not to spray too much after the pinset is in, but I'm unsure when the pinset is uneven like this. Do I spray

a) the whole substrate
b) only the part with the tiny pins
c) stop misting

I'm concerned because I misted my other shoebox too heavily and the pins stopped growing any taller.

It looks dry to me, but I'm not sure how much mist is too much after they're growing...

The whole sub
But it doesn't look dry in your pic. I have been recently struggling personally with the same problem as you. I have been fruiting at spawn with decent results all summer but I feel the dry weather has been compromising my pinsets
Your surface conditions were probably not ideal during the pinning phase so you will likely have to wait till next flush to get the yield's but keep up the hydration in the meantime

Cool thanks for the info. Getting the conditions right looks easy from your writeup, but I'm finding it trickier with a real tub. This is only my second tub, so I need more practice.

I got a set of shoeboxes spawned yesterday. I'm still insecure about my knowledge of surface conditions, I still get a lot of side and bottom pins, and clustering flushes. So I'll be referencing this this tek and adhering to it strictly.

A properly lined tub will do you wonders while you're figuring out how to dial in your tub.
I still line all my tubs it makes for easy clean up as well :thumbup:

Your surface you just want to make sure is visibly moist. If it's dry give it a mist.

If it's drying out faster than you can replenish the moisture, then you may need to add another layer of micropore tape to the bottom holes

Hey guys so this is my first attempt at a "bulk" grow and I just wanna make sure everything is looking squared away and on track, I put this tub into fruiting a few days ago and haven't needed to mist at all, I have plenty of FAE in the dome and as far as I can tell my surface conditions look like what's being described here.

Let me know what the pros think about it and thanks for your time.


Sorry for all the pics I'm just kinda proud of how everything is looking so far :laugh:

Oh and I ate 55 grams of my fresh 2nd harvest last night and it tore my lid off lol I swear I was in the Dmt portals for like 45 mins

Looking good:thumbup:
That's a neat monotub design there. What is that? Just a tray with a cover?

That traytub thing you rigged up looks neat, the growth looks phenomenal. From that pic your conditions look good but keep an eye on it

Thanks guys! That's good to hear from you 2 cause I haven't needed to mist or do a single damn thing in the last 4 days so it's Great!

It's called a mondi seedling tray with 7in dome and I got it at the local hydro grow shop for 5$, the best part about it besides it working out so fuckin well so far is the fact that you can just lift off the dome and work right at substrate level instead of leaning into a monotub or having weird angles on your wrist to pick fruits or get a scalpel to base level.

It's getting tons of FAE also fro the poly and it's also got 2 sliding humidity gauge holes in the top of the dome I leave open. I'll continue to update you guys here with pin pics and harvest :smile: it's 1 pound of Huatula cubensis into 5 pounds of exotic zoo manure, coir, gypsum, verm, and dehydrated hpoo.

I'm in need of another eye to tell me if I may be getting too much FAE?The surface is covered in beads,but there's no condensation on the walls.The holes are pretty big for the small container.I don't want to dry my sub out before a flush.Sorry for low quality pics.

You can never have too much FAE
Don't worry about condensation on the sides of the tub just focus on proper surface hydration
