monotub beginner please help!!!!!
    #24021534 - 01/18/17 10:01 PM (7 years, 11 days ago)

so I'm thinking about doing monotubs with verm/coir 60/40 does that mean I can layer the bottom of the tub with perlite?? I'm thinking 66qt sterlites I got a Ecuadorian print from my buddy but lost contact so the help would be appreciated. also with fanning and misting if I used a nice humidifier and hurricane tiny clip on fan would decrease the amount of times needing to mist and fan? and you don't take the lid off to fan and mist right>? other then that ive been following
but from reading on these fourms I see a lot of people have contamination with brf? Also what yields more shotgun tubs or monotubs? Thanks so much for any information itd be a blessing to get some insight from someone to get this started:thumbup::mushroom2::rocket::crazy2:

You don't need perlite or fanninf or a humidifier with monotubs, that's the beauty of it; a properly built monotub should be sulf-sufficient.  You just mix your colonized grain spawn with your pasteurized substrate and put it in the monotub, the moisture evaporating from it will provide the humidity and properly placed and stuffed holes will provide fresh air exchange.

whatever you do, make sure you follow a tek, such as this one:

This is a good one, I'd reccomend starting with this.

Also.

And the answer it, it depends on what you have inside the fruiting chamber but monotubs usually yield more, as people almost always use SGFCs for brf cakes and monotubs for bulk grows.

pretend you never watched that pile of shit video.

click the link in my signature, follow recommended methods

perlite goes in a SGFC not in a monotub

also how would you mist and fan something without removing the lid :crazy:

regardless, you're all backwards, go read come back and ask new questions

you don't want humidity in your closet, you want it in your tubs. your mushroom's substrate creates its own humidity. the bulk substrate is 75-80% moisture

the tubs in my signature were in a room that had a humidity under 50%

I think you mean 23q pressure cooker it's usually 70$ for a brand new one
