Guys, I'm joining the party on the shoeboxes, I just got 12 of them!
And lol at the last few posts. I love those memes and the meat puppet analogy.

Ha...I started to think I ripped you off after a second. I saw an ancient aliens and they were talking about how people come up with shit at the same time like Bell and Meucci did the phone as aliens were transmitting the ideas to them. Personally, I feel Plato's theory of the forms is at play, but I digress...
Good growing mushboy!

I think I am switching to almost just shoeboxes until I have some consistent clean cultures. May throw out one or 2 mini mono's here and there. To damn hard cleaning up bigger tubs from failure. These are easy to dump and wash out. Also when I used a 1:1 and made these I got fruits faster and from all of them before mold showed. Had a higher failure rate with the mini mono's. Can't wait to spawn some Pan cambo to them, once the jars get done.

I had to overpay for the tickets but fuck it. It was time. I am somewhat familiar with the death/rebirth process. Usually takes me about 1/4 ounce of PE for that. I'm thinking an 1/8th or so, but I want to be able to eat freshies

It looks too dry...

You guys keep weight on the shoeboxes while they are colonizing? The lids don't seem very tight.

I find I get less fruits, and more contams, greater difficulty with conditions, and fewer flushes with shoeboxes. Ymmv, yet I think after a string of shoeboxes, they are just for testing cultures. Mine took too long to grow, dry out easier, and require more adjusting of Temps, humidity, and constant. Misting. All that for a few fruits. And this is using a clean cloned culture that has already successfully given me a few. Lbs. Maybe I am unable to give a shoebox the time it needs, and attention to conditions, but unmodified tubs are my way to go from now on. Consistent flushes, and often, locked in surface conditions and moisture is for me!

All that said, it is a good learning experience, and useful for figuring out what jars are good and which are not, requiring less spawn

Seems to be the opposite for me. I'm just now venturing into monos but of the 8 shoeboxes I've done so far I had no contams, dense clusters of fruits and canopies in nearly all of them. One of them has put out 4 flushes for a total yield of almost 3.5 ozs from 2 mycoquarts at a 1:1 ratio.
Maybe I'll change my mind when I get my first flush out a mono but as far as size from shoeboxes I find they are comparable to cakes but in relation to substrate depth and the size of the tub it is more rewarding

its quite the feeling. adding up all those 300g and 500g piles of shrooms from one mono i only do monos for clones or other proven cultures these days. ive had some nightmarish MS mono grows in the past and during the hunt for clones and shit i just really enjoyed doing shoeboxes. so i stuck with em.
monos are fun tho. ill be doing a mono tub grow soon with my mexiclone

I also prefer monos vs shoeboxes.
I feel like I have to really watch over shoeboxes. Great for identifying proper surface conditions.
