one of my boxes has lifted as its growing fruits underneath, would using this TEK still be ok? the fruits underneath would get soaked before going into the dehydrator

So complete noob here, but why can't you just lift the substrate off the top of the water and dump the tub and then replace it? Will it just break apart if you attempt it?? Sorry if it a dumb question, I just couldn't find an answer from reading over the thread.
Thanks.

Howdy Trav420 and welcome to Shroomery. Don't worry, there are no dumb questions here - we are all learning.
Regarding your question, I don't quite understand - I guess you could do that, but it doesn't seem much easier. I don't know if it would break the substrate, maybe you can try it?
If you are having trouble making a siphon, try get some acrylic tubing from your nearest hardware store. About 2-3 feet will do.
I can explain the process of siphoning water out.

Ok cool, I just thought maybe it could get contaminated or something which was why you didn't do it. Thanks for the info. Great teks btw Bod, really learning alot from them and can't wait to try them out.

I know how to siphon, but thanks. To me trying to siphon the water out when I can just lift the sub out and say set it on the lid, dump the water and put the sub back in would be way faster and easier and less fucking around. But each to their own I guess. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't fuck anything up if I was to use this method for harvesting in the future.

That's not as easy as it sounds. It can and will break, why take the risk?

wouldnt recommend it, i have to do a bit of lifting when there is monsters underneath and its hard not to crack it and damage it in the process.
Couple of times I've worked inside the tub with a knife and its never as easy as filling the tub and having it level. Top stuff.

I didn't know if they were fragile or not having never done a monotub before. Guess it will be something to play around with if/when the time comes. Thanks for the info!!

The fewer times you handle it, the better. Not because of contams, but because those fuckers like to come apart and detonate on the floor of your room. Speaking from experience here .

Just throwing my two cents in here.... But when I make my monotubs I use a clean, fresh out of the box black trash bag folded in half if need be for a liner. Then when I harvest I pull the corners of the bag up gently all around the tub and then, holding the sub by opposite sides of the liner, I "lift" the sub "overhead crane style" up and out of the tub....
No excess water used to "float" the sub.... And the bag-liner provides enough support to keep the substrate from breaking while lifting it out of the tub before harvesting.
Then when I dunk my subs I pull the old liner off, and put the sub into another clean trash bag and add my water to that and then usually just set the whole bag and sub back into the tub while I dunk for a couple hours before draining properly and resuming fruiting..... Whew

Cool, thanks for the info! Just gathering all the knowledge I can before making any attempts at this hobby. Do it right the first time and there's way less margin for error.

May I ask what your thoughts are on liners, tape or nothing? Which has the best results? Seems without a liner one can flood the tub... Ive only used liners on my first two success. Trying Gorilla tape and bare. Already seeing MASS side pins on the nude tub.

Try not misting the sides of the tub and focus it more in the center and that won't happen.

How long do you have after harvesting that they should be tossed in the dehydrator?

There's no reason not to put them in immediately
