Treasure Coast Monotub - Grow log ❤ 4
#25045982 - 03/07/18 01:52 PM (5 years, 10 months ago) |

Treasure coast spore syringe → Grain bag → Bulk substrate
Each tub consists of:
- 600g Coir (+125g buffered coir as the casing)
- 300g Vermiculite
- 3200g Water
- 2500 - 2700g Colonised white sorgum spawn
The Rundown
I'm running these 56L monotubs with a 2" hole on each of the long sides of the tub, covered with 1 layer of mp tape. There are no other holes in the tub, although the lids on these DO allow little amounts of FAE to occur, but not much.
I tend to put more time than most in the prep of the tubs, making sure the spawn is evenly mixed into the substrate and level enough to the eye. You can case them immediately after that and level it out again, though I wait about 2 days later to case them.
I usually remove the duct tape from the 2" holes and cover them with mp tape once the casing layer is colonized like in the 11th of March pics.
7 March - 48 hours after being spawned, will now be cased with coir

11 March - Tub 1 set into fruiting (This will potentially be the smaller mushroom canopy) Tub 2 still colonizing

15 March - Primordia (These tubs are too dry, I also messed up the experiment by not using the fresh spawn but we'll see what happens )

19 March - Pins

23 March - Harvest day for Tub 1 & Progress for Tub 2

25 March - Harvest day for Tub 2

Tub 1's money shot & Tub 2's money shot

Glad to have you on board 
I've been considering making this a demonstration/experiment of how to grow smaller fruiting canopies vs bigger fruits.
What do you guys think, what would you prefer to see?
(I think I have the two techniques down, just hesitant because of the smaller fruits making harvesting a bit of a pain )

Im all ears for both techniques.
Did you inject through the plastic or a ship? How much spore solution?

Wiped the plastic bag's injection point with some alcohol then injected about 15ml spore solution through the plastic. Covered the hole with transparent tape, like scotch tape.
Used a syringe like this, except diluted twice as much:

Both the verm and coir was neither sterilized nor pasteurized. Simply hydrated with lukewarm water.

Update of the day
11 March - Tub 1 set into fruiting (This will potentially be the smaller mushroom canopy) Tub 2 still colonizing

Decided to make this a little experiment to compare results based on a little variable which is in my control, the introduction to Fresh Air Exchange at an earlier (Tub 1) & later (Tub 2) stage of the grow.
I anticipate 'Tub 1' to grow smaller, but more abundant mushrooms than 'Tub 2'. Tub 2 however will potentially grow much heavier fruits.

I haven't had enough time for this so it's all a bit neglected, sorry guys. I'll still keep posting updates.

Yeah man keep us posted!! I just started a mono and a mini and I'll be spawning another mono after work today!
One question is how do you get your liner to look so fucking pro?? Everytime I go to cut mine after spawning it pulls up on my tub and some parts don't get cut the first time and ends up looking rat fucked.

I keep the slack of the liner in the corners when I start the spawn to bulk (noticeable in the pics) . I just use a sharp pair of scissors and glide it along the sides and cut through the corners of the liner.
Will for sure keep updating every few days or so when there's visible progress.
