Monotub-SGFC Hybrid by Psilosoulful * 6
    #25103564 - 03/31/18 01:18 AM (5 years, 9 months ago)

Monotub-SGFC Hybrid


The original post can be found here ---> https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22993786/fpart/1/vc/1

I take no credit for this tek. I just reuploaded the images from the OG post. So I figured I'd repost her for the shroomery's sake. :super:




I got tired of using a SGFC for fruiting trays in (surface would dry out too quickly), so I wanted to try something a bit different.

I drilled 1/4" holes roughly 2.5 -3 inches apart in two rows on all sides of the tub, coming up to about 4 inches from the bottom.
The bottom has holes roughly spaced the same way in a grid type pattern.
The tub will be placed on 6 half pint wide mouth jars to allow airflow to circulate through the bottom holes.
I used a hole saw to drill the larger holes (1.5").



I soaked the perlite for thirty minutes before squeezing and adding to the base of the tub, just enough to reach the rim of the shoe box tubs I'm using.



My 6qt shoe box tubs were placed inside the tub first, then perlite was added.



The tubs were spawned on 2/29, and this is how they're looking now.
A top layer was added at spawning and a 1:2 spawn to sub ratio was used.



I'm guessing the dry rings around the tightly stuffed poly is a good thing?



Keep in mind that I'm using the "extra-loft" polyfill to stuff the bottom holes, not the regular kind. I wanted to see what difference it would make.
Top holes were dialed in with regular polyfill.



It looks like it's knotting up nicely, hopefully it takes off soon. I'll post updates on this grow as well as my other mini mono that I spawned using the same multi-poly technique.
Thanks for stopping by



And Here are some results from later on in his post.



And dried and encapsulated :super:



My build


I used the 66 Quart Homz Tub

Here is the one I built, Going to spawn some trays and test her out. Will post back results. The spawn trays I use don't even need to be buried in the perlite they sit almost even with the bigger holes.



Some cake results.









Some 2nd Flush Pictures



A few more updates. two cakes met their demise to trich. It happens guys.

Honestly this is such a better alternative to classic sgfc.

The classic design is prone to drying out. We see people with blue cakes in sgcf's all the time.

Monos don't need holes on the bottom for air currents. You could argue that there is some heat produced by the mycelium that's helping things but there is water on the walls long before the myc starts to recover. This should be the standard design for fruiting cakes.

I might build one tomorrow. Just need to borrow a drill from my buddy for the big holes.

Nice.

I'll make one and try some cakes in it. I only need to mist once maybe twice a day in my SGFC. But it would be nice if I could leave for a day or 2 and not worry about who was misting em.

How many cakes do you put in it? How big is the tote?

Shotguns really work better when you have them filled with substrate (like you do in the picture)

The more sub you pack in the more they hold their humidity and behave more like a mono.

When you only habe a couple of cakes you have to really mist a lot. As i said earlier, we see people with dried out blue cakes im shotguns all the time. I sincerely believe this tek will outperform a standard sgfc especially in situations where there are only a few cakes.

I have a bunch of half pint cakes that will be done in the next few days. I can see how they perform in it.

This was definitely a thing people were doing back when I joined the board. I guess before
monotub's completely took over. I've done the perlite in the bottom of a regular mono, too, and used with trays.

Came here trough a link in elasticaltiger's signature.
This looks good.
I have been thinking about starting a Panaeolus bisporus grow and I will need a new fruiting chamber.
This looks like a solid option.

Sweet. I've had to put mine on hold as I'm in Florida for 2 weeks. So I'll have to try with a fresh batch when I'm back.
