Dubtubs is the original shoebox tek. It works.




It is. And i like dubtubs but when youre taping them back together each flush like me and trying to even them out, yech. Lol. But yes perfectly good terrariums

Maybe they even look better depending on the tub. Most shoeboxes arent very high. I only use a true "mono" for big ass tubs, like 33-66qt. The one time i did a regular shoebox with 2qt, when i finally started getting monsters there was nowhere for them to go. They were breaking at the ceiling.




Shoebox dubtubs dont require tape, or holes, or anything other than a second shoebox.  Just set one upside down on top of the other.

If having it slide off is a problem, or you want to stack them, binder clips are way easier than tape.

And yeah, sometime the monsters would have said "fuck you" if you actually had the lid on.  Like these third flush biggies (or fourth?  All my tubs have been acting weird and just basically never stopped growing a few at a time)

Largest one was 6g dried.



I do binder clip my dubs btw.  Clearly those guys never starved for FAE.

:smile:

Mono, dubtub, whatever you prefer to work with!

(For dubs ive always used tape cause its always nearby, and it does work)

Dub looks great but taking it apart drives me nuts. But honestly if its a mini grow (like 1-2qt of spawn) they work really great. Its just worth setting up in a way where you can easily open and close it. I remember just hating the idea of having to open the dubtub for harvest and tape it back together. But it prolly provides more FAE if there are holes on both tubs in the right places with the right amount of polyfill.

Monos get extra FAE from the lid it seems, which is a plus for mono as well.

I said this above but for smaller grows, dubtub, for large grows, a nice 33qt mono works well (i dont like to make them too big, id rather just run 2)

Binder clips, thats a great idea. Better than tape! Lol

Ive always been in the habit of allowing just a bit of air exchange during the spawn run and once i see full colonization or a pin id put it in "FC mode". I guess its good that i checked these newer teks out, thank you for constantly helping to evolve the mushroom community, bodhi, and really all you hard working shroomerites!

Having great surface conditions is really the only way to prevent side pins.

And I think without a liner, they're very likely second flush and on anyway.  (Or even with a liner in my case, so I stopped using them)

Of course, they're a lot easier to harvest when the substrate has shrunk, so not a big deal.

Definitely going to try this! I only have 8 shoeboxes and have plans to grow more than 4 at a time.

I dont get why sidepins are such a big deal. Then again i work with minitubs usually, so theyre easy to collect, just gotta check the sides. Generally if you use the liner correctly and fill it up with spawn/bulksub, you dont get sidepins unless there are openings (like if you were to pull the substrate away from the liner and leave a small hole, and air gets in). But i find liners are useful for many reasons.

There are times i thought it was best to remove a substrate from a tub. If i didnt use a liner this would be impossible.

It is definitely easier with shoeboxes, especially after the first flush.

You can float monotub substrates to access the sides more easily too, though.  (And the top as well, for dense canopies)

I usually end up with spaces in lines after dunking though, and dont really get sidepins first flush, so I stopped using them

Nothing is impossible.

I use no liners and have no issues with side pins or removing substrates from tubs. And the occasional few side pins big deal...

:whathesaid:&:whathesaid:
I used liners about 3 times.:nonono: F that.

So,I finally got to spawn some APE!
Only 4 cakes were ready for now,so I stretched them out over a couple containers.
I put 3 in a shoebox and one in my "one cake" mono.

Also did a 3 cake "menace" shoebox.(leftover cakes)

Hope you don't mind that I show my brf cake spawn procedure.

Prep supplies.(this round I had 4 APE cakes and 3 "menace" cakes)

Birth and rinse cakes.Shred them into containers.(I like the bigger hole grater)

Add desired ratio of prepped coir,(bucket tek)and mix well.Level it out.

Optional:Add a light(1/4") top layer of prepped coir.Level it out lightly.

Put the lid on and wait till it colonizes,or go straight to fruit.(I just leave the lid on till I see pins,then go from there)

True, but once the substrate pulls in from the sides, whatever conditions you're setting up on the surface likely apply to the sides as well.

At that point sidepins end up being just shrooms that happened to grow from the side though, rather than squished flat deformed things just trying to make some space for themselves.  :laugh:

Definitely not impossible.  Just float it in water to a level where you can either move it on top of the lid or just leave it there for harvesting.  Plus you get a little bit of a dunk while you're harvesting.  :smile:

i used to do something similar to this using press n seal over the top. ilike the press n seal because it will actually stick to the edge of the plastic container. then you can lift it up and put it back on very easily. although i was using taller tubs at the time. but id poke about 20 or so pinholes in the pns. then set and forget. didn't need to mist or anything until post 2nd flush. it kept a good environment. even when i had the tubs in almost pure darkness lol they stil frutied.
