My monotub cakes break apart
    #25584269 - 11/01/18 12:56 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

When I try to take my cakes out of the tub to soak  for 2nd flush, the cakes break apart or just disintegrate into powder.

I've been using monotubs since July 2018.  My first flushes are astounding. But getting to 2nd and more flushes is a dream right now.

I use about 4" of substrate (cow shit, verm, worm castings and gypsum) in 56 quart tubs. I put in a shallow layer of field capacity and pasteurized substrate on the bottom.  Dump some colonized grain over that (about 1/3 of 2.5 lb grain bags from Midwest Grow Kits. Add another layer of substrate. And continue until I have about 4" of sub + colonized grain "lasagne" in the tub.

Humidity level > 90%

What gives?

Mmmm, I love lasagna.  So what's your question exactly?  You started talking about cakes, and then changed the subject without really asking anything.

It sounds like the substrate is cracking because its dried up. 

1. Your substrate is not in fact at field capacity when you're hydrating it.  Add more water.

                OR

2. Your tub is not dialed in correctly and drying out too fast. Tighten the polyfil.

Is your lid on tight?

Are the 6 holes in your monotub the correct size?
