Day 11 post-spawn, first pins MS -> agar -> 5 myco-quarts WBS Transkei
I'm scared to take the lid off to take a photo because there are tons of HUGE droplets of water precariously hanging from the lid lol

That happens to me all the time. Every morning I usually take the lid off and hold it sideways to drain all the water off. Otherwise itβll start dripping and youβll have soaked spots on the surface that can get bacterial quick.

Thanks, I just did that. I was thinking about removing the droplets previously, but I wasn't sure if that would remove too much water from the system.

Water in the surface isn't a huge deal, but it will prevent pins from forming in those areas, I usually leave mine alone until day 10-12, at which point u drain any surface moisture to and out of one corner, and shake the lids dry...

Day 18 post-spawn, Transkei. Not bad, not great.
I tried taping an LED strip hanging off of the lid, laying against the side of the tub. Looks like the heat caused that barren patch of dry coir lol... lesson learned.

Damn those mustβve been powerful lights, itβs like they were radioactive.
The shrooms definitely liked it though unless it was dark everywhere else. Got the lean going on.
The whole thing looks pretty dry, I bet a bottom water and some mist makes them take off.

Definitely dry, and need overhead lighting OUTSIDE and NOT touching the lids... the white lids will allow light through, but they really need top lighting... a bottom water will help the fruit that ate present grow to their full potential, and likely end up with some monsters... consider dubtubbing it NOW

@Aka lol I know right? Got a Little Chernobyl in my tub
Thanks for the advice both of you - I will dub tub right now. Could you give me a quick procedure for how you would bottom water? Volume, time allowed to set, etc? I would look it up but Iβm so busy with school right now.

I usually only do a qt at a time, but this will likely suck it up fairly quickly... perhaps 3 pints, leave it overnight, and drain any excess in the morning... 8f it drinks it up, add another qt every several hours until it no longer takes water in, drain and cover... mist the second tub to save some of the moisture in the sub from having to humidify the added surface area in the fruiting chamber

Thanks a lot my friend! Done and done.
And good to know that the white lid will let enough light through from the top, I never would have thought that was the case.

Chernobyl zone is making a 3rd flush comeback. Nature is healing.
Thanks again for your guysβ help. First flush 59 g, second flush 69 g.

Hey caps have you made any progress on modding these?
Iβm going to put a couple small holes in mine for the next run. Iβm thinking sub level in the middle of the long side.

I've done 2- 1/4" holes on 3rds at sub level along the long sides: also for the dub tub as well... taped with micropore 7ntil full colonization: seems to be less finicky about hydration, but requires a little maintenance... idk that the difference in yield is enough to warrant the added effort needed for maintenance, or drilling 4 holes in 80 of these fuckers lol

Yeah itβs weird how well these fruit for how wide the surface is. Shoeboxes make sense because itβs only at most a couple inches from the edge with air coming in but I was surprised the center of these underbeds do so well.
The only reason Iβm thinking about holes now is I ran a few unmodded sweater boxes and it seemed like the deeper walls really cut back the fae.
I donβt mind doing a little maintenance if it helps but Iβm fully expecting to dry the sub out the first time I try it.

Thinking I'll run some of these in place of 54qt monos for space sake. Just read the whole damn thread. I'm impressed.
Just need to figure out a shelving set up as these don't like to stack. Or I'll use these gasket tubs
Will have to drill some holes though... hmmmm

Try it with the lids just sitting in place without latching the locks before drilling... maybe even just flipping the lids if the sit well
The tubs I use are from walmart, the $4 indebted box, I prefer it to the gasket boxes bc they're tapered: I feel this helps with the fluid dynamics inside the tub: ESPECIALLY near the center... they are basically identical from a length by width vantage, so should notice a difference in yield... can also be stacked and fit 2-3 in the same foot print as one full sized mono
