Unmodified, Unflipped, No drill, Monotub TEK 2

Unmodified, Unflipped, No drill, Monotub Disclaimer: This is my first write up, so hope its useful to fellow shroomerites. You aren't going to get a step by step of the whole process from spores to fruit, but some good links are provided. This requires the exact tub shown. The lid design has a gap all the way around the lip. I've done Bod's Unmoddified and also Pasty's Micropore dialed tubs and this preforms the same for me (but only have one run under the belt). I noticed that it was slower to pin than other designs. Probably because of lower amounts of air exchange during colonization. It should be set and forget, but everyone has different room conditions. So try it out and see how it does. Need some people to experiment and report back. I learned agar, grain spawn, Still Air Boxes, Flowhoods, and more from Bod. You can find all his teks here along with other member's: Trusted Cultivator TEKSStep 1: Buy this Tub
  Sterilite 51 Qt./48L Modular Latch Box. Walmart has them. This tub works because how the lid sits and allows air exchange.
 Step 2: Spawn into TubI'm not going to write up how to spawn a tub. Most important parts: Make sure the substrate is at FIELD CAPACITY and use a top layer. Its exactly the same as any other monotub. Here are some links to great Teks: Damion5050's Coir Tek - I do the same prep but use a liner for the substrate. Also, you DO NOT cover with a bag during colonization. Just spawn it, latch lid and wait. Eat's No Boil Coir Tub Tek - No boil is what the cool kids are doing now Step 3: Latch tub and come back in 10 days.Check proper surface conditions after full colonization. I generally mist once before it pins. That goes for any style container I've used. A lot of others report that they never have to mist. The substrate will create its own moisture. You do you. ComebackKids awesome writeup is the best place to learn: Maintaining Proper Surface Conditions Step 4: Watch them grow!

I got them at Walmart. Ordered them by the 6 pack. Its cheaper and easier than driving around all day to figure out what store has them in stock.

Yessssss, and the reason I bought these was because you can get 3 to fit on a 48 inch wide shelf. Most tubs this size will not. I got them home and saw the air gap in the lid and ran this one as an experiment. The others I put the 4 holes in the bottom, but didn't do the top 2 holes. That works great too.

Had to drill holes in unmodified tubs before because the lids would get forced shut, they were cheaply made compared to these bins tho

I guess I will have to hunt multiple wal-marts, but the ones in my area don't seem to have this style of tub.
I am interested in trying it out to see if it will change my flushes. I basically do the same thing and these Sterlite tubs allow enough air in, but I still see moisture forming on top of the sub.

I found them on Walmart for a 6 pack. I didn’t want to get that many so I may pay a visit to the store to see if they have em. I think you can actually check if the local store has them in stock through their website.

Do you think the half size 24L tubs would do just as well? Seems like the lid design is the same.

I would think so, noticed that they come in a bunch of different sizes that are meant to all be stacked together. So 2 smaller ones could stack on top of a big one. Didn't really look at the lids on other sizes, but It will be sick if they all worked and could stacked together.

I gave the 12L tote a try after reading this. My results were "ok".
 
I wouldn't say it worked any better than other totes. For 3 dollars more I can buy a 10 pack of 6qt shoe boxes and get the same results. I do like how wide this tote is, how flat the bottom is and how easy they are to stack. I probably wont buy anymore of these, but I wont stop using this one.

When you say you tried 4 holes at the bottom, what size hole are you talking and did you use poly or micropore tape?

So Ricky this tub had me thinking. I bought this ikea tub 10 years ago. It’s been sitting in my garage. It has a similar lip. At the time I was going to try it out for a mono. But I think I’m going to give this a shot. Look at the way the lid sits on it. do you think it might work?
The lid almost needs something with weight on top of it to hold it down firmly. One reason I didn’t try it before. Stacking seemed futile. But upon further examination this might be more open air than most tubs.
I was about to turn this into a pasty tub but I think I want to test it as is first.

It might work, only one way to know for sure 
The lids on your tub don't look like they have a forced gap acting like spacers:
  Id just run something you are used to and compare to other tubs. I think it doesn't take much air to get a pinset and will notice the difference during growth.

yep, It did dry out a bit. (2nd flush had 3 fruits so I didn't post) I wanted to do this as a set and forget and these were the results.

Thanks for posting the results up. Its kinda counterintuitive that the sub would dry out and the fruits would also be needing air. Can't really dry it and suffocate it at the same time. I have another one right now about to finish up. Will post some pics soon.

2nd attempt in this tub. Looking really good. I goofed and spawned the same culture as the tek pictures. I really wanted to try something different to see how it would perform. Oh well.

So this is more a follow along of sorts than a refined tek?

I've only done one run of un-mod shoeboxes and I'll never go back to holes again.
As a bonus, you can add water to the tub to float you sub to the top and harvest it there instead of reaching in. Take some water out and add a weight on top when you're done and you can soak it that way. Tip it up and support your sub while you dump the water off and you're good to go

Even shoeboxes and the underbed storage totes you use were posted years ago When I first got here lol. It's all just how people prefer to do it , it's why I have never bothered to " write a tek" I just follow them

Now I'm thinking, I have seen a modded SB: it was for pans though... wild... and NO WAY! I INVENTED IT!
 BAHAHAHAHA
Nah: I just ran a bunch of tests(tubs) and spent several months (still) tweaking my ratios and what haves... then the weather changes and I have to adjust again lol...

Not that I've seen. I guess I said that to make clear that they didn't have holes

I dunno what makes something a tek. Once you understand how these things grow, you can pretty much fruit them in anything with the right adjustments. But for the beginners, they just need something simple that works. This doesn't require any mods, no dub tubbing, no lid flipping. Leave the lid snapped closed, thats it.

For me, a tek is tested across multiple cultures:proven... ratios worked out, expectations of consistent results : a refined TEKnique if you will...
Cubensis is comparable to weeds, in that they're difficult to NOT grow SOMETHING (with clean spawn)... They'll grow on just about anything, in just about any conditions(inside wider parameters than most species: ESPECIALLY active species)
Point being, growing mushrooms in something once, twice, even a dozen times, is not necessarily a testament that it's optimal or reliable, or that there's nothing one could change about the approach to make it more so of either... that said, I'm here for the action: seems to do well enough

Finally got around to doing running another one of these tubs. Results were pretty decent. They are definitely getting enough air for a solid pinset and good growth.

Honestly if you had a way to test a mono and a shoebox based on regions I think the unmodified one would work better in the northern climates and the modified one work better in the south. If your growing in Alabama with 65% RH in your house you may need to make adjustments. But if your in Maine with 20% RH you can probably run an unmodified tub.
I see alot of people posting Humidistats inside their tub when I think people should be using them outside.

Good job Ricky! Really nice find as well. I’d be interested to see how well they do with PE varieties.
Also I like your assessment sock. I think you have some good points. I’ve tried unmodded in humid climates and it’s a shit show. But maybe rh has something to do with it. I would think the opposite though to be true.
At a 50%rh modded tubs do awesome with poly, fish filters, micropore tape. I’ve also had some mixed results with pasty’s ez dial and getting growth around the edges of tubs and not the center.

has anyone tried an unmodified tub that's bigger than 50ish quarts? I have a 66quart and was wondering if that would go?
