Advice on Monotub growing Processes.
    #26433532 - 01/14/20 04:18 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Was refreshing on that tek last night, let me run something by the experience audience here. I’m regaining my train of thought of the processes I was using and want to know if this is the most effective way to create high yielding grows in the shortest period of time. I began my process with isolating a few containment free agar dishes which I transferred into blender less liquid inoculate, here first question how many ml of sterile water can 1 petting fish be effective with and how many quarts can you inoculate with that dish? From what I remember it’s like 25-50ml per quart which brings me to my next question. I was using large spawn bags with 6qt in each and inoculating them with the liquid is it one Petri dish to a bag so 300ml? Than I was using the bucket tek to prepare the bulk substrate, here I was struggling is it necessary to sanitize substrate, from what I understand the spawn should be strong enough that it doesn’t contaminate or so you don’t kill the nutrients within the substrate? I was using a 50/50 Verm coir substrate and seen decent yields is there a better yielding substrate not as prone to contamination? I really appreciate the help getting these process all straightened out if anyone has advice how to speed the process up or increase yields that would be great.

I used THIS tek to use an oven bag to pasteurize the substrate.  It worked like a charm, I did have to add more water than called for because it just looked to dry but other than that I'm currently achieving a pinset in my first monotub since I joined the site.

Ok but with sterilization or pasteurization I have heard it can deplete the substrate of nutrients creating longer colonization times or lower yield? Experience with this?

Found Franks two on pasteurization that’s what I use to use, anyone know how to add threads to your favorites?

Coir is invincible.
Pasteurize it, PC it, or just add water.

One plate can make a whole pint of LI. I’ve never fucked with that though. Agar & G2g is so easy, I don’t see the need for anything else.

I wouldn’t want to pour too much liquid of any kind in a grain jar though. At least prep the grain on the dry side if you’re gonna use 20+ cc.

Appreciate the pointer, although I’m using spawn bags so if I do A2G it take forever to colonize so LC just seems the way to go especially the Blenderless LC.

Well you’d go agar->pint master->bags.

But hey, plenty of people swear by LI. I just don’t think you should do the whole blender-lid thing - seems like it requires perfect sterile technique.
I just read about someone making very soft agar, which acts almost as a liquid if you shake the shit out of it. Or just blast a syringe of water into a grain jar, shake, pull out LI, repeat.

My $0.02

Yep that’s what I mean by Blenderless, do you prefer rye verse WBS anything that proves advantages of one over the other?

My preference is red millet, but it’s rarely around so I use WBS. Soak for 24-36 hour. Rinse with max-hot water, spread out on an old towel, wait 1-2 hours and load into PC.
