Monotub Help
    #26554986 - 03/24/20 11:46 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

This is 10 days after damions 50/50 using BFR cakes. Does the sub need to colonize 100% before I remove the take and put it into fruiting conditions?
Secondly is it too wet in there and that is causing the condensation?
So, for anyone with experience, what are some of my options at this point. Or should I allow to continue to consolidate before FAE.

I put mine into fruiting right away, it reduces steps and is just fine to do.

My only comment would be next time I'd mix it all up evenly but that looks to be doing well so I would expect good results.

Condensation is normal, just a difference in temp, I just like to see some areas of non-condensated plastic right around the fae holes but that's all, 80% of tub surface usually has condensation.

Thanks, looking back, you hit the nail on the head. I put a bed layer down and didnt mix for some reason? Then I mixed all corresponding layer with the exception of the top casing layer. I guess my thinking at that time was, I wouldn't get pins on the bottom. But now I realize after the cakes I did in a SFC, that wouldn't of been an issue.

Bed layer as in a layer of just coir in the bottom?
If so you don't wanna do that just evenly mix coir and colonized grains.
Then cover with a top layer if you want.

Yes, I did mean it by just a bottom layer. I wont do that moving forward. I have poly fill in the holes. Misted (since the top was looking a bit dry) then I fanned. Do you leave the lid on, latched or off completely? And suggestion about using a fan in the room?. All your experience is greatly appreciated.

Lid on, unlatched, fan in the room is fine, just don't point it directly at the tubs.

:sad:

From Damion's Coir Tek:

Quote:

Supplies Needed

1 Brick of Coir
2 Quarts of Verm
5 Quarts of Spawn
A 5 gallon bucket with a lid  <---NEED TO USE A BUCKET





1 brick coir is a lot more than 2 quarts.

Damion5050 is the user's name that developed this tek, not the ratio of coir and verm.
