My first monotub grow
    #26607684 - 04/17/20 09:48 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hey everyone this is my first monotub grow. I used coccoir and vermiculite as a substrate. I completed one flush so far. I harvested somewhere around  280 grams fresh weigth.now I'm seeing some contams as my second flush is starting unfortunately. Any tips and pointers are welcome and appreciated!especially curious what everyone uses for ligths?

Contamination in the early flushes most likely originated in your jars.

Almost any kind of like is ok. Incandescent, florescent, LED, just try
to use in the 6500 kelvin color range and use a timer set for 1212.
Some people even just let natural indirect light come in through a window.

Some t4 leds suck that ive tried then ive had a little portable 6500k worklight work just fine.

Hey thanks guys for the quick replies, the tub that I grew these in had an old led fishtank ligth in it which seems to have worked, I also have two other tubs wich have 6500k CFL worklights in. One of wich has started to pin. Just curious what's working for everyone. As far as contams go. I pressure cooked my jars at 15 psi for 90 minutes. I used micropore tape on the injection points on the lid. Any pointers or suggestions on how to avoid it in the future? Thanks again

90 mins works perfectly there's no need for 2hrs

Spores aren't sterile anytime you inject them into/onto anything its
a dice roll on contamination. That's why people use agar.

What is the method for inoculating agar? I had a coupon for a spore shop and actually ordered some about 2 days ago. I also have a spore print to use.

Just put one drop from a syringe in a couple places on a plate.
With a print you just flame your scalpel, cool it in the receiving dish,
scrape a little spores from the print onto it, and wipe them onto the plate.
Wrap the plate in a layer of suran wrap, or Micropore tape, or parafilm

Now that you've got shrooms, I would go straight to cloning one on agar rather than putting MS on agar.

It should help your next harvest be a little more uniform which should mean a little more weight.

Still pretty new to this. I am about to start doing a little cloning, I was checking my tub for a couple good candidates, and saw this guy growing, it's the only one of this color I have seen. Worth cloning?

Hmmm I dunno what variety you're working with but that almost looks like
an albino. I'd clone the possible albino and one of the bigger ones in that
cluster each to their own agar plate of course.

They are B+, and I was also thinking it may be an albino. I will deffinitly clone it as well as some of the larger ones.

On a side note, my substrate seems to be a little dry, wondering if that is slowing my flush a little, ? Should I make any effort to rehydrate, mist extra,or just leave it until the flush finishes?

Some high altitude misting a couple times a day for a couple days won't hurt

Hey guys. Just finished harvesting and I have a couple questions. How do you all determine when the flush is over? I have picked all the grown shrooms however new pins are still popping up, should I let them grow out? Also how do you guys like to rehydrate and drain your brick for the next flush?
