What should I do with my abused monotubs?
    #26625730 - 04/24/20 09:37 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

This is my second-ever grow and first monotub.  I made several mistakes and learned a lot. I did two tubs the same way but used two different spore syringes.  One huautla and one penis envy.

-white millet spawn
-cow manure compost & coco at 1:1 for substrate

Both tubs suffered (by my hand) in the same ways:

-My substrate wasn't thick enough.  About 3"
-I caused it to dry out extra because during colonization I got paranoid about them being too wet so I dumped condensation from the top of the lid several times.  Eventually I realized that was a bad move but the dryness had already caused a crack in the middle of both cakes.
-I misunderstood and allowed lots of fresh air during what should have been colonization period.  Everything that fruited was very big and happy, I just didn't have good coverage.
-Probably several other mistakes were made...

I still managed to harvest about 1.5oz dried from the first flush.

After the first harvest I soaked the cakes for about 6 hours.  They've been getting FAE since then.  I got a second harvest of penis envy and now it is producing some tiny fruit.  The huautla has been much slower and the fruits are much much smaller.

I'm pretty happy even though the tubs look terrible at this point.  I wouldn't be sad if this was the end.  I would be thrilled if it wasn't.  Tell me what you think I should do.

First the Huautla:







Then the penis envy:
