48litre monotub, hole sizes/placement need advice
    #26628973 - 04/26/20 06:32 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey, I'm currently modifying this 48 litre (50quarts US I believe).
My plan is to use 4 or 5 quarts of Rye spawn and coir substrate with a ratio of 1:2 and roughly 4 inches depth.

I've put 12 x 1/2"(lil bigger)holes at 5 inches from the bottom, 5 on the long sides one on each short side.
Theres 4 x 3/4" holes near the top of the tub one on each side in the center.

Going to use micropore tape on all the holes for fruiting, but will be duct taped for colonisation the inproper seal on the lid should allow enough gas exchange hopefully.

I can always tape over some holes to regulate airflow and such but wondering if this looks good to go?



Any advice is appreciated :smile:

Those look good. You don't need to duck tape first for colonization and
then birth. Most everyone just puts tubs right into fruiting conditions
right after mixing. You can just Micropore tape all the holes and it won't
start fruiting until it fully colonized.

Thanks, i wasn't sure about that damion5050 tek allows it to colonise for over a week so the high co2 can help form the pinset once there's some 10+pins atleast half an inch then duct tape is replaced with polyfil/micro tape.

While as you say alot of people introduce air exchange at mixing, do you find you get better pins this way or letting it form pins in a high co2/humid environment first before air exchange?

That tek while good is still a little outdated on some of the info and
that's the way everyone used to do things. You won't notice a difference
in your pins either way. FAE creates a good environment for pins but the
pinning trigger is full colonization not the FAE. The high CO2 thing is
old knowledge and isn't true.

The constricted gas exchange like in a jar or brf cake is to keep it
from drying out not to have high co2 levels for colonization. That's why
a brf cake is left to consolidate in a jar before birthing instead of
birthing when its 100% and having to wait for it to consolidate in a
fruiting chamber while it dries out.

You can do your tub either way and it will work out. Just make sure you
replace the duck tape with Micropore tape right when the surface starts
to colonize a bunch so that it has the FAE environment when it starts
pinning. Using Micropore tape from the start just skips this step is all.

Nice thanks, I'll try that instead and save myself some time :smile:

Should I use 1 or 2 layers on every hole?

I just use one but you can put 2 layers on the lower holes and one layer
on the upper ones then remove one layer from the bottom ones when it
colonizes a bunch and you'd be doing a sort of crossover from both
ideologies 👍
