I've taken co2 readings in a room filled with tubs and found them dangerously high. Opening a window on one side and a door on the other and using fans to force fresh air in would drop the levels to around 500 in about twenty minutes but they'd rise back up rather quickly.

Good luck, OP

:whathesaid:.  Ive definitely had issues when there wasnt enough fresh air.  my room was sealed pretty well and opening the window and adding an extra fan solved the problem.

:whathesaid::whathesaid:

I don't mind the two bags per tub idea, especially with your seemingly high contam rate, because two 1.5kg bags is roughly 6qts of spawn per 64qt tub. At 4" of sub depth, that should be roughly 1:2 to 1:3 spawn ratio which is pretty perfect IMO. Good balance between forgiving of bacteria and colonization speed. Speaking of, amount of LC used does have a ceiling/floor for colonization speed. I don't know what the right answer is, but i can tell you 10mL/qt is on the slow side IME*, so each of your bags should get ~30mL. 10 tubs per day once every 5 days is a great suggestion.

A fun thing to do would be to track your time, i'd love to know how long it takes you to knock out all this work. I wish you a lot of luck my friend, this is exciting! Hopefully you won't be too busy working to post updates :lol:


*Disclaimer; i've used LC a dozen times so far, and still having bacteria issues which i have not determined whether they are from the culture or spawn prep. 8-10mL/qt colonizes for me in 2-3 weeks.

Have a contamination outbreak plan in place.

Trust me.

See this thread. I used my basement and my monotub count at peak was 72.

I've never had a trich tub spread to other tubs before 1st flush.  If a tub trichs the spawn was bad.

Ditto. I second this. 100 is definitely doable.

I love lazy days on easy street. But keep in mind you would also have equally crazy harvest days, and dehydrator loads, and fridge fulls, so staggering will still probably be smarter if you don't have the equipment to make it workable at first. I know what it's like to have a lot of tubs before your setup has really matured. Not easy street at all. :goodluck:

There you go! this is my main one I found it on craigslist for $130. Its a bit old and rickety. It seems as if it was made in the early 70's. I have 3 other smaller, more modern ones too.

you could cut that plastic on your floor up into liners and save a huge amount of time that will be spent washing tubs. I've done it both ways and I will never not use liners anymore. After spending many hours in my shower with 50+ tubs to wash flooding the floor and all that. It was better than kneeling down next to the bathtub or trying to wash them in a sink.
I would come out feeling like how id imagine a substrate would feel being dunked and forgotten about till 2 days later.

Using liners I just wipe the tub out with an iso soaked paper towel and done. Turns half a day into half an hour, for me atleast. Maybe not half a day but you get the idea.

Also like some people already said you'll likely want shelves. IME tubs get really hot when too close together. Ive had colonizing tubs be in the 90s when the room is well under 80. same goes for spawn but I use jars so bags may be different I don't know. Beginning of summer I lost a couple big batches of oats to bacteria before I realized I had to have more space between jars on shelves they get so fucking hot. Walmart has 5 level metal ones that are sturdy as fuck for like 50 bucks

I look forward to seeing where this goes, best of luck to ya

Lol, no fridge.  U get a break between cram days instead of cramming every day.  Works for me:shrug:  I hear ya on not being setup for it but if your not setup for it why do that many tubs?

Cuz your an ambitious bull in a china closet type and nobody can tell you any different :lol:

Some people cant help but go big right out of the gate because it's how they do everything, and just buy what they need along the way and make do in the meantime and learn what you need as you do it. Maybe not the most efficient way to start, but it beats "analysis-paralysis".

I was the same way when I started:rofl:
