1st time Monotub - help?
    #26965787 - 10/02/20 11:53 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi all,

First time posting as growing my first monotub. Had some experience with ready made kits but needed to try the real thing. Spawned rye grain to coir verm and have a pretty good pinset for a first attempt from a MS syringe (I thought anyway :p) but the fruits aren’t as big as I was expecting although some have pretty fat bases/stems. I’m assuming it’s just genetics but was wondering if any other factors could play a part in this?

Pictures below... I do have a bit of an FAE issue hence some fluffy bases but am struggling to fix it as fanning several times a day and removed all micropore tape from the holes on the tub so will be increasing the hole size next time. Also, I know the substrate isnt level and should probably be deeper. It had been a long day, I was quite high and I’d used more substrate on a propagator grow than I’d realised I would need so had to make the remaining stretch.

This tub was 95% colonised and started pinning after 10 days so I put it to fruiting, slowly increasing passive FAE over a few days by initially covering all holes with MP tape and then slowly removing it while fanning regularly. Surface conditions were good with water beading over the whole surface, rarely needing to be misted which is why I decided to  leave the holes open without the sub drying out. Iv deleted earlier pictures but here’s the tub after 7 days:



After 9 days:





And here it is today after 10 days and the few I harvested this morning







The pins have grown slower than I expected at least until 2/3 days ago and I wondered if that caused their smaller size as well? Temperatures are around 20-21C (69F) (a little on the low side) and iv tried to put it in the window as much as possible to get natural day light (no direct sunlight) but I work from home and the only place it can go is my desk so it gets all day at the weekend but just a couple of hours in the week. I should have proper fluorescent lighting for the next grow! Also, I’m harvesting some mushrooms while there are still tiny pins forming. How do you guys get such an even pinset and grow? Probably cloning and agar right :laugh: i know, I’m on it but until iv got my head round it is there any advice you can offer this UK based newbie?
