Munch's Shoebox Method * 17
    #26984354 - 10/14/20 12:28 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

How I Grow with Shoeboxes
Shoeboxes are great for when you want to fruit just one jar of grains by itself. Over the years, I've tried just about every configuration imaginable. This is by far my favorite way to grow with shoeboxes, as it allows me to set them and forget them. Before this method, I would always have to mist the surfaces to maintain proper conditions. Now I can just wait for knots to show up, and pop the tops and fruit them.

You Will Need:
- monotub (standard or Pasty's EZ Dialed monos, I use the standard holes with micropore tape as a FAE regulator)
- 6 qt plastic tote (we call them shoeboxes cause the Sterlite brand on this container has a picture of women's shoes on it)
- clean spawn jars
- prepped substrate

Process:
- Knock & shake 1 grain jar until the grains are fully broken up
- Add 1.5 quarts of substrate to an empty shoebox, leaving 0.5 quarts to the side
- Add broken up grains to top of substrate
- Mix by hand
- Level the surface by hand and gently tamp it down
- Add remaining 1/2 quart of substrate to top of leveled grains
- Level the top substrate layer with your hand
- Gently tamp the surface down
- Attach lid
- Set 4 shoeboxes in 1 monotub, stack monos as needed
- Let colonize 1-2 weeks with light
- Pop lids off when knots or pins appear and set 2 shoeboxes in each monotub
- Wait for harvest!

Dude, thats from 1 grain jar ?



4 real ?



Those flushes ?

How big is your grain jar

Why even make anything bigger




A good question here is also whether this is multispore or a strain that performs very well for Munch's growing conditions as he has spent a fair amount of time isolating/cloning it.

There are a ton of variables. Of course if Munch comes back and says it's multispore, well then there ya go, proof this tek is the bomb diggity.




Yes one quart spawn! I couldn't tell you the exact specs of every pic, but I'd say most are MS. I don't do much cloning. Texas Orange Cap MS and Stropharia MS have been my go-to for bulk for years. Canopies are more about providing proper conditions than nailing a gnarly clone, although it can help. And those familiar with my grows know I've been preaching MS for years, this isn't just for this reply. Check the search engine for the number of times I've mentioned MS Stropharia.

Hahaha I'm not a hard numbers guy. My style is to not give a fuck. The spawn jars are just 3/4 quart jars of high quality racehorse oats. I hard boil the oats for 20 minutes, strain on a flat screen, and load them when they are no longer hot. Lots of ppl, even some great TCs, shit on oats. No clue why.

I have no clue how much the oats weigh. Never weighed them.

My rig for making holes is to go buy a glass bottle of Coke, stab a screwdriver thru the metal cap, heat that bitch up and push it thru. Do it outside if possible and be careful to not drop the hot cap off the screwdriver. I can shoot some pics of the design later.

The video for this tek is no longer active.  I'm guessing it covered the significance of the larger tub housing the smaller ones.

Can anyone explain the purpose of the outer housing tub?

Thanks!



fixed it!
