Making a SGFC into a bigger shoebox/mini monotub? * 1
    #27046027 - 11/18/20 05:56 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all...


I’ve got a cute SGFC going with some shoeboxes right now, and I now am thinking it is less cute because fuck SGFC and fuck perlite. So...
I don’t have another shoebox, but I want to crumble these two cakes and make them another bulk grow.
Do you all think I could empty this 10qt box, tape the holes up, and mix coir and spawn in there and have it be a mini mono tub/ larger shoebox?
What do you all think?
Think it would be worth it?
Looking for all kinds of input!
Cheers!

Yep. you can do what I did OP.

Same tub different set up haha.
Just use a liner if you've punctured holes in the bottom or lower sides.

Hell yeah. Looks awesome! I’ve got holes on the bottom too (I’m not sure if I’m seeing any towards the bottom on yours) think that will cause any issues with taping?
Cheers!
Edit: saw the bottom of your post. Answered my question! Cheers!

So do u use a liner for the bottom or does the bottom of your SGFC not have holes?

Mine doesn't have holes on the bottom of it.
Specifically I modified this tub to be a SGFC/monotub hybrid.
Where I got this idea was from this exact situation, I have a SGFC with holes in the bottom that I use a liner with to spawn bulk to and use as a monotub.
I was thinking to myself one day that the holes on the bottom and lower sides of a SGFC are actually kind of useless because normally they're covered by whatever the tub is sitting on, unless its one of those fancy metal shelves with slats.
They release excess water, drip on things when rehydrated, and are a big mess.
Instead I punctured the lid with only four holes and on each side about 2-3" up I made my other punctures.
The longer sides of the tub have a 5x5 hole setup and the shorter ends have a 4x4 hole setup.
The holes on the lid allow for gas to escape while the holes on the sides bring in fresh air.

You’re creative af!
For now I’ll be taping holes and lining just like how you got your idea from! I’m all done with the SGFC for now since I’ve only got two cakes.
I’m gonna get a new tub in the next couple months to make a true version of what you’ve got...
Thanks for some awesome ideas!
Have you made a tek of this?
Might be popular!
I’ll make one if you don’t :wink:
Cheers!

I mean perhaps I'll do a write up, but it needs more development tbh.
This is a tub I usually just set up and don't worry about it drying out for quite some time.
I get some amazing flushes, the one above are Burmas and I did my Nepal BRF cakes in it.
Right now I've got the same Burma cake in there, its actually one of the first WBS spawn jars I did and I only did a meager few to see how it fared against Rye grain. I like using a Rye/Wheat mix regularly.
I'll have to measure the diameter of the holes I made and get better pics of the actual tub so it can be easily replicated for you if you want to make one.

Took your advice!


I’m not even sure what I would call this, a monotub?
All the holes are taped off and it’s gonna be a pain in the ass to get the tape off but honestly I’ll probably just use it as a bulk growing box from now on...
Thanks for the idea and I can’t wait to see what the mushroom gods bring me!
Cheers!
