Gonna Attempt a 1 lb Monotub Yield (Dry Weight) Please add any input if you have advice :)
    #27141108 - 01/11/21 12:42 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Thinking of Doing a Grand Experiment:

It's 2021, and I'm feeling experimental and adventurous.  I want to do a 105 quart monotub grow with 16-20 total quarts of spawn and 20-24 quarts of substrate, completely turbocharged with horse manure, coconut fibre, verm, spent coffee grounds, and gypsum.

I'll have a new Golden Teacher strain isolate soon, and will inoculate 32-40 jars with millet (the jars not utilized in the grow will be put to a mini mono or two) with the resulting wedges, and shit.

My goal is to cultivate 1 lb w/ one tub.  That is all. I know it's not the most logical thing ever, and maybe not the best efficiency of space, but this is an internal challenge for the hell of it, and I cant WAIT TO DOCUMENT MY JOURNEY FOR YOU :smile:




^(stolen image from Google, I don't have the current motivation to get out my mirrorless camera... then  take photos.... then plug it in  the computer via USB.... then upload.  And my phone camera won't do my current grows ANY justice, so we're going with Option 3 dammit.)

So, my current worries:

1. Not enough hydration bc of the sheer thickness

Assuming, let's low ball it... 16 quarts spawn, 20 quarts total substrate.  That's 36 quarts, 9 gallons of total monotub mix.  GAHHHHHHHHH

2. Pasteurization not done properly


Maybe i'll stick to the jar method this go-around?
Maybe i'll just pasteurize some at a time, instead of all at a time, since most teks don't deal with this much in one go?

3. Many other cultivators exclaim surface area of the colonized fruiting substrate thing equals yield.  Yeah, along with other factors, of course, but this one has held true in my experience.  How much can the sheer amount of roots and substrate taking place persevere through this limiting factor?

4. Should I aim for this on the 1st flush, or give some breathing room with the goal and include the 2nd flush?  This is a challenge, after all, but what's realistic here?


Alright, now ROAST ME!

Or gently give me advice.  I'm not to be talked out of this, and failure the 1st go-around wont signal defeat or quitting.  If a definitive tek for a 1 lb grow can be achieved, I'd like to delve into its nuances in detail here.

What about going with a bigger tub? Or even one of those long bois that are supposed to go under the bed? Or do you want to do it out of that specific tub for kicks?

With a good culture and 110 quart or bigger I think its possible in 2 flushes. People have used bath tubs and kiddie pools before. I feel like 36-44 qts in a 105 qt mono would be overkill. 10 and 10 i feel would be enough for a tub that size. Never know till you try though.

I wanna see what happens with this. I was gonna try something similar.
I wanted to do a big brf to bulk method and see what the yeild was.
I inoculated 24 half pint brf jars with a fiji L.C. it's been a week.
If I'm correct 6 brf jars would equal 5 lbs of grain? So ultimately I'm thinking I'd have the equivalent to 20 lbs in one tub.
When I do brf to bulk I normally just layer it then mix so I don't actually measure my sub.
But good luck man, I'm not expecting a lb tho.

I have a spare 140 liter tub (former SAB), I'd like to fruit it some time. Something like 15-20 myco qt spawn and a good culture... :laugh:

You can get a Lb dry fairly easily in a 110qt tub.

1100g coir
8qts spawn

With a good culture you'll get 12z off the first flush. And the other 4 subsequently.

How i would solve this problem.
1. More substrate, thick cake.
2. High yielding isolate.
3. Soak cake before first flush.
4. Supplement substrate with nutrients.
5. Maintain ideal environmental conditions.

What??? Is he doing one big ass cake in there?  More substrate would be a thicker substrate, if it's not a cake your substrate is only brought to field capacity unless he's making mud. All the nutrients you need are in your spawn. What supplements do you use??

i suppliment with chicken manure, gypsum and seaweed extract. I sterilise the manure substrate in bags so i use less grain to substrate. Its why i might benefit from supplimenting. I use a methed more similar to commercial gourmet mushroom farming, something im experimenting with and having success.

With the right genetics and conditions this is definitely attainable.

I have a few PE cultures that I consistently get 9-10oz dry in 66qt tubs using 5-6 lb grain rye or millet.
