need more fae?
    #27820629 - 06/15/22 10:28 AM (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hey everyone :hi:

I'm currently trying out my first grow.
I just wanted to make sure I'm on the right track :thumbup:

To make it quick:
-Bods unmodified monotub Tek
-1:1 spawn (oats) to sub (coir) ratio by volume
-spawned the tubs on 4th june
-9L shoeboxes
-substrate depth between 1 and 2 inches




I figured I need more FAE?
Anything else?

Thanks for your help :cool:

Check out the link in my signature that says surface conditions... it's really hard to tell from the picture, but I'd lean more toward your surface being on the dryer side... you want a layer of fine beads of water across the surface at all times after your sub is 100% colonized.

As long as your substrate is at proper field capacity you should be fine being hands off until after the first flush... I keep my lid closed until I see pins and then I crack open one side of the lid.

I'd definitely check out the link and wait for a second opinion from someone with a little more experience than myself

Best of luck on your first grow. :cheers:

Thanks for your answer!



I took another photo where you can see the surface conditions more easily:





I reread that thread from comebackkid just yesterday :cool:

I sadly have no practical experience, just theoretical. Been reading here for some months now :thumbup:

For sure.. we've all got to start somewhere.. I've only been reading/cultivating since January,  but I've got a lot of free time on my hands so I dived in pretty quick and have kept a constant rotation of projects going...

I'm still not the best at diagnosing tubs, it all comes with experience.. and I like to mix things up a lot, pf tek cakes, grains, fruiting in tubs, baggies, jars, etc so I've still only got a minimal amount of experience with shoeboxes and haven't really run into a ton of different scenarios... so far they've either done great, been bacterial, or been sketchy and triched out after the first flush :shrug:

Hopefully someone with a bit more experience will stop by and give you a second opinion... either way, just do your best to maintain surface conditions,  but don't over correct and "love it to death".. the best tubs are usually the ones that you set up properly and then leave them alone until harvest time.

I just double checked the new picture and the moisture levels look good 👍.. I would just leave the tub closed until you see pins and then crack one side of the lid open
