Monotub cost and yield?
    #27843692 - 06/30/22 10:54 AM (1 year, 8 months ago)

What do you guys spend total on a monotub grow? With all the equipment needed and like substrate and everything, total cost?

Side question: how much do you yield per monotub grow? I really want to understand the profit possible with each monotub,thanks guys!

What kind of mushroom are you trying to grow?

Most of us in the gourmet side don't use mono tubs.

Using a fruiting chamber a 5lb bag of substrate can produce ~1-1.5lbs mushrooms.

Cost including electricity and materials is like $1-2 per 5lb fruiting block if I remember my cost analysis correctly.

Pressure cooker is the biggest expense. If you don’t have one, the total is probably going to be around $150 to $200+ dollars. Maybe 3 to 4 oz of product, maybe a little less

Im sorry i should of been more specific. I mean like without the cost of equipment and stuff that you only buy once. Im talking about everything that you use for a grow that gets used snd you have to buy again for the next grow;p sorry for my bad english skills!
Magic mushrooms i want to grow btw

800-1100g of dry Coco coir brick
4 x 1L mason jars
1.25kg dry rye grain (other grain can be used, dry amount may differ to provide 4qt jars of hydrated grain)
3 quarts of vermiculite
1 x 66qt storage tub

Optional drill for EZ dial hole set up.
Optional liner / black bag

= 1 monotub

---------------------

Getting clean inoculant:

Spore print / syringe / swab
Scalpel and blade
Inoculation loop (can DIY it)
Agar agar powder - 10g needed for 20 Petri dishes
Light malt extract - 10g needed for 20 Petris
1g nutritional yeast (optional)
Agar pouring vessel (a re-used glass bottle will work or purchase a 500ml media bottle)
Foil
Sleeve of 20 petri dishes
Parafilm or cling wrap
Kitchen jet torch
ISO alcohol 70% (and optional spray bottle)
Paper towel

-------------------

Fine mist bottle for misting (optional, or maybe more necessary as a beginner. If your substrates field capacity isn't on point your tub will likely need misting)

15psi pressure cooker
Still Air Box or Laminar Flow Hood
Polyfil or SFD as a filter for grain jars (can use micropore as a basic filter)
Elevated metal rack for working on in SAB / FH

Work out the cost from this.
