Re: Unmodified(no holes no poly) 54q Fruiting Chamber(off the shelf monotub) TEK [Re: TinglingTongue]
    #28376936 - 06/27/23 06:58 PM (6 months, 28 days ago)

I just got these lights last week and you have to purchase the ballasts that they fit into. I have a shelving unit and it actually fit rather perfectly into it fortunately. We wired together the ballasts so it can easily go on fewer timers and that was a genius idea (that I cannot take credit for). We also used gaff tape to stabilize them to the shelves and that is working pretty well so far!

Ah okay, so there are some manual modifications and adjustments. I wasn’t sure if I’m missing something, I thought that’s the case. So if my space and accomodation doesn’t allow me to do that, would you say a regular plug in sort of desk lamp would do the job? I know it’s not ideal, I would like to do thing “by the book” but since I can’t in this case, I’d just get a regular desk lamp if that’s alright. Just what kind of light should I use on it to be acceptable?

And thank you for your reply :smile:

Started this tek for the first time, I think my field capacity needs adjustment next time around but all in all I think it's going alright so far?

I have three 54q tubs with lids upside down, g2g oat jars as my spawn and no casing layer. I live in a desert so it's pretty dry at times, I spray twice a day until water beads are on the surface.

One of my tubs is showing metabolites which is a bit worrisome because contams are present on the small spot.

wow saro those look beautiful. Currently waiting for my oat spawn to mature. I couldnt find the 54 qt tub so i had to get 3 of the slightly smaller tubs. Im pretty excited. Do any of you worry about airbourne contams at this point in the process? I know coir is supposed to be resistant to contams. Do any of you do anything to protect beyond just keeping the tubs away from the central air vent? Also do you peeps recommend putting the lid on airtight while the myc colonizes or should I go directly to having the lid upside-down? (I think bod recommended putting it directly into fruiting conditions, that just means putting the lid upside down, right?) Thanks

I have just over 3 lbs of spawn ready to go, and 2 of the 32qt tubs.  Should I split the spawn in half and use both tubs or use it all in one?  I'll be using just coco as sub.


*edit*
I'm new to this.  I've grown a lot of stuff but never any kind of mushroom.  I apologize for such a simple question but since I'm using this tek I figured I'd ask here.

I think you could probably get away with splitting it up.  Just make sure you get a bare minimum of 2 1/2 inches of substrate depth in each. 

If you keep the ratio down to 1:3 or lower you won't have to be as worried about it possibly stalling out.

Thanks!

I do want to split it and use 2 tubs if it's a good idea to do so.  From what I read and hear less spawn would take a bit longer and possibly yield less.  I don't really need a ton of mushrooms since they're mostly for myself (i don't have friends who like them).  The bag of spawn is supposed to be 3.3 lbs, and I have lots of coco.

This method is the way to go. My first set up was all decked out even with a low end humidifier set on a timer.

This was my third time and I decided to go with this method. Penis envy as well so a little daunting to attempt.

Lid upside down from day 1. Only thing I did and quite possibly isn’t even necessary; I put several layers of tape on each corner top to create a little more gap for a little more air flow once it started pinning.

So easy to keep it happy. Didn’t mist it a single time until about 3 weeks in.

3.3lbs grain spawn split into 2 32qt tubs ended with 2.5oz dry first flush.  Is that good or bad or just ok?

I have a tub going that has quite a bit of side pinning. I thought my sub looked level when I spawned but looking at it 14 days in it does not look so level around the corners. Is the side pinning likely a result of not being packed down as well to prevent FAE? Also paired with good growing conditions I would assume. Thanks in advance.

Compressing your substrate, especially around the edges, will help prevent side pins from forming.  That only really helps on the first flush.  Using a liner will help for all flushes.  Having good surface conditions will also help, but it's hard to maintain on subsequent flushes.

I guess I really messed up… Side pins weren’t enough, they also had to grow on the bottom side of the tub.






Honestly I have more clusters on the bottom than I do the top.

After a two year hiatus from growing I've just made some LC and have ordered some oats.. I have to get a new tub, because the last one didn't survive moving house..
I've used this tub method before and had some good yields.. I hope I haven't forgotten how to do it all, but I'm confident... Will let some pics along the way...

Maybe too much light from the sides.??
Or do you have light just coming from above?

It takes a second to dial in a tub. The crack between the lid and the tub differs from tub to tub. The main goal is to create perfect, moist growing conditions on the top surface. Many people use liners to suppress the side pins. Light has nothing to do with side pins... you can use clear liners.

Recent consensus is to start out ones tub with fruiting conditions. But I have found benefit from less FAE up until the substrate creates its own dew, then introduce more and more air as the grow progresses.

My guess, you got the substrate too dry, and the moist crevices between the tub and the substrate were the only place the organism felt it could fruit.

hope this helps.

BOD!!!! thank you so much. i failed my 1st grow slightly because i didn't follow your tek 100% (did a mixture of a friend's tek + yours)

BUT once i followed your tek (including your bucket tek) i'm getting some results. you are the best man.

Day 2


Day 5 (little pin on a mushie)


Day 8 - loads of pins forming
