Shoebox vs 20qt monotub
    #28761716 - 05/04/24 02:29 PM (1 month, 23 days ago)

Just wonderimg whats going on... i have been able to get a few shoeboxes fruit, but everytime i do a monotub, it goes to hell.. some stock, same coir... Started out as MS, went to agar, no issues, went to LC (even tested it on agar), the shoeboxes come out good. The monotub, either modified or unmodified..  agar and LC were done in front of a fresh air exchange box.. Milo, soaked for 24, boiled for 10, allowed to dry with fan on large screen, 90 mins at 15 psi,... 

I thought at first it was the unmodified monotub, not giving it enough air exchange, since the shoeboxes worked, so i drilled a few 2" holes in the monotub..  it had been looking good but now (out of town, had my son check it) its got the green...  what do i need to change.. 

Thank you again, new guy trying to get over a hump here...  do i just deal with small fruit on the shoebox? Lol

Sorry no photos, if they are needed, tell me. i am sure the next monotub will be green, ill redo post or update.. this driving me nuts!!

In theory your monotub should have worked as well as your shoeboxes since you did them the same way, did you clean the tub real well before spawning bulk into it?

Honestly a 20qt mono might as well be called a shoebox too (my shoeboxes are 16qt basically, and they're the actual size of a box that would fit shoes)

If you get contam it sounds to me that your spawn was not clean, you should probably improve on your technique.

Mono or shoebox or cake won't change a thing in those regards if your spawn is clean. You can cheat and get bigger fruits by having deeper substrate in smaller boxes, but you want to adjust your spawn ratio so it's not a mess as well
