I've had a great experience with the tubs! No complaints. Super easy to clean as well. But keep in mind, I've never grown anything not in the inflatable tubs, so I have no experience to compare them too. But I would recommend!

Spend the six bucks to make a sterilite 55 quart mono tub and get back to us about ease of use and cleaning.

It's not that inflatable tubs will not work, it's that they are a ripoff with absolutely no benefits over a classic tub, but with plenty of shortfalls.  You can't puncture a regular mono, they stack, they are very easy to clean, they produce a more stable environment with better results, they cost significantly less (especially with their longer life thrown in), the air vents are better designed and customizable to your environment.

There's a million reasons why regular hard walled tubs are superior.  That's not to say the inflatable tubs people have won't work, but it is to say don't go wasting money on more of them.

Meijer store brand Basic Wild Bird Food (Wholesale Distributors, LLC)



Has anyone used this brand? Is the cracked corn okay to leave in? Do people still remove the sunflower seed? Is the calcium carbonate beneficial, or will it just get washed away?

It’ll work but depending on how much corn it could get clumpy. I personally skim off all floaters

Yes. A friend that got me into this hobby gave me some extra ones he wasn't using. So far they haven't done me wrong, but seems like the overwhelming consensus is to make my own, which I'll do when these break or I'm ready to step up my game!

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but is this contamination?







This is 1 of my current 4 jars. The others look awesome, I just shook them up. But not this one, had to grab a pic first.

And thanks for the assistance with dumb noob stuff like this.

Thanks for the confirmation. I had noticed a few days ago that around where the agar chunk was visible, it looked more creamy than rhizo. Lesson learned, onward and upward.

I still have 3 jars :dancer: and plenty more culture. I will work at it until I get this right!!!!

I birthed this block of colonized substrate from a jar. Is it too matted from being in the jar to fruit like this?

That's a water tub by the way.

I am posting this here because yes, I am on the verge of insanity over this mailing issue I'm having and maybe someone can see something I've done wrong that I cannot.

Previous giveaway I did, 22 envelopes sent and they were all received with no issues, same envelope and cards are being used for this giveaway.

It's been almost 30 days for 7 or 8 of the claims, I've received a DM back from 7 people, some are in the USW and 1 in Europe both of which should take approximately 10 to 14 days and none have received their spores.

Below is an envelope ready to go with the personal details blanked out and a screenshot of the NZ post dimensions and shipping rates:


Any ideas what could be going on? I have another 8 to send out but I'm hesitant to go drop them off until I can determine what the hell is going on, it's incredibly odd that none have been received.

i have a 66qt tub and i wanna increase the FAE, is it okay to crack the lid? i've seen a lot of talk about it with smaller tubs but i'm not sure with the big one.

would i be drying it out too fast? maybe pointing a fan at it is fine?

welcome to the shrooomery :biggrin:
It's ok to crack the lid, but are you sure your diagnosis is correct?
Is it a modified tub? why do you feel the need to increase evaporation?
Images might help in helping you

Might not want to point fan directly at it, though indirectly may help.

Bigger monos will be able to maintain stable conditions better than smaller. So lid cracking is fine👍
