10gal Cased Tub Picture Show *PICS* *UPDATED*

#3709602 - 01/31/05 07:06 PM (21 years, 7 months ago)

Okay guys,
Heres the deal. I was tired of messing with small casings, 1qt and such, and after talking to TripMeister, i decided to try this. 10gal rubbermaid tub with cased rye grain. Heres the story:
Took 8qts of colonized rye, Creeper is the strain i beleive, im not positive as i had 3 different strains going at the same time and i forgot to label the tubs. This is the story of the "Creeper" tub.
Knocked up jars with karo i made, incubated at 85 degrees in my tub/tub incubator. When the jars were 100% i cooked up some casing material in a reynolds oven bags. 50/50 Verm/Coir pressure cooked for an hour in the oven bag. I put about 2" of this casing in the bottom of my tub, then dumped all 8 qts of rye into the tub, and put another 1" of casing or so on the top of the rye for casing. Lid was put on and then placed on top of my tub/tub incubator for 5 days until i saw myc poking through the casing, then it was time to fruit. I took my rubbermaid tub, cut out a hole in the lid and taped clear plastic to it for lighting. I also cut 2 1" holes in the lid and filled them with polyfil. A small hole was cut in the side of the tub, just above the casing layer for an airhose coming from a small airpump to provide air exchange. The tub was then placed in my fruiting closet which has florescent lights on a timer, and the pump was on the same timer. 12hrs on & 12hrs off per day. Every couple days i misted the tub with water/h2o2. Heres the results.
The first pins in the tub

Pins started growing bigger

Almost harvest time for the first flush

HARVEST TIME (some caps were cut off early so they didnt drop spore on the younger shrooms)

The first flush

I beleive dry weight was 3.2oz.
There was a second flush, nothing special.
Then there came a third....
The third flush was really just 2 big clusters growing one on each side of the tub. I did not dunk the tub after each flush, i only gave it a good spraying. This is what popped up for the third.

Then the next day, when i decided it was time for those guys to come up.

Here is the smaller cluster in hand (smaller by # of shrooms)

Wet weight of those clusters: Larger # of shrooms cluster was 309g, the large shrooms were 160g.

i will post dry weight in a couple days.
Just thought i'd share how this 10gal worked for me.

Let the questions begin. I will answer to the best of my abilities. I unfortunately dont pay much attention to what i am doing, as i have several of these tubs. This one was just amazed me with this Third flush.
Okay
Heres the next flush.

Harvested all the ones on the left side (The Mature ones)

Ended up with that
Next day harvest the others.
Another 145g wet.
So ~600g wet for this 4th or 5th flush. Ive lost count. its been flushing for well over a month.
