Mono-Tub vs Double Tub
#5266792 - 02/05/06 04:40 PM (17 years, 11 months ago) |

I haven't tested this myself yet because I've only been using mono tub setups. My question is there a great difference between the two when it comes to size, height, mass, or amount of fruits per flush? I was thinking about switching to double tubs and was wondering if it's actually worth buying another bin to place on top of all the others.

I find that single tubs with nufoam lids work great. Nufoam is flat polly fill squares the 1" thick kind works best but you can easily rip the 2" thick kind in half.


this is a old picture and was gettho. It is better if you hot glue the nufoam to the lid. or any other type of glue that is strong and not messy.

basically i do not see any reason why i would ever try a doubletub since i have come up with the monotub.
deal is, the depth of sub in a monotub is just as much as i want it to be and as i am not using straw, there is no need for deeper substrates.
the only reason ever i would probably consider going doubletub would be if i would use straw, as it requires a deep sub, but as i said above, i dont and well - i dont  peace ohm

So ohm on average how much dry weight do you usually harvest from 1 flush in the mono setup

this is straw in single tubs i dont know if that is differant than a mono tub but a 18gal tubs are deap enough.these tubs averaged 1/4lb dry per flush for the frist two flushes. fluse 3-4 were 1/8th lb total weight four flushes 1 dry lb.

the idea of the monotub is that u once do it, seal it up and only open it again to pick your final harvest.
that is what makes it different.
yields vary, i do not know any dry weights as i discard the mush but it has come up to 12oo fresh for the first flush. 2nd and 3rd usually around 6oo to 8oo each.
 peace ohm

I see you guys are using the darker colored tubs. What are you guys (ohm and one) using for light?

well the tub i posted has a light in side it as you can see in the picture above. Those are my old tub my new one is basicly the same but 150 gall with nufoam on the top back sides. And a ultrasonic going it on a rh controler with a 120mm fan on both end sides with micropore tape dubled up as a filter. the fans are on 15minutes every other hr for fae. Sorry no pictures of that as its not in use at the moment.
i think that mono tubs are supossed to be clear.

Do I have to mist the casing in the first few days of incubation(i read it in a TEK)and just then seal the tub?

Because he probably already has ten pounds of dried mushrooms, and hes not a drug dealer but still likes growing them just for the hell of it.
But i get yur drift, if you are going to grow mushrooms just to fuck around why not grow some oysters to eat.

I wouldnt ever use a double tub. It is a wast of space and a tub. Also mono tubs have a better micro climate if the room the tub is in has a cieling fan on low-medium.

I kinda laugh when I hear people say that one kind of tub is better than the other. I mean, I'm currently on my second attempt (first successful one) at the DT, and I've never tried a mono tub...
But can you honestly say that a 12 inch tall mono tub with 6 inches of substrate is that much different than a six inch tall tub full of substrate with an identical tub on top of it? I mean, if the dimensions are the same and the airexchange methods are the same, then what is really the difference... seriously?!
In my little bit of experience with the DT, I find that I like using the top tub as the bottom part in a TiT setup during colonization, and then sticking it on top for the fruiting stage. It's versatile!
IMO it's all about making the best out of what you can find in the stores and fitting it into your grow space...

exactly.
not having any drugs at home, but having them in the bio garbage bin outside that is emptied like once a week is fine.
i seriously do not understand how people would want to have like 100+ grams of dry mush at home (which can be easily archived in one flush) - as that would be an ENORMOUS legal risk.
actually i cannot see why anone would want anything above like 2, 3 grams dry at home .. but oh well, let people do as they want, my way is the trashcan, and that keeps me safe

ohm, are you sure about that, the trash can? I thought LEA had LEGAL rights to search your trash because it is outside of the home and in public view. A warrent is NOT needed, but the evidence found inside the trash can still be linked to you and used in court.
I may be wrong though.

With smaller tubs, like the 12qt ones I've been doing lately, a second tub is a must. I tried a mono setup with a tub this size and the results were dismal. I really can't say why, but this has just been an observation of mine. Of course, most people doing this setup don't bother with smaller tubs.

I have found that mono tubs are the best choice for large applications, where smaller tubs work best for the double tub. It's really a matter of choice though, as I have had great results using both.
Example #1 33 Gallon Mono Tub


Example #2 19 Quart Double Tub


Flush on Mono Tub

Flush on Two 19 Quart Double Tubs




The difference in size was nothing. In fact, I've pulled 4 inch caps and 12 inch stems out of more double tubs than mono tubs. I personally think they both have their place in cultivating and you should use whatever works best for you.
