I believe that is very untrue. I think that there are alot of monotub users out there. It's just that you don't know it. If you were to check out the grow log forums you would find that there are alot of monotubs.
The great thing about monotubs is they are easy and the yields are enourmous. Check out my grow in my sig and you'll see a monotub.
I have 10lbs of poo so I am hoping at least a flush like that above. I love how damn tall those shrooms are. They are perfectly straight up too. That is so damn awesome. I'm so suprised that you got mushies that big off of 1" of poo. It is starting to make me think that I should start using a more shallow substrate depth with more tubs.
One question though. How big is that tub? Just saying you have on inch on the bottom doesn't really tell me how much poo you used.

That's sweet dude!
The last mono tub I did I got 7 flushes off of it. My plan was just leave it until the casing layer contams....but it never did. And since all I really ever did was harvest and mist I just left it...and the shrooms just got bigger and BIGGER. I bet you get at least a few giants down the road....just let er grow...unless your eager to re-use that tub.

mono tubs are the best. i fucked up my pinset, and still got this:

nice grow... 5 for you

He remains this way for about three hours, making bizarre noises, pretending to be a new species that must learn to walk and talk and eat, etc. And he communicates with other life forms by way of the antennae on his head. Eventually we jam a tube from a waterbong into it's mouth and figure he's learned all he needs to know.

Sorry for the late reply my friends! And thank you ALL muchos for the props. I will address these questions one at a time I guess.
What size tub is that? 17 gallons - A medium sized container.
How much WBS did you use? Just 1 quart jar.
how long did it take for urs to pin?, did u ever peek or mist? It took 1 week, 2 days before noticable pins everywhere. Nope, never misted. And NEVER took the lid off. I did peek ONCE about midway through growth by removing the polyfill and looking through the holes.
I love how damn tall those shrooms are. They are perfectly straight up too Yep, I learned a trick. The tub was by a window. I noticed that ALL the shrooms were headed toward the light/window. So, midway through, I turned the tub 180 degrees. Then by the time they were done, they were straight!
Is that one of those cedar rubermaid tubs? Yes it is. But its not really CEDAR. Cedar has a strong smell to it as a wood. A smell that keeps moths and skeeters away. So, there are little bits of cedar IN the plastic. And the plastic the HARDEST plastic I have EVER felt on a tub. This is one sturdy fucker. It will not rot or grow mold or anything. BUT, you can see light through it, so I lined my tub with tinfoil prior to adding poo.

Again, thank you all! And yes, jenerikcairet, if you need help, PM me. But I guarantee that if you practice patience, this is the EASIEST grow you will ever have. Monotubs kick ass!

The downside to monotubs is that you don't have such a clear view of your substrate. The smallest mold spot can turn into somehting HUGE in a matter of a couple of days. FUCK!
I ALWAYS get green when I pasteurize my casing layer instead of sterilizing it.

Well, live and learn, its off to the outdoor bed it goes!!

yeah that's why I find that just popping your casing mixture in the microwave works the best. I've only had one contamination from that and that was my fault. I got a little bit cocky with my sterile technique because I never had a contam and then on my biggest project ever I screwed it up. But hey another lesson learned.
I still can't believe that you got 800 grams off of an inch of substrate. That is something else man. I ended up getting 1234 grams off of my tub, and that was 4-5" thick.

You don't really NEED to case with a mono/double tub setup, but it will help. Mix the poo with a little verm and/or coir to hold moisture better and skip casing if it's a problem.

yea kungpow, i was happy with my flush. But I bet in the long run, your larger substrate would give you more flushes. Too bad I got contamed or I would have never known.
Yea I am going to try that next time Foo. I remember seeing your posts about it. I absolutely HATE casing. Basically because of the time involved, with mixing, pasteuzing, sterilizing. Its just time consuming, plus takes up ALOT of room storing my sterilized casing. And plus, I go through it so fast. But anyway, Im gunna not case next time and mix with some coir and verm and see what happens. Any certain ratio better or just wing it?
Thanks!

Those cedar tubs are on sale at most places, I thought maybe the cedar oil would inhibit growth(not on any actual knowledge), obviously It doesn't, Good Grow by the way.. Peace

Texas. i'm not very stoked about them, by the time the caps begin to open they're pretty tall and lankey, with a fatty bulb at the bottom. next time i do a mono i'm going back to mazatapec, they've been my favorite so far.

yes you can start with a monotub but make sure you read all you can (not the five year old threads )
