Quick Monotub Question
    #5633797 - 05/15/06 05:01 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I've been doing PF cakes off and on for the past 2 years, and am finally moving on to using grains and casing. I've got all of the info on casing that I was looking for, but I've got a question about monotubs.

Do I have to use a bulk substrate and spawn for a monotub, or can I just line the tub bottom with the colonized grain (WBS) and cover that with a casing layer? (I just want to make sure that that will provide sufficient humidity for the monotub).

I'll move on to bulk later this year, but for now I just want to get this down.

wbs is not that great to fruit from, imo you should just give some
hpoo a shot, very easy.... very very easy and well more than worth the
little extra effort that it takes

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want to use hpoo quite yet (I've got my reasons). I'm just looking for an answer to that one question.

wbs with verm works better sine wbs's bigger problem is it has such low water retention

Nevermind, I just looked at the hpoo tek and realized just how easy it is; I'm definitely going to do it now.  Good thing that you mentioned that the hpoo was really easy to work with, BPJohnny, because I was just going to leave it out until I had more experience with casings.  I thought that it was a bit more difficult to work with until I read through a few teks.

Thanks! :laugh: :crazy2:
