Hey bTW i saw you posted sometihng about running your coolmist on a timer to turn on 15 minutes 3 times a day. If you want optimal results you want a lot more FAE than that. RR recommends a few times within the hour! So you can imagine how much fresh air those mushies need. 2 minutes on every 15-20 minutes would be better.

I am contemplating on moving to these big ass tubs too...
The sub took about a days work, the spawn was another days work. But with a better PC (mine only does three 1qt jars at a time) it could go allot faster. Give me a day or two and I'll post the way I do my coir. With pics.

archangel0585 said: hey man, why use the plastic sheet over the top..I mean you are using a tub, if you had just popped the lid on and kept it in the dark it would stay really near 100%RH?
Thats to keep the c02 Trapped if your talking about the white plastic. Without it my sub would prolly start to pin. It has some small slits over it to allow for some gas exchange... Its a fine balance.

Akira said: Looking good. The tub color seems a little light though, might want to put some dark black duck tape around sides to avoid side fruiting, unless you don't mind that...
I know, I have been thinking allot on this but at the moment while the sub is colonizing its in a almost pitch black place. I still have some time to think about adding something for light shielding.
As I said previously:

Fungi_x said: I have been doing allot of thinking on the issue of side pinning but still haven't decided on what I'm going to do about it. Maybe i will hold off on getting the second tub going and use it as a light shield by setting the one tub into it.
I'm going to see how much reflective tape it will take Tuesday.

I'm still confused. I asked and some one answered but I still can't find were you stated how much you were running your coolmist in your BAT Grow (Big Ass Tub Grow ) If you could clear that up for my I would really appreciate it.
I'm kinda tired so if I missed any questions please point this out to me.
But I really think thins is the best option for going bulk if your sterile techniques are really good. Sure you can get these yields from a Martha. But its allot of work getting all those individual casings ready. Of course the advantage to a Martha and having all your substrate spread out among many different containers is that if something goes wrong your prolly not going to loose everything. But like I said. If you have been working or your sterile techniques and are not getting hardly any of your casings lost to contams, then baby thins is the end all way to go bulk IMHO.

My guess:
12 oz dry.
*crosses fingers* I need some prints!
For the sidepinning...just tape some tinfoil to the sides...if you spend a whole day getting the thing ready might as well spend 15 minutes making sure you don't lose weight to sidepins.
Good luck...I'll be following along.

At the beginning I was running the cool mist for 24/7. Then I went to Lowes and picked up 2 digital Timers which have 14 on/off switches per day. I put them to run 1 1/2 hours on and 30 minutes off(by functioning both timers as one unit), just so the cool mist could take a break to breath and cool down the engines every 2 hours.
More Idealy would have been to buy 3 timers to make it turn 30 minutes on 30 minutes off.
Or if you have enough money (Im buying one this month, was saving up the money for this one) you can buy one of these. http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/controls2.shtml
This way you can have it turn on several times within the hour in maybe 2 minute intervals. yhis would be the ideal FAE control, with several shorth air circulation within the hour.
Good luck hombre....

just but a digital timer with 15 on/off settings.
have it on for about 10-15 mins and off for about 2 hours
the key however is to run it till everything gets wet and then hook up the timer....should be enought to keep it there unless you got yours rigged with pvc or somethin

I have more times that I know what to do with. I have a few that have 15 minute pins. Basicly if I left one up one down all the way around the time it would run for 15min and stay off for 15min.

I don't know why but I'm really excited. I told my gf, 54 gallon tub and she said "54 Gallons?" Yes. It is amazing. More pics. Start your own website. I know that there are people who do more but you're not doing anything fancy and I'm excited as though I were doing this myself.

Well I have some bad news. Today I checked on the casing and we have a few spots of green. My guess is that the substrate has been overheating a little bit. I'm going to do some surgery on it but I have never had very much luck fixing these sort of things once they happen.
I'm going to hope for the best but I'm very upset at the moment and may just end up throwing the tub and all out the fucking window.
Like I previously stated. This is the main risk of this kind of grow. If one casing goes bad you lose allot of work all in one big disaster.

Did you pasteurize your coco coir or just add hot water to it? If you didnt pasteurize then this was the problem, specially with a bulk grow...

you only try to save it when you have fruits right now that it is in the middle of spawning and the trich mycelium is deep in the substrate it is best to throw it out sorry bro
