HUGE ASS RUBBERMAID! 54 gal *PICS UPDATE
    #6970985 - 05/26/07 08:53 PM (16 years, 8 months ago)

I just got a rubbermaid today at Home Depot its 54 gallons, 3 ft 6.7 in x 1 ft 9.4 in x 1 ft 6 in

It don't sound big to me and it didn't seem to big at Home Depot but man once I got it home and set it on the floor and compared it to the size of the room, I was amazed! I just sat there on the couch for 15 minutes staring at it imagining the forest of shrooms it will some day take part in creating for me to enjoy long into my 70's!

I have tried to figure out the precise Square Feet there are in it and can only come up with a ruff guess of somewhere around 10sq FT :shrug: math is not my strong point!

Maybe one of you kind intelligent people can give me a better idea of what I'm dealing with. I have one now and plan to get 3 more. I'm in the process of deciding how many bricks of coir I'm going to be placing in this monster!

um man, you're talking about yielding in the pounds of dried...you know that right????

I mean lets say you want it fast, but not too fast...so you order 10 syringes, lucky you that's enough for 40 rye jars (at 2.5cc a pop). so, we'll say 10 jars a tub, spawned to I don't know...how's about 45 Quarts Substrate sound... but wait there's more, 9 Quarts Casing Layer

So do the totals here:
40 jars O' rye
180 jars O' substrait
36 jars O' casing.

that'd be about (assuming rye, coir, and 50/50 are used) about 60 to 80 pounds of STUFF in there.

then you yield between 6-12 oz of dry shrooms, times that by 4 and you get 24- 48 oz of dry shrooms, divide that by 16 and you end up with 1.5 to 3 lbs of dry shrooms.

now lets make that grams... assuming a OZ is an even 28 grams for math's sake, we're looking at 672 to 1344 dry grams.  or 192 to 384 3.5 gram trips.

holy hell that's a lot of shrooms and all I'm saying is post pictures :wink:

good luck man, that's monstrous amounts for a grow. What strains will you use? are you going to pipe in a cool mist for FAE like the in this tek :https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6967150/an/0/page/0

or go true mono tub?


oh and the link will give you an idea on how many bricks to use :smile: he gives his proportions for his grow.

lol, I havent had spores in almost a year. I made a LC about a year ago and have been using generations of it ever since. I will be using a coolmist and a propeller style thingy, Linke in my closet setup.


I have 4 gallons of spawn at the moment. and 12 bricks of coir.


And heres a hint. If you can find these things, they make the best jars for preparing spawn!





BTW Thanks for posting the link to that grow. It gives me a good idea of how much of what I need to use.

Smart move...;)

If its the same size as mine it should take about 50 quarts to fill  up to 4-5 inch sub depth.

BTW. 3 more tubs. Dude that's overkill, not that overkill is bad in this case.

But if thats your plan i'd suggest getting more bulk substrate to mix with the coco coir. Each brick has about 8 quarts, you have 12 bricks so that about 96 quarts. You want atleast 40 quarts of substrate in a tub that size, so youll need to double your amount of substrate for 4 tubs.

I would have replied sooner but I was the winner of the weekly ban lottery. It fucking sucked! I have never entered before so I figured If I did I wouldn't win. I really could have used some advice to.

Anyway. I made up one of these HUGE ASS TUBS with Coir, Coffee & Poo-water to 5in depth. It took about 7 blocks of coir for a 5 inch layer. Its a very even layer to because I used 6 5in PVC pipes stuck in it to make sure. It seems like a small amount of Coir but I think its because I used allot of spawn.

I got nifty with the spawn. I used 4 colonized 6qt Coir+Poo-Water sweater boxes as spawn along with Around 21qts of wbs/CC

All together thats 45qts of spawn!
EDIT: after thinking about it the sweater boxes were not holding a full 6qts of spawn so im thinking its more along the lines of 30qts of spawn

This bad baby is colonizing very nicely. I'd say its already above 60%

I'm working on plans for something to house 4 tubs, the humidifiers and the light. Its going to be pretty cool when Its done!

I know the substrate looks uneven but thats the bag inside making the shadow do that. As you can see its colonizing very nice!

I did some quick math and there is around 72qts of fuel in that tub for the mushroom to eat. I'm working on getting a scale to weigh the whole think so I can post total weight,

Any guesses on what the yields are going to be? Closest to the dry weight without going over will get some free prints!

15-20 oz dry for the first flush, assuming a good pinset.

also, watch out for side pinning man, you're giving it a lot of light and a little tinfoil or black spray paint on the outside would do wonders.

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.

Im going to see how much reflective tape it will take Tuesday.

EDIT: BTW im not keeping the tub next to the window. I dragged it over there so I could take the pics with my shitty camera. Its in a pretty dark area.

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?

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 dont mind that...
