monotubs and poo bags

heres some monotubs that are about 36 hours old. Spawn was WBS (PR and Cambo.... Can you guess which is PR?) Substrate is Mycopath hpoo/straw. Tubs are 27 QT with a sub. depth of 4.5-5 inches. These guys will be cased with 50/50+ in a few days it looks like. I've never cased a monotub before, I'm thinking about 3/4 inch, sound ok?


I also mixed up a few poo bags to see if they really work, Jeetered totally inspired this.... so thanks Jeetered! and Hydro420, too!


stay tuned for updates!
peace

Do these look like they're ready to be cased? I haven't really cased before so I could use a little help. Also, I made my casing mix a little on the dry side. It is fluffy and moist, I didn't want it to clump together. I figure I can always add more sterile water via the sprayer later on if I need to. Does that sound ok?

they look friggin great for 36 hrs!! 5 shrooms for you!!
but no I dont think I would case em yet.. are the tubs translucent or is that a pic through some kind of covering??..if they are translucent then they are already gettin light, and if the polyfil holes are already made and not covered then pinning triggers are already set in motion ,,right..

the tubs are translucent, I took the pictures through the corner of the lid on most of them.also, the polyfil holes are covered by duct tape, so they shouldn't start pinning.

Those will be ready to case by morning man, those look very very nice.
keep up the good work +5 for you bro.
what strain? (read and found out, Cambo what is PR?)
thanks for the mention also.
yeah i think i read everything way late, but either way man,
you're going to have a GREAT harvest, you're about there man keep it up!
that mycopath poo is going to flush for freekin ever for you in those tubs. Expect 6-9 flushes.
I case everything in medium fine vermiculite ONLY... nothing else. But your mix WILL work, I also go no deeper then a half an inch.
good god headie have you ever grown this much bulk before? that's gonna be alot man.

haha, I hope so! I had some troubles with the last couple tubs I made, I think these will do a lot better though.
PR is Puerto Rican. I also have two tubs of Argentina and some Ecuador on the way that I'm plannin to use for a massive monotub. I've been doing grain-to-grain transfers lately and it's awesome. I'm defintely running out of space though! 
heres some pics of the poo bags. I tried to get some good shots of the cambos, the myc is super ropey and long, it looks crazy. the first four are those and the last two are Argentina






thats about it, more exciting pics should follow in the next week or two!

good word man.. thanks.
the poo bags are doing great I think. There are hyphal knots all over the substrate and I'm waiting for pins. They are very hard to photograph. They have been knotting for like 5 days now, how long do these things take to fruit? They do appear to be sucking some of the metabolites liquid back up though so hopefully soon.
as far as the cased tubs go, I have a layer of wax paper over the substrate, kinda propped up on the walls so most of it doesn't actually touch the substrate, just to trap humididty. Is this overkill? I know cased substrates require less rH than an uncased one or a cake so I feel like I might be stalling them a bit? I don't want to prevent FAE.
peace

when poo bags suck up the metabolites, they are pretty much going to spit out full on pins in the next day or two.. They are doing exactly what they should, they will get up to 3 oz dry per bag per flush.
Great work headie, keep us posted and updated!

the poo bags are fruiting but there aren't very many fruits.

the bags are coming along, slowly though.... it's really hard to get pics of so I don't even bother.
they are all fruiting, but the cambos are the only ones with a signifigant amount of pins, the rest only have a few here and there.... we'll see how much they end up putting out....
I hope they do well cause I just made 5 more huge coir bags.
have you ever used coir in a bag jeetered? I haven't seen anything on it I don't think..... we'll see 
I'll put up some more pics tomorrow, the fruits in the tubs are getting bigger, maybe 1 or 2 days away from harvest!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
edit: 500th post! SWEET!
next time somebody asks what it takes to get a 1+ lb harvest, tell em 500 posts in the cultivation forum!

yeah headie i've done coir in a bag, it works just as well as manure, only two or three flushes though.
FAE is a major factor in anything pinning well, i squeeze the air out of my bags, slowly, thru the filter patch, they refill with o2 on their own.
maybe give that a try.
good luck man, everything looks great!
oh, i got about 12 oz dry off 8 invitro coir bags.

yeah I was wondering about the FAE for the bags, they don't seem to be getting enough.... I was considering working the bags in and out to get some fresh air in there but I'm worried about hurting the little guys that are growing towards the bag, I don't want to crush them! Is that why you do it slow, and just be careful?
heres some shitty pics taken outside the tub, shoudl give you all an update though.... I'm a little worried, some of the veils are already starting to break and the fruits are still pretty small, I thought these things were gonna get huge?!?

there are two holes on the long sides and one on each short side... usually I would put more holes on the long side, dunno why i didn't on these...... the holes are at substrate level tho.......
think that has something to do with it Ohm?

well a few of the caps are nearly fully opened in that one tub, the large majority of the fruits are still immature though, I think I'm just gonna let em go and get spores everywhere and wait for the others. what would you all do?
also I'm curious as to how you harvest from a casing, I've never done it before. If I destroy the casing layer in the process of harvesting does this ruin my future flushes? I'm assuming I must be careful while harvesting.
last thing.. mycelium growing on the fruits is an idicator of too high rH, right?

myc on the cap isn't necessarily bad bro. you need MORE HOLES u can't put enough really. SQUEEZE THE BAGS i do mine every 3 or 4 days.
you're getting there man, fan those tubs until they are done, then drill more holes in them.
headie it still looks good man.
headie gently twist and pull away, they'll come off easy enough, just patch whatever divets you leave, and you'll leave plenty.

well things went pretty well, I was definitely disappointed with the PR's performance, I pulled about 1.25 oz off that tub, which is good, but I was expecting more. The PRs tended to be smaller fruits, but the pinset was very good. I think the biggest fruit I pulled out of here was like 15-16g wet. These pics below are the PR tub.




The cambos were the next to go, or some of them at least. I pulled the largest fruit I've ever seen out of there. check the pics. The pinset in this tub was shitty, and I thought it might fill in like the PR but it doesn't seem to want to do taht. Oh well. There are monster fruits in there so it'll probably work out about same as the PR in the end. I also got a chance to try cloning earlier. I made two LCs and cloned the two biggest cambo fruits, stab-that-bitch style. We'll see what happens with that. Also, chec kout the bootleg glove box I made out of an extra tub for my cloning escapades. I hope it worked!
Oh yeah, and the bags... aren't doing much. The cambos are going crazy but the argentia and PRs have very few stalled pins. I'm thinking about sticking them in a regular FC like cakes, thinking maybe they're some of the strains that "don't like invitro" or wahtever.
I'll get some pics of them in a day or so.
More soon



peace.
