Monotub Question
    #7609249 - 11/07/07 10:48 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So since I don't really like cakes and casings are a lot of work, I think I'm going to get two big monotubs. If I colonize quart jars of rye berries, do I need to spawn that to something in the tub? Can I use 50/50 casing mix? Should I put a layer under the substrate?

Read some monotub teks and search the forums, but in a nutshell you...

inoculate and colonize jars of spawn.

pasturize your substrate then layer or mix your colonized spawn into your substrate

then fruit or apply a casing layer after the tub has colonized and then fruit

re-hydrate your tub then fruit some more and repeat as needed.


at least thats how i understand it.


but do your research!!!

Yeah I've done plenty of research, I'm the last person you need to tell that to. I just have a few specific questions that aren't really answered in a tek.

yes you should spawn to something. i.e. hpoo, coir... like a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio. im doing one right now with 8 qrts of rye (2/3 full of course) to 1 brick of coir.

you cant spawn to 50/50 because that is usually a casing term and it has no nutritonal value at all..

you dont need to put anything under the sub. just mix it all together in the tub.

Answers in order:
1.) Bulk substrate usually. hpoo or even coir/coffee
2.)Of course. But 50/50+ works better.
3.) Depends. I usually don't, but thats b/c I colonize the bulk substrate in the monotub. If you have casing underneath, make sure you use colonized substrate or you will have problems.

monotubs are really just giant, self-sufficient casings, so i don't see why you think there is a difference.
