A few questions regarding spawning in a mono tub
    #7669868 - 11/23/07 10:56 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hello everyone, I've got a few questions regarding a mono tub as this is a first attempt at bulk , I've read several different methods and just am looking for reassurance that i got a good understanding before i fuck things up, and am open to all suggestions anyone has. Lets say a guy had about 6 qts of colonized WBS and was planning on spawning this too some cow manure/organic compost/wheat straw pasteurized using a oven bag tek ,in a 64 qt container. In a very clean room can I mix the colonized WBS and substrate material in open air in the tub and allow to colonize then apply about a 1/2 inch casing layer? (using 4 inches of substrate) and it not contaminate? Or should i take the time to possibly construct a huge "tent" like glove box to do the mixing? I'm not sure if this would be over kill in sanitation but since Ive never attempted this I am a little distrusting of opening the jars and oven bags in open air and spawning, so i figured Id see what the experienced folks have to say regarding this matter. Another question that arises in my mind is the size of holes I planned on melting two holes on each side one about a half inch above the casing layer and one towards the top of the rubber maid bin in a 64 qt container do you think one inch diameter holes would be enough? and last but never least should i incubate the entire tub during the spawn run or will mid to upper 70's f do the trick? I know these are some beginner / questions but I was just looking for some experienced input. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to help a fellow out........

i like to line the area that my spawn will be in with tin foil that way once the the casing is fully colonized the tin foil will stick to the casing and prevent side pins.  i losely tape the tinfoil in place its ok if it pulls away later. 

about spawnign your WBS to your poo.  you do not need to build a tent :smile:.  just get a room that you can close up to stop airflow to the room (like a bathroom ect.) and spray the room down with rubbing alchol, all over even up in the air and let the mist fall down to the ground.  make sure any heater/air vents are covered so if the heater kicks on its not blowing all that air into the room.  the poo is pasturized and the WBS if fully colonized so as long as you wash your hands and spray them with the alcohol, or wear gloves and spray them with alcohol you will be ok.

After you spawn make sure you have all the WBS evenly distributed threw the poo.  i like to add about 1-2" of poo then add a jar or two and mix it up then repeat.  once you have all the wbs and poo mixed cover the tub to keep out the light and put it back into an 80-85 degree room for about 1 week. (i always wait atleast a full 7 days to make sure the middle is fully collonized) then case and cover for 2-3 days then check.

For the casing layer i woudlnt go over 1/2" i like 1/4" - 3/8" deep casing but no more than 1/2" it will take to long for the mycilum to poke threw. this is just my personal preference im sure someone will say something different.  you do not want the mycilum to colonize the casing layer.  you should just see little mycilum fingers poking threw the casing layer.  once this happens uncover and place the tub in a 75 degree room and in about a week you should have some pins.

I use 1 1/4" holes in my single tub.  put 2 holes right above the casing line on both sides (4 total) and 2 holes about 1" below the lid of the container on each side (4 holes total).  then fill them with polyfill.  do not cram the holes tight with poly fill you want them full enough to stay in place but not restrict the airflow.  once you switch the tub over do not open it untill you are ready for harvest!!

i think thats all your questions you had.. if you have anymore ask away:)

Black rubbish bin bags also cling to the side but the mycelium doesn't eat through them as it does through foil
