45 Tub Ideas...Suggestions?
    #7877106 - 01/14/08 05:17 AM (16 years, 18 days ago)

I bought a nice 45 gallon tub from wal-mart the other day for 12$. I want to turn this into a large tub grow. Of course, I want it fully automated. I have drilled 4, 2" holes. 2 on each of the wider sides. I plan on stuffing this with polyfil. My ideas so far, are to go get some PVC pipe and run it from a small humidifier into the tub. I am also going to attach a light to the inside of the lid attached to a timer. Any other suggestions?

Make your substrate out of hpoo/coir 80/20 spawn with WBS 1:3 ratio, go 10" thick, ditch the humidifier, colonize under a layer of saranwrap, case with miracle grow moisture control.

Not retarded, just love growing big ones.

Not necessarily. That's why I reccomend 1:3 spawn/substrate ratio.

There are risks in everything. It's all about pushing the envelope with mitigation in mind.

Not for a casing layer. It works pretty darn well.

You must have stopped reading at 10". I reccomended hpoo + coir. Adding coir to hpoo seems to retain more moisture + provide more nutrients. I reccomend hpoo because you can pull off some really deep substrates with it and get monster size shrooms.

Huh?

If you're scared of bulk, stick to pf cakes.

Contamination? you can predict the future?  And what the hell are you talking about with uneven rh?

its a great idea. i wouldn't use the light inside the lid though.get some plexi glass and cut a hole in the top of ur tub and glue the plexi glass so u have a window... its good cause u won't have to open to see. and don't listen to the guy about ditching the humidifier cause it can act as ur fae plus humidity ....good luck

If you have a deep substrate and use a monotub, you only need a couple of ports for fresh air to flow in naturally providing their is air movement in your room.

Alright. I have ports in the top of the whole thing. I would rather use the humidifier though for more FAE. I do plan on using hpoo as a substrate. I know a guy who has a horse farm and has big piles of shit. Do I just go fill up a couple buckets and come back and pasteurize it?

never tried the double tub but ive heard its wonderful just got used to what i was doing

you also need to have ports near the the casing layer so when the co 2 drops to the surface it has somewhere togo. yeah ..if you let it evaporate (dryout) cause it may have the ammonia in it.. which will screw up the ph of ur substrate... i always liked using the black cow brand manure from lowes w/ some handfulls of straw.just read up on mouisture content....if you squeeze and it drips this is good..if you squeeze and it pours its not good.

go with a 4 to five inch substrate at first then you can move up when u get more confidence and a fast moving strain. my fav SA from ralph

Would you guys recommend this black kow shit? Or horse shit? I know horse shit is suppose to be better because of the fibrous diet of the horse. But does black kow work pretty good?

You will more than likely need to "Fluff up" black cow with some coir or verm

Alright. I'll mix in like 20% verm. How well does it perform as opposed to horse poo? I've seen some pretty nice logs with hpoo.
