Monotub Issue
    #7877979 - 01/14/08 12:01 PM (16 years, 18 days ago)

Okay, I have an 18 gallon monotub with 1 brick of coir and 5 or 6 quarts of rye spawn. It's been colonizing for about a week now, although it doesn't look 100% colonized. I just opened it too check it out, and there's pins already growing.

I have no casing layer, but is it too late to add one? The humidity is very high in the monotub even without the casing layer, should I just let them grow? I think dunking after the first flush might be easier if there's no casing layer. I appreciate any advice.

If you are not 100% colonized remove the pins. This happens to mono tubs when the triggers are not right. You need high Co2 buildup in the beggining. You almost want your mono air tight (your lid sitting on top unsealed it perfect) untill just before fruiting. ALso, this happens when you leting it in get light. It needs to be in totally darkness for the colonization stage.

Light and fresh air help trigger pinning Cover up your air hole during colonization.



So just pick em off, and let your tub finish. Caseing later is all up too you, but I advise it if you want the tub for the long haul.

It's very close to 100%, I'd say 90% there's just some coir that isn't colonized. Should I still take them off? I don't see how pins could have trigged, there's no light in this closet and there's not a draft or anything.

If I'm not mistaken you can late-case your substrate. Do a search for fahtster and you'll find what you need

Let it fruit out, case it after first harvest. Pretty simple.

Think of it as one big patch.

No worries. Do you just mix the colonized rye with the coir and put it in your tub? Does it keep itself moist?

Yeah I dumped it all in the tub and mixed it up really good. I was going to do 4 tubs but changed my mind so I had a ton of extra spawn, that's why I used so much. It's definitely very close to 100% humidity in there, and I have 8 1.5" holes. I just took a closer look and there's a ton of pins forming.

I just kept adding water to the coir until there was just a little standing water at the bottom of my bucket, I think that's the perfect way to get the most moisture in there.
