1st Try at Monotub-HPOO&Straw-Equador

Followed MonsterMitch's TEK for constructing a monotub.
I've grown Equador on Hpoo before, and it loved it!

 Had 8 pints of Rye Spawn to knockup the 18 gallon monotub. Used seasoned hpoo and about 10% straw + 2 quarts of chunky verm. Used enough substrate to 4.25 inches depth. Will case w/50-50+ to bring up to 5.25 level bottom holes.
I think I'm gonna LOVE monotubs 
In the next 18 gallon monotub, I plan to use 80% straw and 20% hpoo
Everything goins smoothly. About 10 days into it.

Cool, nice box! - i'd be into growing with hpoo if it weren't so damn hard to get hold of in the city

Yea, I hear you about finding hpoo but try to think outside the box. Just about every major police dept. has a horse mounted squad. Find out where the horses are boarded. Or when a circus comes to your city go in the back and ask to take some. Or find some stables just outside your city thats what i do. Good luck.

Hey man I gotta tell you that is pretty poor growth for 10 days after spawning. It should be fully colonized like a glorious white block or very close by now. Unless you just cased it a few days before that pic.

Keep your Enviro's right and you will never make another PF cake again. MM has a great tek for the tubs and Wronguy has a great tek for the Bulk substrate to work out very well in those tubs.
Hope you have great success with your first Mono

Ha I haven't done PF jars in 2 years. Been using bulk sub for quite a while ( Coir, hpoo, straw).
Yea, I think I didn't use enough spawn, but moisture content seemed ok at field capacity. Need to use more spawn next time. But tub is progressing ok with no sight of contams.

Started the next monotub on 9/11. 80 percent straw 20 hpoo colonization seems much faster.
