My new buckets.
    #9723021 - 02/02/09 02:33 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

My 4 shotguns just cant keep up with the amount of grain spawn I have ready so I thought I would give a few bucket monos a try. Does anybody have any input on this tek how it has worked for you. I seen the recent bucket of fungus post but his buckets looked smaller. I used new buckets from the hardware store. I painted the bottom 5 inches or so black and used small pieces of 1" sch40 PVC for vents. I will stuff them with some polyfill.

I plan on fanning and misting atleast three times a day since my shotguns still need it. Would you still put the extra holes in.

Well, considering the major perk to a monotub(or bucket) is the lack of maintanence, Id say yes..You should not have to open a monotub constantly to fan.. Have several, if not lot's of wholes either stuffed, or not, with a fan blowing...The polyfil is just to keep moisture from getting out, and to allow fresh air in. The substrate itself should produce the moisture needed, and setting up a fan, should alleviate any need to open and fan...

Yeah, I would just keep the air circulating in the room or you might hinder your RH by continuing to open it.

Cool to know. I have to jump through hoops to get more perlite in the winter. That was my major motivation for this project. The polyfill also help keep out contams while the bulk colonizes dosnt it.

Acutally, while it is colinizing, you will want to keep it taped up.. ,After it is fully colinized, you will remove the tape, and either replace it with tryvek, or polyfil.

GE would be a problem if you taped up all your holes. You could keep the poly fill in and wrap it in a trash bag. That way no air will circulate through the polyfill ;D

Stuff the holes with tight packed polyfill to allow GE but not FAE during colonization.

Once it's colonized and ready to fruit, remove most of the polyfill but not all of it and provide air flow.  A ceiling fan, or a small desk fan on low that oscillates or is on a timer will work fine.

I keep an oscillating fan on low 24/7 for fae.

You'll still want to mist occasionally.  Hard to say how often, but I try to do it lightly twice a day.  Once in the morning and once at night.

I just finished harvesting my first flush off a bucket and got 24 grams dry.  I used a square bucket around the same size, 8 smaller sized holes stuffed with poly.  I would deffinetly add a few smaller ones as close to your substrate as possable. Best of luck on them, treat them nice and they'll do the same for you, check it out
