My mono-tub grow...1st couple weeks (few pics)
    #9974261 - 03/15/09 12:44 AM (15 years, 18 days ago)

I'm excited about my first attempt at growing and couldn't be more pleased with all the help and great feedback from everyone here,I just wanted to share with everyone how things were going. I'm going to list below the things I bought and used for this grow (as of yet)

1. 66 quart Sterilite clear tub
2. 1 Mad Season rye berries grain bag
3. 1 syringe of Hawk's Eye B+ (only used half)
4. 10 lbs HMS mushroom compost
5. Twin sized electric heating blanket
6. Patience (cant stress this enough)

So I began this grow by injecting the rye berries with the syringe. Took about a month or so to get completely white, my own fault for not paying attention to directions (insert patience here). Next I prepped the tub by drilling four 2" holes in each side stuffed with poly fill, 2 top (just below lid), and 2 bottom (just above the compost (which is 3-4 inches deep). I then lined the bottom with a black trash bag, which I trimmed to fit perfectly in the bottom. Then I mixed the rye berries with the compost, and slapped on the lid. I just wanna note that all components were cleaned with 70 percent alcohol; trash bag, tub, tub lid, outside of both the rye berries bag,and compost bag. I then mixed by hand (also sterilized with alcohol). I put on the lid and let it sit to incubate. Here is where the heating blanket comes into play. I live in a cold climate, I have an open room with hardwood floors and no closet. What I did was rested the tub on a blanket on my floor. then covered the tub with a black trash bag (keeping excess air out). and draped another blanket over the trash bag and tub. I then draped the heating blanket over that and left on a low setting to allow a stable temp of around 80. I at no point misted any excess water to this point. After about 3 days I feel as if the humidity was dropping down, I drew this conclusion by putting my finger in through 1 of the holes, I could just tell it wasn't where it was before. At this point (maybe not needed) I misted some bottled water in through the top holes. I'm now 6 days in and the following pictures show how far along its coming. I wish everyone great luck in their ventures, and if there are any questions or tips please feel free to ask/say.

I'm assuming everyone can zoom in on the pics like I can? If so could some more experienced growers look it over for any contamination? I have no idea what it would look like!

Hey nice, I'm doing a similar project, first grow too. I have a growlog up if you feel like giving me any advice, I'm behind you by a couple weeks. Just one question I had, how much colonized grain did you put in your tub?
AND
Good Luck!

Yeah I think Doodle is right. I'm not sure about weight but there was no more than a quart of grain, which was plenty to jumpstart the poo. If your setup is like mine id say the holes I drilled (2") were to big. I'd go with 1 inch holes next time, just to avoid misting!
