And thats why mushroom cultivation is not for the impatient cyrpt.

Really. Mushroom cultivation to me is one of the easiest things in the world. They are self-sustaining and rather quick. Much more so then marijuana and people on this site should be very familiar with that. ;)

I never said it was difficult buddy, just that it required patience... and after already waiting 3 weeks to get to that point I think an extra 5 days shouldn't be too hard to wait for better performance. Can you tell me any benefits of fruiting immediately beside maybe harvesting a couple days earlier?

If you waited a week with these tubs they would be full of aborts and less mushrooms, did you read the tek? The layering is the way it is, to force vertical growth, when it is colonized on top it is time to fruit. Have done many of these tubs. Werd

I'm fairly sure all substrates benefit from an additional week after colonization so the myc can consolidate it's hold... I'm sure you have heard this, is there a reason you fruit immediately with your monotubs? I hope it's not laziness... Try waitng 5-7 days after full colonization and watch your pinset improve:) Mad props though mate! Still the best RUI monotub grow! Cheers

Tub pulled after 10 days after spawn and a week later... Decent pinset?

Many peeps don't understand the mono, I have heard the same thing about waiting a week and not understanding the tek in general from RR, he doesn't do monos, he is wrong about this and I told him that.

Hpoo sets pins like crazy, that is why you don't ever case it. It is so far superior as a method and sub.

Nuther fun fact bro, take a couple 1/2 pint jars for every lc you wanna test, fill like 1 or 2 inches with processd grain per whatever tek you do, and then take a real healthy shot of your LC (LIKE 10CC AT LEAST) and shoot em and watch, 4 or 5 days you can see if it is good, and if it is draw off that grain jar, noc up another lc or 2 and as many jars as you can at +2cc at least per quart...

I was thinking something else here, with that much grain 2 or 3 cc, my bad, the rest is right

awesome, you saved me a headache down the road. Your the best!

I guess the last questions i have on this process is making the tub. What size holes are best and how many per container of that size?
sorry i couldnt figure out from the pictures. Is it 1/4 holes along the substrate and a larger hole up top for gas exchange?

So, I am going back over the thread and looking for things I can help to make more clear, or edit my own miscues, this tek is sweet and so easy...

The idea of the hole pattern on a mono could be a awesome thread, I am open to anypeeps thoughts...

CAVEAT: everything else being equal, such as temp, room rh, air movement, light...

I want the heavy co2 to find an easy way out, at sub level.

More holes on the bottom, half as many on the top level, as many inches between them as possible, so about 7" for the tubs I use- 66qt

Looking great Choempi. I am getting so close to joining in on the fun. I just got a laminar air flow hood set up and getting my Lab ready as we speak. I am excited to get started. :) Thank you for all the great info!

What do you mean by saying you pulled the tub? Your fruiting it already? Do you not wait an additional week for the myc to consolidate it's hold on the sub?
Click to expand...
Ok, I can see what you misunderstand I think.

100% is 100%=consolidated. The "hold on the sub" is complete and ready to fruit, monos like these are myc machines, developed with yield in mind, just happens it is also extremely friendly to lazy :lol::lol::lol:

But you have to follow the tek. Period.:twisted:

PC is the only big expense tho, after that you can pull a tub for $40, and thats minimum 10+ oz yield

minus the tub, it is like ?$ for the poo ( I get free and convinced peeps can get cheap if they look- will double cpoo in # of flush and overall vigor, not to mention the most potent fruit you can grow), I get coir bricks for $2 so $1 of coir, $.50 gypsum, $1 verm= like $5 a tub.

Speaking of tubs, got this today so I can make up some fresh ones, input welcome on hole philosophy and placement...
