No touch monotubs. No fan. No mist. Don’t open until harvest. 

update?

@@SpencNar I've had success with these! I used a 1 1/2" hole saw bit for my 20 and 32 quart tubs. I only drilled one hole on the longer sides of the tub and it's working out okay. 👍🏼

@@CraftyDollYou literally just saved me!!!! I can’t tell you how freaking much I’ve researched this new hobby of mine. Bought everything, prepped an area in my house which took the longest because old home, literally anything I could afford that I needed- I bought! From reading shroomery website to watching every tek available, I knew I wanted to do this tek because I already had the 20qt blue latch lid containers. I’ve hesitated to even start inoculating grain, which has probably now sat in the fridge to long🤦‍♀️. All because I couldn’t find anything on where to drill my FAE holes on the 20qt box. I’m too limited on money to screw entirely everything up! You just don’t know how much help something as simple as your comment not only answered my question, but also put a smile on my face! Thank you for sharing the knowledge! If you happen to see this comment and don’t mind me asking a question, I was wondering how you covered your holes? If you used the stick on filters, do you think the micro-pore tape would work the same? I do plan on buying some of the filters later on down the road. I lost my sister 2 weeks ago so all my hobby money has been shifted to help her kids pay everything. I do have some polyfill also, if that’s something that you think would work better? I’m just so freaking thankful I didn’t start drilling 3 inch holes all around the boxes. I had a feeling that 1-1/2 inch would be better suited for that size box, but I also know there are many other factors to consider like temp, humidity and all that. I figure the less I don’t the box, the less I’ll mess with it, because I can get to obsessive with my plants. It’s just really hard to not overdo it with such a degree of varying information out there. Thanks again and I’m writing your measurements down now! Stay blessed mush-doll!❤🍄

Where do u get the filter patches?

I still needed to tweak it a little only because of where I live depending on the season but that’s easy stuff to play around with.

Yeah me too. I have better results. Seems like the less you mess with it the better.

Leave your house for a couple of days just as pins are barely visible and they will show up . The mushrooms love to surprise us to play hide and seek so play along. In nature the grass allows them to hide almost in plain sight until they become to big to hide any longer and they say here I am look at how many spores I can eject and how far I can spread myself in the wild wide open spaces of the prairies before returning to the confines of the subterranean underworld to gather and plan the next adventure into the light.

Couldn’t agree more. Got a fully automated Martha tent last month and already tired of it. I had to FAFO that everything these guys were saying about simplicity was spot on. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's the only way we ever did it years ago, but with poly fill instead of patches and 56-quart non-gasketed tubs. Worked beautifully.

How long did it take after full colonization to see a pin set?

What temp for fruiting condition

I have the heating mat down in my insulated cooler as an incubator with cardboard on top of that and my jars sitting on the cardboard. My seed mat somehow got set higher then I usually have it at(85F) and after a few days of that temp, the bottoms of all 18 of my jars a half inch up were dried out. 5 of them caught contamination right at the bottom. 6 are doing nothing at all 16 days later, and 7 of them are already done colonizing. Lol you can see a visible color diff where it dried out the grains. Just a warning, the mat can get wonky and mess EVERYTHING up.

I started with growing abuncha herb so I've always been the automate everything spend a bunch on setup type of guy and mush growing seems to be leave it be and let it live

I did it all the complicated and expensive ways before I got here. I had the Martha, fans, timers, humidifier, raspberry pi.

@@FunGuyFruits yup same bro now I'm currently in Walmart buying 15 totes lol

@@FunGuyFruits yessir I'm gonna be ordering a few more packs today and will use ur code unfortunately I had already got a 20 pack the other day and forgot to use ur code but will from now on buddy

I'm a huge fan of Micropore tape. I stopped buying filter patches a year ago. I even use it on my spawn jars in my pressure cooker. Holds up great!

Like how big should be the holes ? Near spawn or on top

Technically he's in fruiting conditions in the video. Those filters are allowing fresh air exchange. No misting, no fanning. Leave that lid on and let it be.

What was your ratio for the 20qt

@@philipdennis5020 1 qt spawn, and just mixed in enough sub to make it to the 3-3.5 inch mark. You can't go wrong. Those gasket tubs ROCK! I'm not doing it anymore but I can't recommend them enough

Hi, what was the internal height of your 20Qt tubs? I've got some 30Qt tubs, the only ones i could find but have a feeling they are too shallow... Thanks.

32qt

Light is not a requirement for growth or fruiting. Ambient room light is sufficient. No fancy light setups or schedules.

Thank you

Bro, I feel your pain! 😢 Maybe run a tub on the dryer side, see how that works? I've heard contams are usually a sign of being too wet...

Results?

I have. It works but it leaves a residue when you remove it.

@@FunGuyFruits thank you! Mush love!

@marvin216 For sure! 🍄❤️

Like I say. Keep it simple stupid. Don’t get in the mushrooms way. They will do what they do if you let them!

The KISS tek!

Yup. I wasted over a thousand dollars to figure out how to make things cheap, simple, and successful. I tried every method. That’s why most of my old videos are deleted. I want others to have success on the first try and not get deterred

@@FunGuyFruitshow much spawn to sub in this tub are you using?

@@AllanDavisArt how much spawn to sub in this tub are you using?

I do this method & find that dunking the substrate brick helps promote more growth

A gasketed lid is not essential. Just get a tub with the matching lid.

It's pretty important since if you don't have a gasketed lid the air will just flow under the lid and not through the filters. It will dry out sooner. That said, you can use regular tubs unmodified, which is worth a shot. If there isn't enough airflow just flip the lids over and if thats not enough twist them a little

I attempted. They contaminated

I start with the filter uncovered

​@@FunGuyFruits as in you leave the holes open?

​@@FunGuyFruitsyeah Man that's a terrible answer to his question

Same idea I have for my growth ! Waiting on my spores !

An insulated cooler with a heating pad inside it separated by a towel works great if it's on a temp controller. Basically a little lab incubator.

It's better than just sitting on a heating pad becasue otherwise you end up with the bottom of the jar hot (and full of bacteria) and the top of the jar not warm at all.

They last forever.

Right now dinosoil because I’m lazy

@@FunGuyFruits Right on.

@@FunGuyFruits Do you find that the H2O content, 2 cups, of the CVG recipe still holds true? I find it to be a little dry. Everyone has their own way and you obviously know what you’re doing. Just wondering if you had tweaked it all. Also, how can I send you funds for all of the content? Appreciate you 🙏🏻

I prefer a more wet substrate. You can donate on Patreon or buy swabs from me on IG

Leave the lid on and let it alone

Spawn to bulk. Misting is not necessary if you are at field capacity with your sub.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Maybe two holes per long side

Sure do

I ended up adding 2 pounds of spawn and 4 pounds of substrate which gave me about 3 inches of bulk spawn.

From what I've heard they only need light for direction, it doesn't benefit the growth at all.

So I can stack them

You will definitely get side pins without a liner. It's not about light. It's about the sub shrinking and creating the perfect micro climate for pins along the sides. When a liner is used, the mycelium sticks to it.

Those filters are allowing for FAE. Misting and fanning are not necessary.

Maybe peel the plastic off the back of the filter.

Im not an expert but thats what im oing currently i basically cleaned a trash bag with alcohol and taped it all the way arpund over the holes so its easy to take off yet still sanitized

Yes. But some growers put their tubs straight into fruiting conditions at the time they mix to bulk. That's what he did here.

@@YoungMichelobwould covering the holes with scotch tape stop airflow ??

I had to do some restructuring. I had made mistakes on old content and I didn’t want to leave up bad info. Thank you for the patience.

They are oversized. It’ll be close but they should work.

You ensure that the sub doesn't dry out by having it at least 3" thick and at field capacity. After a flush, you can rehydrate the cake by dunking it in water for 12-24 hrs to initiate another flush.

They have lasted me for years and years

Ambient room light is OK for any stage of growth.

Deeper and moister substrate

I used to. I don’t see a difference

78 is fine

They don’t need the seal lining

I have to try rye again. I still have other grain I need to use up.

Yeah 2” one per side

@@FunGuyFruits thanks buddy...u always get back and I appreciate that I got 6 of these running right now and a few regular tubs with perlite super stoked to see how these do I'm still tryin to dial in a tent to work good I shoild of started with tubs but neaays sorry for rambling on I do appreciate everything tho my guy...

@@FunGuyFruits update my tent is pinning and currently got tubs and all in ones goin too man I love this stuff hahaha...I had to tell someone I was so excited to get the Martha starting to be dialed in

Perlite is not toxic and is used in certain grows but not in a mono tub like this. Bad idea actually. The moisture/humidity is generated by having the substrate at the proper field capacity.
