Set it & forget it! ~ Fully automated monotub 

4:10 I'll save you 4 minutes of your life.

You are the master of spending an hour explaining 3 minutes of info

I heat up my drill bits, using a culinary torch, before drilling. Cuts through the plastic like butter and seals the edges so there are no sharp spots. Only heat until it will slightly melt the plastic and reheat as needed. Have never cracked a single plastic project, using this method. Holding a board on the other side of the plastic is a pain, but it can work. Tape just leaves a sticky mess on my drill and my tub. Make sure you're not using your good wood or metal cutting, bits. The heat can dull them.

You merely adopted the mycology. I was born in it, moulded by it

Everything about this channel is awesome but the best thing by far is the lack of commercialization. No plugs, no sponsorship, no FN ADS . I almost forgot some people just want to help others out.......just because. Thank you and your team very much.

28:36 "As you can see it mists really good!"(*drips water everywhere) haha wtf okay..

with out a doubt the best 40 minutes I've spent in a minute. Thanks Willy!

You're the friggin MAN! Willi Myco for President! Thank you you're a life changer much appreciation! Keep up the amazing work everything I've watched is a true gift!

Dude you've been so influential to me through my younger years I just wanted to say thank you

Tip for making the fan hole: grab a old tin soup can from your pantree that matches the girth of the fan, empty it and put the open end on top of your oven on high heat, wait a couple minutes and it will melt right through the plastic leaving a nice clean circle

Best demonstration video on RU-vid! Nicely done! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for making my life easier. I love automation. Keep up the good work.

A few tweaks I would add for the fan setup. You can place the detached fan screen INSIDE the tub (sterilized first) for a more flush fit. Then you can use micropore tape to completely cover the fan hole on the outside of the tub. Once taped, screw the fan on. This will still allow FAE with the benefit of filtering the air. Note: When in spawn mode, tape over the fan with painter's masking tape. You can take the tape off when ready for fruiting.

I've never had the courage to graduate from pf tek. Now I do. Thanks for the pep talk!

Thanks so much for this awesome video! And your kindness really shines through your videos!!

I love your passion man. Thank you for the videos!

I’ve learned so much from you over the years Willy. You’re a wonderful soul Willy.

Love it man, I've been doing this for like 3 years except I use a muffin fan and a Dyson HEPA filter from a vaccum

this video felt like christmas gift nice to see you back,i appreciate you brother i pretty much watched all your content,its all legit,thank you and gob bless you brother i learned a lot from you!!!!

Perfect Timing! Thanks a lot man... i've learned much and still learning from your videos.

Nearpow makes a short cycle timer with dual outlets, where each outlet is programmable separately.

Great Video. How bout depth of substrate, and what covers/fills the FA and GE holes?

I love you so much dude, you’re doing gods work. Thank you 😘

Hell yea Willy! Been waiting on this re-upload

When drilling hold a piece of scrap timber behind

Your video would be much better if only %10 was of you talking in frame, people wanna see you do stuff not flap your jaws no offense.

Love the quality content. Make more!!!!! Love it man 👍

Rock on dude. Because of your info, I now have a great new hobby and continued mind expansion and enlightenment.

i really miss the newbie videos most specifically $100 unlimited supply video where you broke down everything very well if you did a build like that with this that would be more then amazing

Tip... temporarily tape over the area you’re going to drill, it will prevent cracking.

Dude, I absolutely love your content and how detailed you are. Thank you for the education.

You're the man hands down! Thank you for the details

Hey Willy, I have quick question. I'm an amateur, can you explain to me why I would need FAE holes when you already have Gas exchange holes in the mix? I thought the FAE was a feature of the shotgun fruiting chamber and Gas exchange holes were traditionally for monotub tek? Thanks for your help.

I just need to learn mycology but this guy just keep on going

Just starting out thank you make it so much easier to the point in sharing what works for you

I've loved you since the first video I saw of yours years ago at least 3 or 4 years ago. You are amazing dude I mean that I'm a polymath much respect and love

If you know or want to learn a little electronics, you could use an Arduino to run the fans, misting and lights too. It has a built in timer. You can find code to copy and set it up pretty easy. Arduino has endless possibilities.

I ran my first ever grow on your monotub setup and grew 1.25 ounces on the first run dry weight!! Thanks Willy and much love TTF!!!

Awesome! Thank you WillyMyco!!

I really dig the way you convey information brother…many thanks 🙏

This series is very helpful for me as I work 73 hr shifts each week. Hopefully this will make it possible for me to grow mushrooms anyway! Thank you!

This works great! While in colonization I taped everything up with painters tape then after four days the sub was 70% colonized. I then cased the sub with 50/50 mix and 6 days later I put in fruiting conditions. I did not start misting until day two of fruiting. You will see pins at this time possibly. once I put to fruiting I fan 3-6 times a day, 3 times auto from timer then 3 additional manually. on day two to day three I start the monsoon mister every eight hours and leave the automated set up and check on it once a day without having to do much at all. I used medical tape after removing the painters tape on the large holes during fruiting and left the small holes on the bottom uncovered. I have pins on day two of fruiting only fanning for the first day or two RH after fanning drops to 88 after a few minutes it's back to 93-95 RH temps remain around 76-78 love this set up. I can't wait to try Panaeolus Bisporus next

Your videos are great and so helpful! Thank you🙏

Long time fan and patreon. Keep up the good work willy. I miss the old days befor RU-vid deplatformed you. XD so glad to see you make a comeback

Thanks for the information. I am still a bit confused about a couple of things. First, is the fan blowing air out of the tub? Second, can you please show a picture of the final assembly of the setup? Thanks.

Hey Willy, the crap tub I got with "kit" didn't work , grew about 7 mushrooms at different times and lots of failed pins so I'm building this tub.I'm Not sure if it was mentioned somewhere in comments but I used a piece of scrap wood behind each hole i drilled to keep from cracking , tape works too usually. Just a little helpful tip for the RU-vid peeps.

Your very well at speaking and giving information, love the channel man you put in alot of effort and care about your subscribers. Keep doing you :)

Your the man thanks brotha stay safe in these crazy times

I found that when I heated the plastic with my heat gun before I drilled or cut it out with a razor blade. That it stopped cracking at all.

The 1" "circular drill bit", is called a Paddle bit the one you described would also work but entails a lot more care in its' use.

Loving the blotter art

After I have taken high doses of psychedelics, I found that some people still feel imprisoned of their minds, what worked for me was mycena caps. It helped me find more of who I am after the psychedelic doses. But remember we are all like snow flakes every individual is special in their own way as life intended. Gratitude positiveness and prosperity

Hey willy where you get your masks. I know u said about it before but I don't remember what video it was in. N thank you

Is this automatic misting system better than using an automatic humidifying system? There are ultrasonic humidifiers for reptiles for around the same price that allow you to set a target humidity level instead misting based on repeated intervals and times.

I wish I could afford one of these builds! I sure look forward to it! Bless you

The best I’ve seen so far. Good information

I like that you talk to the viewers as your friends. Keep being long- winded and as thorough as you can. Your videos are useful and thanks for making them.

yer a solid dude. gonna hit yer patreon. so many folks are depressed/down with the pandemic. i'm hoping micro dosing will help them out. all the best, brother.

Loving your products my man

So happy I found this blessed channel. Thank you brother 🙏🏻

Sick, Willy! I was waiting for this since I saw your post about it on IG. I just finished six tubs manually and it got a little hectic with all the other stuff I have going on. This will really help. Thanks brother.

Is there any way I can get clickable links to all the supplies needed for this project? Looking forward to making one!

Willy, BY FAR, the BEST INFO OUT THERE, Thank you

Love this guy and I remember the Patron bottle in Peru lmao...but his best is the ACRB tek, it is perfect!!!

3:55 action starts Love the video but the intro was super frustrating to sit through, I already know what the video is covering and everyone knows to subscribe/like in order to follow/support your content. In the famous British words: “Get on with it.” Otherwise thank you for taking the time to add you knowledge to vast database of the World Wide Web. It’s most helpful and your intuitive insights are gems now added to the collection of my knowledge. Bravo.

so crazy to get something from him the legendary mushroom grower

We Appreciate You Bro I’ve Been Subscribed And A Patreon Since Your Old Channel And Your Videos Helped Me Get My Start Way Back In 2016. MushLuv Keep Doing What You Do Bro And Tell The Haters To Get Their Love Up! ✊🏾

Dude. Great vid. I love automation. I got got shit to do and sometimes can’t mist and fan. Keep the great vids coming Shrooms are the key to expanding you possibilities.

to put an end to all the confusion regarding placement of fan (inside or out) that I have seen in the comments. Willy has placed it on the outside with the airflow directed into the tub. I base this comment on the frame in the video at, 23:51/39:06, where you can clearly see the fan and its grill on the same side of the lid as the, STERILITE, name. I like this setup and am in the process of assembling mine now. If I want to take off for a couple or more days then not to worry. Pluss it will help the little guys grow up strong and healthy knowing they live in a stable home not to mention it will cut down on those peski little contamination pinch points. See yall (way) out there; )...

I don’t see your videos talking about lights on RU-vid. I would love to learn about your thoughts on lighting for a monotub.

I LOVE THIS!

Willy you are a sincere fella 💀thanks for the video

Awesome video man! Thanks for the knowledge. Now, one question. Why a mister instead of a humidifier? Does it really matter? Keep spreading the love! One Love!

Personally, I’ve found that you really don’t need artificial light at all. If you’re going to use artificial light, you can fruit tubs perfectly fine using the light on the ceiling of a room, and even just with the natural light that comes in the window. You also only really need 4-6 hours of light a day, not 12. I’ve tested 12 hours vs 4-6 hours and the results were identical. So don’t waste money on electricity doing it for 12. Imo best bet is to use natural light. In the window or even just in the room. Super easy, no hassle.

You are my new favorite channel. I love the way you talk

What I have found, when using drill bits to make holes in plastic is NOT to use a drill (because it usually cracks), but take the drill bit and heat the end of it with a torch and MELT the hole in the plastic.

Where are the links for the timers, monsoon and lights?

Cool blotter art!

you definitely educate and help. and entertain in the process. glad I tuned in.

Can we get a full parts list?

No filtration for FAE or Gas Exchange holes? Seen so many use polyfil, is there a specific reason you don’t use anything?

Thanks for hard work willy myco

thanks willy for all the knowledge.

Yo man, I just stumbled on your channel and find it very informative. But seriously man, editing. This video could seriously be under 5 mins.

Is there a giveaway? Awesome vid although I wish there was more illustration, showing the drilling etc. More than talking but still very informative! A starting myco here about to fruit my spore and this is the most nervwracking part Monsoon solo on amazon is 89$ where is it 40$??????

Love your vibe thank You 🙏

You the man Willy!

This video wins the You Guys Award for using the term "you guys" more than any other video on the internet.

Do you make a filter for the holes. I’ve seen other tubs have like Cotten or stuffing for a filter in the holes.

So informative!! thanks so much!! building my first tub and this is what I'm building!! ✌ peeps!

I feel the same way Willy. Mycology is life.

I think this is the same guy from Peru with the Boston accent that thought me how to make dmt

Hey are the FAE holes and GE holes supposed to be covered in something like micropore tape? Or are the FAE holes supposed to be left open

Great suggestions for upping your game.

Awesome work man 😁😁😁

Can you re-upload the video that was about how to go to school for mycology or get a degree to be able to work with bacteria and fungi and microorganisms as well as drug synthesis

Would love you to do a tek on wood lover psilocybin!! ✌🍄🍄

Wow the end of this video was the best God bless u

B"H, G-d Bless you WILLY, I followed your down to earth (sorry no pun intended) teachings and hands on experience and 3 years ago grew a number of crops in my room. Could barely move without jumping over plastic bins. I stopped growing 2 and a half years ago.Having had a kilo or so, I used a faulty LOGIC: Even taking trips and many mini trips the kilo would have become not potent so like many things a FREEZER is for,I put them dried in baggies within baggies. YOU probably know that even eating the whole kilo the next week would not have made a mini trip let alone Ego Death! NEVER freeze your MYCO

Do you cover your holes with miceopore tape or polyfil?
