Ashley, I'm that weird guy that emails you occasionally that bought 10 of your tubs. It all started here with this video. To date this is the best video I've watched if you want to get from a to z. I would have emailed you sooner but I started 8 of your tubs on different dates. I'm going to have to look and see what the date was but I've been picking shrooms damn near every day since and watching then grow in between. Since the variety I grow only works 7 days or so apart I have avoided addiction to mushrooms but become addicted to growing them. I gave 2 of your tubs to a good friend with a touch of ptsd and depression. He's gotten hooked now as well. I just want to say thank you. I am now self sufficient. No longer do I slow down to do the speed limit or lower to look in a cow pasture after a rain. It doesn't matter now. I'm going to give 3 of my used ones away tomorrow and create another addict. I'm also going to cheat on you and try growing outside which I hope you won't take personally. For anyone thinking there's no way I can do it you can if you can follow directions. 2 tubs would easily keep someone self sufficient and it is thoroughly entertaining and highly rewarding.

I don't know if anybody has said this yet but if you drill in reverse you will likely not crack your tub. Also you can put tape before drilling that will dramatically reduce your cracking as well. Great video though thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

Also if you dip the drill bit in dish soap it will help. I worked on lots of little projects where I had to drill holes in many little plastic items. Pre-taping combod with the dish soap dip had very high success rates even with cheap bits.

Here's a simple tip that I haven't seen in a single monotube vid I've watched on YT.... when you're drilling your holes with a hole saw bit... REVERSE the DRILL direction... If. you run the bit in reverse, it'll drill plastic or plexiglass just fine and reduce the chances or cracking the plastic drastically.. ;). (I'm a long time woodworker.. learned this trick a few decades ago..)

Love your videos. If you run your drill in revers the teeth of the hole saw will in essence be whipping at the plastic instead of digging in to the plastic, this will prevent cracking and give you a smother hole. but run the drill in forward direction until the drill bit go's through the plastic then revers for the large hole.

I have my monotubs in a hutch with glass panels and they are somewhat close to a window however not in direct sunlight. Would you recommend getting some additional lighting? if so how long should they be turned on during the fruiting stage? Thanks again

Hi Ash.......I'm a bit confused regarding the conditions that best suit both the colonizing of a grain spawn bag, and especially regarding the colonizing of the bulk substrate in the mono tub. It seems that with the red plugs in place during colonizing of the substrate, that there would be virtually no ventilation during that process. Is that what's desired? I had followed another mono tub YT video before seeing yours, and he had 2" holes stuffed with polyfill for the colonization phase and fruiting phase......Ashley, please sort me out!! Much Love&Light......D Keep up the good work!!
@BoomerShroomer
@BoomerShroomer 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, but the tub is not completely sealed and does allow for some air flow. But you can also you polyfil or micropore tape from the start. I just like to keep the humidity up while its colonizing then bring it down for fruiting.

Love all your videos (and webpage and instagram!!!). I'm learning a lot (I'm a bit intimidated to be honest). I'll be making my first monotub very soon. I was wondering if' you've tried drilling the holes with a forstner bit? If not I'll try it (since I have one) and report back how it works. Oh, and I really appreciate all the links you listed to Amazon and such!

Best way I've found is let the inner drill bit penitrate then run the drill high speed in reverse for a few seconds to heat up the plastic the hole saw will be cutting. Some thinner plastics you can cut the whole hole in reverse thicker switch to forward and apply light even pressure after spinning to heat up

Yep. You could do a unmodifed tub. You’ll just need to fan when the time comes.

Idk if you reply to comments but we bought the inflatable tub and stuff and we think we removed the red caps to early and began the fruiting instructions based off the paper,(which looked more like what we had vs the video where it looked a lot more colonized then comparing to what we had on the paper) should we leave the sponge plugs in or move back to the red plugs till the top of the mix looks more colonized? If I had to guess based off the video we are prob 50% colonized rn.

I'd love to do this same set up, but like, half the size. If you're doing this on a smaller scale, is there anything you'd change? Would you drill smaller holes? Or maybe just fewer?

No, just use half the recipe and do everything the same.
