How To Rehydrate Your Monotub

[@LoveWins]

Has anyone here put their used cakes outside and had them start growing mushrooms where you put it? I've been putting all my old stuff into a big pile of broken down deteriorating wood that has grass, dirt, and some weeds growing in the pile. I'm hoping if I leave it there and having it eventually pop some mushrooms out of it. Not to eat them but just to have them growing and drop more spores in the area so maybe more will start to pop up in my area where I live Update: I had like 15 big ass ones come up lol!! Woohoo it worked!! ❤️✌️

[@GoombaGrows]

If the conditions are right and there is nutrients and water for the mushrooms. They will grow :). I put mine outside and have been waiting for some to pop up as well but I think it just gets too cold where I live most of the year for them to grow :/

[@LazerCatHelmet]

Yep. You can cover it in more nutrients ( or crumble into like a spawn) and if conditions are right, thats just what happens. If they are right for your area, they can noc an outdoor bed.

[@BigCshow]

Won’t happen. Stop dreaming lol

[@michaelray1983]

I noticed you still have little pins in there

[@MonsterMushhead]

I put a shoe box outside in my garage it started pinning full set all over I was so stoked. Three days later I went to go maybe harvest some! I had trippy fruit flys in the tub I was so mad I hate trippy flys

[@Bestoftheworst6909]

Followed this exact tec on my first ever shoebox. After the first 5 flushes,I decided to dunk my brick after watching yours and two days later I've counted about 14 lil guys coming into fruition. THIS TEC WORKS, THANKS🤙🤙🤙

[@GoombaGrows]

I’m glad to hear that!! Thank you for watching :)

[@SarjentStupid]

This video makes me want to try one of those max yield bins! Looks a lot easier than liners. Great work dude

[@familyguy1996iscool]

What are you using instead? I use a 66quart mono tub but I only harvested about 20 shrooms my first round over the course of two weeks, it was excruciating. Hopefully my 2nd flush will be much more plentiful with me hydrating the water

[@DefferJohn]

@@familyguy1996iscool I think your water is already hydrated. Just a thought…. 😆 Just kidding! I hope you got a better yield second time around. 🙃🙏🏼💪🏼

Any advice on how to rehydrate the cake in my grow bag??

[@GoombaGrows]

Now that is a solid question that I don’t necessarily have a solid answer for. Honestly when it comes time to dunk for an all in one bag I tend to take the cake out of the bag and transfer it into a monotub for the dunk and further harvest. I do this because it will create more surface area to absorb moisture and grow mushrooms on then it would inside of the bag.

[@teknokat1921]

Pour cooled, boiled water into the bag until cake is covered, close bag and leave for twelve hours...empty bag of excess water and continue fanning process and then misting as growth reoccurs...🙏🍄 Hope this helps...

[@thatguyty96]

Finished my first flush ever yesterday. The canopy was so full i couldnt believe how many mushies i got. Thanks for your videos! Trying for a second flush now. I soaked my cake for only 7 hours, we’ll see how it does.

Very new to growing can you cut up a cake and add it to multiple tubs to colonise more than one at a time

[@sherrypayton6871]

This was a great video. You really stayed on point and hit all of the important things without a bunch of extra unnecessary stuff. My questions are: 1. You said begin fruiting. Does that mean that right away? You’re going to start fanning it twice a day and keep their Microport tape on instead of closing it off for a while? 2. Next time can you give suggestions for people who don’t have this exact tub? I have an inflatable tub and I’m not sure what to use to hold the floating cake down. Thanks!

[@JadonHill]

I had the same issue I just sanitized a baking pan and put that on top lol

[@GoombaGrows]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I will make sure to try and go more in depth and incorporate different options for different circumstances as I know not everyone will be using the same equipment. When I begin fruiting I change all the holes from being sealed, to being breathable. I usually don’t fan or mist for the first flush and just let the mushrooms do their thing. However if I notice that the bin is too dry or the mushrooms start to get fuzzy feet I will mist / fan once or twice a day. Hope this helped!

[@Audio.Treats]

Have you ever used MGP plus? If so, it states a “dunk” alternative by doing one spray on the lid and closing it up when you want another flush. Just wondering your thoughts on that.

[@GoombaGrows]

I have not used it but it’s something I have heard of and I’m interested in testing it out and making a video with it. I also think it will be pretty hard to get the moisture needed for further flushes without dunking as I’ve learned from experience. Mushrooms need a lot of water and I’ve had much more success with cakes that I’ve dunked than ones I’ve heavily misted.

[@G-Whizs_Wizardry]

I inject my cakes with a 500ml syringe instead of dunking, works great and is more clean

[@GoombaGrows]

@@chestermarcol3831 of course! Something else I should note that wasn’t mentioned in this video is that I have recently been experimenting growing with no liner. So far so good on the side pins. You still get a few after the 3rd and 4th flush once the cake has shrunk significantly but if you use no liner and pack down the sides pretty tight you should be able to avoid side pins for at least the first flush possibly even the second and third. It’s just a little harder to clean out the bin once all is said and done without the liner.

What causes it? Any advice be appreciated never donw this before

[@GoombaGrows]

I noticed quite a few of them on my last grow as well. Those are mushroom aborts. There’s a few reasons that can cause aborts from what I’ve learned. I think a big reason you will see them is not enough moisture. I tend to see more when my cakes are starting to dry out. Another cause for aborts can be bacteria or contaminants. I also believe lack of nutrition can lead to aborts and overall genetics may also play a big part in how many show up in your grows. I am no expert though and this is just the information I have gathered in the last few months from my own experiences and research. Hope this helped!

[@mohamadparadox2453]

So after like 5 or 10 flushes you do this? And it will grow alot of mushrooms too, very new to this mushroom thing

[@GoombaGrows]

I usually do this for every flush after the first harvest. That way your cake is optimally hydrated and you will get a lot more mushrooms and only should need to do around 3-4 flushes to get the full potential out of your mushroom cake :)

[@mohamadparadox2453]

I see, but if that’s the case, would anything happen if i don’t dunk after every flush?

I'd spray the surface of it down with peroxide after. It won't hurt the mycelium and it helps prevent some contamination. I get the mycelium is strong at this stage but it isn't invulnerable to contamination.

is it okay to still have aborts and small pins in the cake while doing this?

[@martinmongi1871]

Hi! good video. I have a question. I already did 1 flush (It wasnt very big, i got around 8 big mushs, and a looot of aborts). The problem its that the soil its still pretty hydratated. Should i soak the bulk in water in order to start the second flush? Or maybe just wait untill they start growing again?

[@GoombaGrows]

It’s totally your call. I’m sure you already did something with it as I replied late. I would assume a dunk would be beneficial in this case even though the cake still seems hydrated. It will only absorb what it needs.

LOVE the channel, man! Straight and to the point. Question: with that liner being more rigid than the traditional black plastic liners, do you notice more side pins or is the mycelium strong enough to latch on and pull this liner with it?

[@GoombaGrows]

So far I’ve noticed that it’s harder for the mycelium to stick to the walls in later flushes. You might get away with minimal side pins for the first 1 or 2 flushes if you pack it tight but the liner often doesn’t shrink enough with the cake so you’ll see side pins later on. They don’t tend to be an issue at all they sometimes they just grow funny.

Make sure that when you are colonizing bulk substrate you let it colonize for as long as possible and try your best not to open the lid. Also make sure your bin is completely sealed during fruiting conditions. Having FAE coming through could make it fruit too soon. Mostly though I believe it is up to genetics. Also make sure your using around a 1:1 ratio of substrate to spawn.

Also thank you for the content. I removed all my small primordia formations : / when starting my second ever flush

With or without is usually not an issue. You don’t want huge clumps of stem/ aborts on your cake when flushing as it may induce bacteria, mold or wet rot. When it comes to the smaller mushrooms though don’t even worry about it. You can dunk with them on the cake still. I haven’t ran into any trouble doing so, so far.

Dunking the cake wont disturb the pre existing pins?

how to you avoid contamination while dunking since everything is in open air. I opened my tub once and it got contaminated. I also have my tub automated so im not sure how to dunk the cake without messing with that equipment in there

[@GoombaGrows]

You unfortunately are always taking a risk when dunking. The water you use can induce contamination as well as the open air conditions. Honestly though if your bin gets contaminated after a dunk there was most likely already contamination somewhere in there and the dunking just made it spread more. I have only ever had 1 bin become completely contaminated after a dunk and there was no saving it. But I also find that it is 100% necessary to dunk if you want more flushes.

[@rochelyandnatasha]

What is an abort? have you been able to make that video?

[@GoombaGrows]

Sadly I have been trying to create a website for goomba grows and that has heavily delayed the video production. When going into creating it I had no idea how much time and effort was going to be needed to get it completed. It is still on the list of videos to make and it is high on the priority list as I believe it is something that every mycologist will experience and it might throw you off at first. Dont worry though, aborts are 100% normal and you more than likely will see them in all of your grows. There is varying reasons for a mushroom to abort but a lot of the time it will come down to conditions. Make sure your humidity is right, and there is enough nutrients for the mushrooms along with the humidity. Often they will abort for no reason at all simply to give more energy to other more thriving fruits.

Personally I do 12-24 hours. I have seen different arguments on how long and what calculations to do to find the perfect time. I skip all of that and keep it simple.

Two hours was enough

[@theeastman9136]

Thank you for the method but the music is terrible; breaks the concentration.😖

[@curtisavery2109]

I do wish people wouldn't play crap music when it's not needed. Ruins what would be an interesting video.

[@GoombaGrows]

It’s too bad isn’t it

[@gaki2028]

Music with lyrics for sure but music without lyrics is fine

Thought the tune was cool. Awsome videos bro​@@GoombaGrows

[@Azazel5986]

Not to be negative Nancy but your choice in music sucks

[@GoombaGrows]

Simply an opinion, others may not agree. Most of the music on my KZbin is free though as I don’t have rights to any music I really listen too.

[@PNNYRFACE]

The music really adds nothing to your video At all Actually quickly going to another channel because of it

[@GoombaGrows]

That’s awesome! Glad you are exploring the realm of KZbin. Plenty of other creators deserve a view. Hopefully you can find a channel that fits all your needs. Maybe try a music channel if that’s what you are so worried about?

END THE FED. Gold IS money. Good video, terrible music!

[@GoombaGrows]

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with the music side of it, it’s hard to find good free music! I’m looking into purchasing some that’s better for the future :)

Why not use boiled water to dunk instead of tap water?

[@GoombaGrows]

@@dedwitey you absolutely can do that! It might give you a higher chance of getting no contamination. For me though it is hard to boil water and let it cool for dunking when I have 4+ bins that need to be dunked. Sometimes I’d rather take the small risk. For someone with just one or two bins I think it’s 100% worth boiling the water first

[@BigCshow]

Don’t use tap water!!!! That’s the main problem. Use distilled
