Inflatable Monotub Review

[@nightone9720]

Another great feature I love about the inflatable monotubs is that they take up less space if you are traveling or moving. Large plastic tubs take up a lot of space in a uhaul or a car. These inflatable and deflatable tubs make it easy to take them with you and use up less space. Great design from Ashley!!!

[@thesmokingrooster8791]

Thay say you can't teach an old dog tricks, (Im 60) but after watching your videos I had the confidence to start my own grows, here I am now 2 years later with many grows under my belt, all successes thanks to your videos, you are a great teacher brother!! You Rock. Thank you.

[@chicofromph33nix64]

I just turned 40 and I'm 6 months into growing my own.. I've been pretty successful but had some contamination kick my butt too. But it's all good, it's part of the learning experience/process. Live and learn. My mother is 69 and I got her into growing too. She used to think mushrooms were bad, but now she loves taking micro doses.

[@chrisclyde4490]

I love reading comments like this. I just got into growing mushrooms because my father wanted to learn and he knew that I could teach him if I learned it. I ended up getting hooked lol. I haven't gotten a successful harvest yet but I have some gt's pinning now!! I had 2 shoe boxes of starry night but I think I got contamination in one of them. But no worries I will not give up

[@joshbradbury7481]

This is awesome I just got the 2 pack an the boomer shroomer shirt!! Yall rock thanks friend!!

I'm in the midst of using her inflatable monotub right now on my 1st grow. It's well made. I am having a bit of an issue with gnats getting in through the sides that aren't velcro-ed down. The only other downside is that once you add your substrate, you can't move the tub easily, as the the bottom will not hold the weight when moving. It bows down, making the substrate at the top separating apart and not a solid bottom. I believe I can remedy that with picking it up, while sliding a flat sturdy item under to move it. I'm also using a plastic tote on another grow. It's colonizing faster, but they are different strains, so I can't judge on that. I hope it works out on this grow. I'm thinking of taping down the sides to help keep little bugs from getting in. I love the design, so I can't wait to see how this goes! I love Boomer Shroomer's channel as well. She's such a cheerful person and fun to watch her videos!

[@smoothpotato957]

My advice is to just try to combat the fungus gnats, I grow Cannabis as well and hate dealing with the fungus gnats at any capacity, all they do is cause problems and increase risk of contamination

[@cambodianbreastmilk2980]

Put yellow sticky traps in your monotub from the start of your grow and you've got to be really proactive whenever you get gnats. I've just had them recently and was in there all the time killing them myself and I've got rid of them now. Also check out nemotodes they work too.

[@hopatcongjoe]

Try shot glasses with 1/4 inch of apple cider vinegar around where it will not spill to attract and drown the gnats.

[@mattb6646]

You could probably find some velcro tape to add to the sides, that way you can still easily flap air daily when fruiting.

[@mattb6646]

​​@@hopatcongjoethat works great, squirt a little dish soap in there too. I cover the top with seranwrap and rubberband it and poke a toothpick size hole in the middle. Keeps them from getting back out

[@TekGriffon]

I didn't even know it had the drain plug before I bought a pair. My spawn bags are colonizing and I've been reading about the whole process of growing shrooms. The rehdryating of the substrate was the only part I was really concerned about. Knowing the drain plug is there just took any last remaining stress away. Thanks for showing me!

I'm with you on that! She was the first myco grow channel I came across & her monotub & start to finish videos were what made me realize how simple this can be.

[@AnxiousStacker]

Ashley really is awesome. She is the first channel I ever watched and she helped a lot in the sense of it not being so intimidating. Love her energy. That being said I live on a limited income so it just wasn't feasible to not just make my own. Great review for a great girl.

The ground isn’t solid like a Walmart tub therefore my batch had an earthquake when I moved it and failed. Some Tupperware in a Walmart tub did wonders compared to boomer shroomer tub I wasted money on. I even tried to use solid cardboard underneath it to attempt to keep the base in tact. Only place I can grow is living room and I have cats. I feel like this tub is also more prone for contamination as it’s not as secure as listed above

[@DEeMONsworld]

Ok for the raw beginner who can't use a drill. Truth be told, with cubes, black liners, holes up and down, no holes etc. doesn't make much difference. critical is clean room, proper humidity and temps, FAE. and careful attention. recently ,like this last week, did an experiment, using plastic totes of various sizes, some with black bottoms some not, some with holes some without, all are fully colonized and getting hyphal knots at almost exactly the same rate. 12 days, 8 tubs ranging from a few liters to 24 liters. Technique is cheap, the mycelium will teach you quickly.

[@patoconnor2006]

I like how the myco community is friendly.

[@jonbiz6223]

I shop with Ashley and she is awesome. I have the tub and it has been great. Solidly made, easy to use. Also her dry substrate has been the best for me. And I can’t forget the ultra fast shipping. I would recommend BoomerShroomer to anyone interested in learning about mycology. Thanks for the video! Good stuff

The tub worked great for me! But EVERY All in one bag I’ve used has contaminated for some reason. I’ve tried 6 all in ones with 6 failures. And 6 tubs and success with all 6 tubs. Good luck, let me know how the bags did. Side note, my very first tub flush was HUGE! Over a h.p dried!

Great idea and design especially since you can fold it up when not needed which is something that monotub can't do . This alone makes up for any shortfalls like that people have to find out about and vocalize negative about ......I think Ashley has something great it's too bad this design is already being ripped off by others completely....but that's how it goes these days ...business as usual 🙄

Bought 2. First was fantastic. Second came with a free gift 🙂. Love all the resources/tools I can get. After my first flush, I'm to vested in it now to quit. Quite addicting...

@Eli Rivera so to grow shrooms you’re required to support a KZbin creator that makes overpriced merchandise?

[@fifthtyp3]

@@jeremiahbullfrog9288Pedantic and wrong. If there's smoke it's an incomplete combustion, then it's burning, not melting. If you're burning a hole with a soup can you're producing a lot of volatiles. Which I imagine will also happen with the reversed hole saw (smoking). Hence why 'melting' wasn't used in my response. Careful melting doesn't produce many as these products were thermal formed anyways, so they're made for that (thermoplastics) . But your method was too crude to be apt and suitable for what this materials heat range was made for, or for what we consider melting. I'm well aware of the micro-plastics produced from grinding, but a deburring tool is an edged blade that swivels; its a manual cutting tool, not a grinder. Still produces a small amount, but so does any type of cut on plastic

If saving $50 over 2 hours is REALLY that impressive, maybe get a better job or don't grow FOR a job?
