Bulk monotub shroom grow.

Here it is. 14 qt jars of wbs knocked up with Cambodian spores. The pc I used is a 23 qt. I got an inch of verm on the bottom of the jars and they are filled 3/4 with wbs. My gettobator you see in the pic is a dark colored rubbermaid tub lined with a sheet and covered with a thick dark colored quilt and kept in a closet with 2 clamp lights about 12 inches away from the tub. I also put 2 big black T-shirts on top of the quilt to attract heat. I got the outside of the tubs temp up to 77F so I figure its about 80F in the tub. The other tubs you see on the left are my fruiting tubs which are 66qt. For my bulk substrate I will be using a mixture of leached horse manure, verm, and worm castings.

Could you put up some more pics of the fruiting tubs?
What's your humidity/air circulation plan?

Here is the exact tek I am using with step by step instructions. You can get the tubs at wall-mart or target. They have 64 and 66 qt tubs. Just get clear ones so the light can get to them when it's time to fruit.OZZ's Cubensis Horse Poo Pictorial - Cannabis Culture Forums

I'm doing a scaled down 45 qt tub from the same tek.
4 litre pooh, 1 litre verm half a cup of gypsum/plaster of paris, some coir to cover surface in bucket + 4 litres of spawn.
Spawned last monday, now fully colonised (the benefit of nice thin even layers), and knotting and reaching for the sky.

Yea I got coco coir to put on the top as well that I forgot to mention. Do you think the gypsum powder will make or break this tek or would I be o.k subbing it with a little extra verm?

Without it you are probably good for one flush, with you can get a few harvests before it goes south...

Wow gypsum powder is that detrimental to have multiple flushes? I had no idea. I need to find somewhere locally to buy some then. I got 3 or 4 weeks til I will need it so it should not be a problem.

I just got plain plaster of paris (that they use for makeing casts) at the pharmacy, its the same thing. It acts as a pH buffer preventing the tub from going acid too easily, our enemies like acidic conditions.

cool. So I will hit my pharmacy up. That's kinda weird they sell plaster for casts at the pharmacy. We got wallgreens and cvs. I hope one of those will sell that shit to me. Stay subscribed to this thread for updates if you would man. Thanks again!
