thats alot of shrooms! Mail me a couple lol
Hey guys, as the title says, I have an 11' x 11' grow room at my disposal. I have 3 grows under my belt and I wanted to step it up and try my hand at some bulk. My question is what's the best set up to go with for overall yield. Would it be mono tubs throughout the room, or putting shelving up and doing a bunch of cakes? Thanks for the suggestions.
Btw, I'm going with amazonians and penis envy
thats alot of shrooms! Mail me a couple lol

Mono tubs galore!! I never bothered with cakes, went straight into bulk substrate and never looked back! I once got a hp off of 2 tubs after all the flushes were done.. with that ammount of space your place will stink of fungus so bad you'll be eating dinner in the back yard to avoid the smell LOL... Happy Shroomin..

depends if you want trays with tubs on them or a wooden rectangle holding your goodies. I have heard that straw and H poo is the best to go with I take it you want weight. Try some straw grows and then take it up. I grow normally in tubs when I am running but I have a room that is nothing but mushies. I am still using popcorn as a media if I could get Hpoo easy I would go that route for the weight. PE is a basterd to grow because it take 2 weeks to pin then another 2 weeks to fruit but you can get 150 grams wet out of 1 tub.
As usual, depends.
No cakes, that's silly, but, how many tubs can you put in it?
How many shelves can you build?
Is the room 100% sealed, and you can control full room humidity, or will you be putting up some walls of plastic and creating multiple fruiting chambers?
what about using part of it for a clean room? A 2 stage clean zone that leads into a corner setup with a glove wall will give you a hell of a work space for those large volume grain-to-grain transfers.
How is the temperature? you want 80ish for myc, but 70ish for fruiting, so it really make noi sense to keep them together.
How many jars you want going at the same time?
Do you have epxerience with those strains?
I like amazonians for the wow factor, ie: those full spread flower like towering buggers are awsome, but I prefer something like Equadorian or Mexi-cub or Golden teacher for production.
On the other hand, while I LOVE PE for personal use, I could never get the quanitities for sharable use. Also, it is so much more powerful than the standard cube, so other people tend to OD (not deadly, lotsa fun, just a bit more than expected) on it.
When all done, what do you expect to sell it for?

Thanks for the replies guys! So the room in the basement is raised about 6 inches off of the ground. The owners before my friend were islamic and used this for a prayer room. The exact dimensions are 11 x 11 x 5.7 feet. I don't have experience with these two strains in particular. I'm looking for the best for production. Last time I ran golden teachers, b plus, and treasure coast.
Right now the room isnt sealed, I'm considering sealing it up though. I live near Philly, and they have stables for the horses they use in the city so manure is readily available; although I have 0 experience with it. Temps are roughly high 70s but I can control the environment.
Although I don't want to sound cliche, I'm just looking to find out and understand what method can get me the biggest bang for my space. Ideally I'd be selling these for 11-12 hundred a lb to my festy friends. So if anyone has a few pointers to help me out itd be awesome. Just to increase speed im starting up some liquid culture. Thank you yet again for any help and understanding with this![]()
mono tubs yield great numbers. with those numbers and that much room i bet you could make over 10000 in one run
Right now I'm Shooting up 6 quart bags of bulk with my LC and waiting for that to colonize. You guys think I'd use the whole six in a monotub? Since I can control the temp and humidity of the whole room would it be easier to have it set to 92 humidity and leave the top of the mono off?
