This tub was introduced to fruiting conditions way back on the 4th of January. Finally on it's way to a nice canopy. Some pics after opening tub for the first time before & immediately after I sprinkled my dry vermiculite onto the surface, and then now, hopefully just a few days away from a canopy.



Here are the details about the tub (ingredients, spawn ratio, ingredient ratios, tub size, sub depth, etc. - it's a coir/verm/coffee/gyspum tub). Spawn used was WBS. Have no idea what "strain", lost track a long time ago, and as subject indicates it is MS.



And the photos:



Day FC's were introduced (before & after dry vermiculite was sprinkled on...in the "before" photo on the left I had already applied the dry verm layer to the outer edge of the substrate before remembering I hadn't taken the photo yet):







Hopefully just a few days away from a canopy:

Will update with harvest photos later

with no holes, how do you administer fruiting conditions? just fanning?

Quote from a 3+ year old thread when I first posted a grow with my "no hole" monotub setup (thread is here: Just Some Mushroom Porn - "No Hole" Monotub(s))

I don't use holes in my tubs anymore. I leave the lid cracked about a half an inch during the day, and close it up at night. When I say I "leave the lid cracked" I mean that instead of putting the lid on the tub so it's closed, I move the lid off center by about a half an inch.



The way my lighting is set up, is the bulb above each tub is about 6 inches away. This creates warmer air inside the tub than outside the tub, which in turn creates convection currents within the tub. The warmer air exits through the 1/2" opening on one side, and as it exits, pulls fresh air in through the 1/2" opening on the opposite site. So during the day it gets, more or less, constant fresh air while still maintaining a very high RH (RH is controlled by the size of the gap created by having the lid offcenter...which I can easily make larger or smaller by simply moving the lid closer to or farther from being completely closed).



I've stopped modifying my tubs for a couple of reasons, the first being that once I've modified them with holes and whatever else, they become kind of single purpose, in that I can't really use them as regular tubs anymore for things like storage. Second, they look weird as hell and are hard to explain to people asking why I've got tubs with holes all over the place. Third, I've found great success not putting holes in them...in fact, much more success than I had while putting holes in them. Fourth, moving a lid back and forth is a lot easier than messing with "polyfill density". What I mean is, it's hard to accurately measure from one grow to the next "how dense the polyfill was" the last time when you had a good grow. The offcenter lid method is easily measurable...in that you literally measure how far from centered the lid is, and it's easily repeatable.



I give a good fanning just before I seal the tubs up at night. I mist whenever I see that things are dry or on their way to approaching being dry.

Glad to see you back, SGFC. I look forward to doing a no hole tub later this year.

I didn't want to do mono tub because I didn't have the tools to cut such big holes but this looks really promising, keep em coming!



Post Extras:



Looking good! Great grow. Now that I've seen what you are capable of with a normal tub I'm even more excited to see where the weird ones go!



Gotta say though, the redundancy of your name makes me just a tiny bit insane

keep up the good growing!



Post Extras:



Looks wonderful! Definitely trying out a tub with no vent holes next time!



Post Extras:







What a haul, eh?



Post Extras:



Well the results speak for themselves. Beautiful stuff. I will be doing this method next grow.

That is super old school. I always wonder how people used to grow, way back when. I've seen really old ads for mushroom grow kits but I wonder if they worked.

Maybe I should browse some mega old shroomery threads, see some ancient teks.
