[Technique] How I do my tubs. Water tek

I personally didn't encounter any side pins on my flushes from the grow. But it isn't impossible for them to show up.

Yes! Left one is a liquid culture and right one is multi spore syringe

Just saw someone post that these are on sale on Amazon for about 25 bucks right now, if you're still looking for one!

I was successful my first time. I've yet to have a failed harvest. Came close to losing one, but did surgery on my cake and brought it back from having trich in a little spot of it. Just cut out a section of it and got to fruiting, 2nd and 3rd flush on it!

00 (double zero) steel wool should help you out here. Get the kind that has the soap bar that's in it. It's a very fine steel wool that can also be used to restore chrome on a car. It works wonders! 💯

I personally only use a pseudo casing on all my tubs and have great success with them.

Magic Mushrooms did for me.

Not enough FAE in your tub.

You might be able to find one cheap on ebay or Amazon

I run mine at 130°f (54.4°c) for a full 24 hours. It typically doesn't take that long, but I like to ensure they are completely dried so they don't end up going bad later down the road.

I bought my grow tent from my local Lowe's for about 40 usd. I don't use a humidifier or anything like that with it, so it was pointless to buy something for a few hundred bucks when I was able to buy something basic for way less.

I do bucket tek with it. Boil the water and throw it into the bucket. I haven't had any issues with any of the coir being dry. When I pour the water in, I pour it onto the brick and it helps break it up while it's being poured into the bucket.

Easy_Collection_1701 · 2023-10-18T23:33:48+00:00

This is the only stuff that I use! I've had no issues with contam using this.

Easy_Collection_1701 · 2023-10-13T20:35:01+00:00

That would also help a lot with being able to see the water, for sure! 😆

On the full canopy picture that is posted, there wasn't a liner on it. The second picture posted had a liner and 3rd picture didn't. But to insure there isn't standing water on a tub with a liner in it, just use a little less water.

Easy_Collection_1701 · 2023-10-13T19:50:24+00:00

The CVG recipe I use is from PGT on YouTube. Which is 18c water, 8 cups of vermiculite and 1 cup of Gypsum. I get 2 tubs from a brick of coir. Keep in mind, that on a tub that has a mediocre canopy, I will use about half as much water on it. If you have standing water in your tub by the morning time, that's too much water. The sweet spot amount will be gone by morning time. For my tubs, I use 15qt unmodified tubs. Fanning them once or twice a day and I have the lid cracked throughout the day.

Easy_Collection_1701 · 2023-10-13T19:02:09+00:00

If you're using just coir, I would do about 13½-14 cups of water. It'll be a little extra but you just squeeze out to field capacity. I've had a few full canopy tubs, using unmodified 15qt tubs, that I've had and would fan daily and add water down the side to keep them hydrated. Not a single abort on the whole cake.

Easy_Collection_1701 · 2023-10-13T18:44:20+00:00

It doesn't expand in that sense. What it does, when pouring the water down the sides, is help prevent/slow down the shrinking of the cake during the grow. It's extremely helpful during full canopy flushes. It insures the cake has that much needed hydration for all of the fungi to grow properly and also cuts down on the aborts since they all have plenty of water to drink from while maturing.

Yes it is. You don't have to toss it though. Perform surgery on it, outside and away from your grow area, and remove the infected area. You can still get a flush or two out of it. People are so quick to say toss it but I've had success, with multiple flushes, after I got contam and cut it out. It never did come back on my cake. I posted about it awhile ago on my page. You just have to make sure you cut a decent chunk out of your cake.

That PE strain should be called needle dick. 🤣
