i just found half gallon mason jars at price chopper... i didnt know they made jars this big.. i can fit 4 of em in my pc... then i used one fully collonized quart jar, G2G... talk about stepping it up a notch..
The only possible issue is the time it takes to achieve full colonization. The longer it takes the more opportunities for contams to get a toehold. Keep us informed on how it goes.
Yeah maybe nextime try 2 colonized crumbled quarts then shake after the G2G transfer. That could go reeeaaally quick.

The half gallon jars are all i use now... i can take one half gallon jar and g2g 6 others... the 6 are fully colonized in a week.. then i use one half gallon jar to colonize 2 mono tubs of poop which take another week, then case... I have been stacking mono tubes now for 3 weeks i have about 16, and i pick anywhere from half an oz a day - 6 oz's a week... dry... Maybe if your all lucky... ill post a pic of my lab.
please do, i would love to see it. i am getting a hard on just waiting.. ^_^
Man, that's a big lab. Those deep substrates really get some monsters.

Im on a 12/12 light with a 1000 watt high pressure sodium bulb... might be a lil over kill... but i have the light in use anyway.. so might as well take up the extra space with totes...

so, that doesnt hurt...
did i win the contest?
DavieK,
We haven't even gotten the contest off the ground yet, but I guess your determination to to be a "Market Force" grower has come to volusion,.....? Or, certainly a long way from the small pins you were producing this past spring!
If you are growing for market, I would invest in a perimeter alarm, and enter a contest with SafeTouch , or another security firm to keep those NYS Troopers off your lawn at night! lol

I asked myself. Why does he need that much light? Then I saw what else was in the room. ^_^ Got my vote!
you should not vote till all the pics are in -_- ^_^ :rolleyes:
Awesome Davie! Put 'em up in that other thread .. or maybe wait till you have more shrooms to show, you should have some before months end. Very Nice!
^_^ I swear I'm not biased.
hey guys, this is the 1st time i have been able, to jump on the forum.
WOW davie K, i just blew my wad...lol nice set up.. :mellow:
Back from a long trip out west. Wow. Those are some great tubs and a great setup. What do they look like today?
im soon 2 post another pick... now i have tub walls all around... so, i need to expand, tho alot of the tubs are on or past their third flush... so ima be re-useing alot of them..... its hard 2 keep track, if i dont have my sharpie w/ me... ima have 2 start dating the flushes so i can remember. 3 weeks left on the first 5 widows... then i harvest 5 every fallowing week, non stop....
4ever the One

Have you thought about going to meijer or somewhere and getting martha stewart portable closets to turn into a fruiting chamber? Its much easier than stacking tubs, also space & user friendly.

i havnt thought about it... do they have lids?
My FC is translucent not transparent and I don't have any problems.

Thanks for the idea... ima stick with my tubs... i've already bought them, and their working fine for me.. That just seems a little 2 easy for contamination... i mean once it gets in... everythings done.. uposed 2 the tubs... if it hits one... then ones done, the way i do it... with all the molds growing ontop of the dirt in my lab... i take the tub into a room with my hepa filter and give it a good lysol'n b4 i open it 2 pick... that would be a little 2 bulky 2 do so w/... but thanks
