I thought this was supposed to be a fish tank, now I can start using it correctly. Thanks North Spore!
Wow what a great video! Seriously 10 out of 10
This is very helpful, thank you very much!
I finally upgraded and built a fully automated Martha Tent. Getting ready for about 100lbs of mushroom and substrate 😅 5 types of Oysters, Hen of the woods, Enoki and even a glow in the dark variety; panellus stipticus.
Such a well produced and informative video. Thanks so much!

Thank god for new!
I would suggest the use of a pipe de-burring tool when cleaning the edges of the drilled holes. Much faster and safer than using a standard razor. Great video!

This was an amazing video! I am still a beginner and am currently trying out your all in one grow bag for the first time ever. There only seem to be short videos related to the all in one bags. I get that it is pretty straight forward but it would be nice if there was longer format video such as this one where you can show a harvest and second flush of the all in one please. Thank you very much for all that you do for us who wouldn’t be able to do this without your help!

Thank you so much! we're proud of this.
The filters are sized in mm, not inches and 1 inch is 25 mm, which I haven't been able to find./ Where do you get them? And can you grow fruiting blocks in the monotub?

We have something called the ShroomTek that might be exactly what you're after. It still involved you doing a bit of work, but much less. All you have to do is inject spores or liquid culture and mushroom can grow right in the bag! Learn more here: northspore.com/collections/all-in-one-grow-bags
Can you guys show us a simpler way without the substrate? Like a ready to grow transferred into a mono
@NorthSpore

Do you mean for breaking up kits and putting them in a monotub? We'd still recommend mixing with substrate - otherwise you can also put fruiting block kits in the monotub without breaking them up 🙂
Most videos talk about misting the inside regularly. Did I miss that here? Did he really just mist with water to rehydrate the second flush and not any time during the first flush?
@NorthSpore

During colonization, if you're materials are hydrated properly, you shouldn't mist as it can introduce contaminants. Misting during fruiting can be a helpful thing to do!
liquid culture is also much cheaper to produce, isn't it ;)
i use unmodified shoeboxes, a lot easier imo.

Oyster mushrooms will not grow in those. To much C02 production. Stunts them.

That's true if you don't add an air exchange system. Check out our Part 2 video to see how you can grow a wider range of species including oyster mushrooms and other species that are CO2 intolerant
Too much work for 1.5.lbs of mushrooms

the flushes will keep coming. That's just the first one- but we all have different capacities for work when it comes to producing food and medicine. Monotubs are one of the easiest techniques for growing mushrooms.

It's really not alot of work and helps mitigate contamination! I learned to wait for pins and only mist the lid with a quality mister distilled water twice to three times a day during fruiting and that's it
