How to Grow Mushrooms: Dub Tub Method
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This method to grow mushrooms is one of my long time favorites because it was my first bulk method after learning BRF cakes. I used to use a cheese shredder to shred 4 BRF cakes until i learned how to use quart of rye grain spawn and it worked every time.
In this video i could have gotten a bigger harvest if i would have used a sawdust substrate like Agrocybe aegerita prefers but as you can see they still tolerate the coco coir.

Gotta say, that is HELL of a flush. For each two monotubs I've done lol...I'm stoked to give this a shot.
Lightly pack down your substrate before adding the top layer, pack a little tighter around the edges to help guard against side pins. Very lightly pack the top layer down after its applied
Clear instructions and well filmed. Simple method. Perfect. Thankyou.

1 quart of spawn to 3 quarts of substrate. No misting until fruiting, and the mist is only applied to the inside of the top tub to keep humidity up.

@@wilkiedilkieagree 100%. In fact most tek methods don’t have enough fae which equals subpar results. I always try to replicate Mother Nature conditions for mushrooms as well as cannabis. Think about it: mushrooms grow outdoors, not confined in a box indoors. I create those same conditions regardless of the tek. High humidity, fresh O2 and temps similar to Mother Nature ie: high 70s day low 70s night. Led lighting on timers for day. Room humidity between 65-80%. Not everyone has a dedicated room for this but if you can you are in full control of the ambient environment. Even doing cakes in sgfc have huge yields when done in these rooms. No matter what tek you do, always try to mimic the outdoor environment and maintaining those conditions. 😉

So I took the top off my box to check and see how colonized the substrate was. Lots of healthy mycelium growth but the lid is starting to build up condensation. Is that fine or should I not push the lid down all the way??
So do you think a pound of substrate would be equal to 3 quarts?

@@astbrnrd I'm a beginner too, but thinking about it, I'd presume that field capacity wouldn't be the same after the mycelium has started fruiting, and especially after harvesting. Mushrooms are 90% water, so if you've just harvested a bunch of mushrooms, that means the water that *was* in your substrate is now inside all those mushrooms. So if you want more mushrooms (i.e., another flush/harvest), you'll need to introduce much more water back into the substrate (i.e., rehydrate it by dunking/soaking). I hope this makes sense! 😊

If you use pop corn as a grain spawn you won’t even need a pressure cooker. Just steam bath the jars of corn for 2 hours. The substrate is just pasteurized in the bucket with hot water and adding the spawn doesn’t need to be in front of a flow hood. So it is a very easy relaxed method!

The lid is not a tight seal even when clicked into place. It is fine how it is for 6-10 days during colonization. You can add a couple holes to the lid and cover with tape and that’s fine too.
