Mono Tub Preparation Guide

Transform your mushroom cultivation experience with our easy-to-follow Mono Tub preparation guide. Perfect for beginners and seasoned growers alike, this step-by-step process will help you create an ideal environment for your mushrooms to thrive.

Required Materials:

• 54-Quart Sterilized Tub
• 2-Inch Step Bit
• Gloves
• Mask
• 70% Alcohol & Mist Bottle
• Dawn Dish Soap
• Paper Towels

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Create Air Exchange Holes
Using the 2-inch step bit, drill 6 holes in your tub—2 on the long side and 1 on the short side, positioned about 6-7 inches from the bottom. 

Step 2: Clean and Sanitize  
Thoroughly clean your tub with Dawn dish soap, then dry it with a paper towel. Next, lightly mist the interior with 70% alcohol to sanitize. then cover the holes with micropore tape.

Step 3: Prepare Your Spawn  
Gently break apart your colonized grain bags and substrate. Make sure your spawn is at 100% colonization, then wait 4-5 days after to ensure all grain is colonized. Add 2-3 bags (3 pounds each) of colonized grain spawn into the substrate bag. Seal it tightly with a pinch or rubber band, then mix everything together thoroughly.

Step 4: Fill the Tub  
Transfer the mixed contents into the tub. Use a clean metal spatula to gently pack it down, ensuring all grooves are filled for even growth.

Step 5: Set It and Forget It!
Position your tub in an environment with good air exchange (thanks to the FAE ports) and maintain a temperature of 72-75°F with humidity levels between 30-50%. This setup creates an ideal habitat for your mushrooms. Expect pinning (the first signs of growth) within 10-21 days, depending on the variety. No need for additional misting or fanning—the FAE ports will handle fresh air, and your substrate will remain perfectly moist.

Get ready to enjoy a successful mushroom harvest with minimal effort!
