I love having the honor of being the first to say ... great job sandman !

:bow:

[ez_goin]

Can't get much simpler than that! Thanks for the perfectly illustrated tek.

How about Humidity and temp control??

How about Humidity and temp control??

All you need to do is keep the room at 70-80f, other than that it is 100% self contained. You never open them.

No casing layer?

:)

[sandman]

Nah I dont ever mess with them casing layers. KNock yourself out though it sure wouldn't hurt. Just add one after its colonized.

Seems quite simple ...the 4 holes are enough for proper fae ??? I always hear everyone saying fan fan fan ....I really want to try it this way because of the simplicity. Only 4 holes 3 to 6 inches up 2 on each side?

[Zozo]

ye very simple :eusa_clap

[sandman]

yea the 4 holes are enough. They are wide open so its like they are getting more airflow as compared to a polyfill hole I would imagine. All I know is it works, they dont dry out, and they wont contam if the spawn is good and the pastuerization is good. Really! Dont aim the fan right at the tubs though.

[claykrys]

I have been using your sandbag tek for quite a while now. Guess I will switch to this for my next. Are the yields similar?

[paulport]

well I am glad to see this tek . I was going to do a TIT set up but this answers my question on temp control too. I am using a space on the top shelve of my closet it has louvered doors . It is the only place my nosy little cats cant get at in the house. I have been able to maintain the temp there at 75 and had a sucessful grow using the bag tek there. So to make a long story short the tub should stay the same temp. I wil also ad a small fan up there for air flow

[GreenBarron]

Nicely done.:eusa_clap

[funny1]

Sandman, I've read all your teks and have always been greatly impressed with your innovation and creativity.

You should obtain a copyright on the above graphic it's so damn concise...haha.

In this particular example, however, what were the dimensions of the tubs?

Thanks again for the knowledge and inspiration kind sir!

:rasta: :headbang: :rasta:

[mestophilies]

Dammit Sandman, I just told the woman I wouldn't buy any new tubs for awhile and here you throw out another tek I gotta try out. Thanks for this, agreed with funny1, what size is the tub?

[sandman]

Tub size used in the demo was like 72qt or somewhere close to that. I think they were like $7 at walmart. Kinda pricey but reusable ya know. You can use any size tubs you wish. I would guess anywhere from about 30-40qt being as small as you would want to go. I liked to use the ones that have plenty of air space myself.

when you tape in the bag...are you doing it under the holes you drilled? or are holes above the bag. I couldnt tell by the picture

If you want to get fancy you can fold the excess edges back, right under the holes and tape it there like that so it is very tray-like. Just a few sticks of clear office tape. It is not necessary at all though, as long as the substrate is lower than the holes. The excess sticking up can block some light and cause certain areas around the edges underneath the excess to not grow well, but the rest of the tub will blow up.

Shit I forgot to put on there that you choose the 3-6" based on your planned substrate height. So if you planned a 2 1/2"-3" sub you would put your holes at 3" or just above where the sub would go.
