You can grow a variety of mushrooms in a monotub, including Oyster, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Chestnut, King Oyster, and Psilocybe cubensis (active/psychedelic) species. Almost all kinds can be grown in our monotubs.

No. The monotub includes pre-installed filter patches and a gasket lid, elminating the need for drilling or cutting.

1. Prepare the monotub: Sanitize the tub, drill air holes, and install the plastic liner.

2. Mix spawn and substrate: In a clean environment, combine the colonized grain spawn and pasteurized substrate. Mix thoroughly and flatten the top surface.

3. Incubate: Seal the lid and cover the air holes. Store the tub in a dark place at 70–78°F for 10–21 days until the mycelium completely colonizes the surface.

4. Initiate fruiting: Once fully colonized, expose the monotub to indirect light on a 12-hour cycle and increase fresh air exchange by adjusting the filters.

5. Maintain and harvest: Mist the walls of the tub daily and fan for air exchange. Harvest when the mushroom cap veils begin to tear. 

Yes, we accept almost all crypto payments. Please email us for payment instructions.

For the majority of our kits, the incubation and colonization phases typically span a period of 3 to 4 weeks. The initial mushroom harvest can be anticipated during the 4th or 5th week, with subsequent "flushes" or harvests occurring approximately weekly for an additional period of 4 to 5 weeks.

You can reuse a monotub pretty much indefinitely, instead of constantly buying and throwing away bags.

Bags also need external climate regulation; like you said, they're usually moved to a separate fruiting room, or at least a SGFC. Meanwhile, a monotub has a self-contained climate, you can put it pretty much anywhere.

Bags are used in commercial scale farms because when you're working with that kind of volume, bags are way easier to pack with substrate and sterilize in bulk than monotubs are.

More surface area means more potential fruiting.

Oyster mushroom and lions mane grow in clusters and less surface area reduces contamination exposure when it comes to blocks.

Some people grow thier actives in small cakes similar to a grow block but fully exposed to maximize potential fruits.
