Hey Ashley, in the past you built and automated monotub. Do to still use it or did you scrap it? If you still use it have you noticed a difference between your automated monotub method vs the manual monotub?
I did use it for awhile but ended up stopping it because of my time lapses. I find it easier to control the humidity by just spraying down the tub. But I haven’t done any comparisons to really know which it better.
@@BoomerShroomer I've had mine going for a bit now and its a good idea but seems to be to better for a big operation when you have a lab and other mycology stuff to work on or if you're leaving home for a few days but I don't find it as fun. I also agree it's easier to control the humidity by keeping any eye on it and it's really fun to just give them the attention and learn without all the gadgets. Maybe it's just preference but after trying it out I prefer just keeping an eye on them instead of set it and forget it.
@@BoomerShroomer hey Ash, can one use the mushroom root trimmings for spawning? Or something useful to propagate the spores one is growing? Thx great vids-puttin' 'em to practice 👍✌🖖
@@lanceferguson7159 yeah you could and you could dry them out and eat them.
Excellent video! Very informative! Do you know if we harvest the mushrooms by snipping the ends and leaving the rooting section in the substrate, if it will make another fruiting body?
I've seen a bunch of videos about growing mushrooms, from lots of different channels and sourcers, but this one is the most complete one I've ever seen. Thank you a lot for your effort in sharing your knowledge!
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your comment! 🍄❤️🍄
Bommer is a very good teacher she also brings in much good information via comments from other pro mushroom folks comments best resource on the Tube ima ..Hey Ashley can i use boiled well water or?
@@kralljazz yes
By far.
Noooo lie!!
Small tip: Get a hairdresser spray bottle. They create insanely fine micro droplets of water and recreate an after thunderstorm like environment for the mushrooms. You can spray directly on the Myc and get a very balanced layer of droplets over the whole thing
That’s a great tip!
@@BoomerShroomer Great video btw
@@eggvs3368 I bought several! Thanks! lol
They're called Flairosol (I think it stands for Fake+Aerosol). I just got two for growing, but I've been playing with them for fun 😅
@@SalmanRavoof I got a few and they work pretty well!
I can't wait to grow! I just wish you guys sold the spore bag lol
i recommend a dental mirror or a mirror on a telescoping wand so that you can look under the cap from above to see if the veils are broken.
Great idea!! I am going to order one!
you guys know that tons of oldhead growers prefer to let their flushes create a nice canopy? It seems like a newbie thing to worry about the freaking veils breaking all the time. It's not that big of a deal, certainly not enough to warrant the use of mirrors and whatever. The worst that happens is you get a slight mess on the sides of the tub maybe. I don't understand why I always see these comments about muh veils like it's anything other than a matter of preference.
@@rustyshackleford3433 Ive just noticed that if it spores on new pins then they stop growing. Thats why I pick them before the veil breaks. Hopefully next go I can get better genetics and don't have to worry about this as much. Learning as I go.
@@BoomerShroomer if you have pins growing right next to sporating mature fruits chances are those pins weren't going anywhere anyway. Aborts are to be expected in even the most perfect conditions and with the best genetics. The idea that spores cause the mycelium to revert back to a vegetative state is largely unfounded and in all the time I've grown I've never seen it happen. It doesn't even make sense from an evolutionary perspective. Why would any organism stop trying to reproduce? Relax, you're doing fine.
@@rustyshackleford3433 Yea I have to agree, actually I know for a fact I've had new pins starting that got sporilated pretty heavily, AND I poured a couple water bottles over it, stuck the whole tub in the dark/cold shelves I have in the corner of my basement for 12-18 hours, poured the water off into a watering can to later be used in my gardens and the tote goes right back on the shelves in my veg room! Usually those ones will be the first to start back up (if they do, obviously all don't) after like 4-5 days (genetics depending) and the full flush comming on by like day 10 at the latest
This absolutely fascinates me, I've watched this at least six times in the last year and still I'm enjoying it like all my favourite guides and documentaries. You're very knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about this. I can't believe how much I've learned from your videos, I can't wait to apply your information to my own endeavours in this area 🙂🙏
Just received your monotub kit. Thank you so much for added bonus stuff. Looks so much better than working with rubbermaid or plastic.
Your contribution and enthusiasm are contagious, Ashley. Thank so much for sharing you awesome knowledge.
Thank you! 😊
Just finished watching a WM video that you were a part of (Q&A with PGT and Boomer). I'm really blown away on just how close the community is. I have been watching the various videos on mycology and the personalities on these TH-cam videos (Growing) are awesome. Great information and so much more interesting than anything on prime time tv! Thanks Ashley, you are a big part of my getting started with mycology! Your informationals are excellent！
I have watched so many videos about growing mushrooms, and this video is the best one i have watched. It showed me what i did wrong during my last grow and showed me a few new things.
Awesome! Reach out to me on Instagram if you have any more questions!
Definitely the best day-to-day instructional video I've come across so far, lots of great information!
Thank you!! 👽🍄🍄
Given me more confidence, something to digest and learn from. I was already wafting, with a post office note pad, still am. Thanks again.
I am so glad you're here! Thank you tons for all the help.
love the simple yet informative video's Ashley puts out
Thank you for being such a great teacher. I embarked on this journey in early March and since I've came across your channel you have given me all the confidence and education to be able to medicate myself naturally along with my cannabis regiment.
Mush love 🍄
That’s amazing! Thank you! 🍄❤️🍄
do you have a trusted site for mushroom spores?
Learned more here watching 1 video than weeks of reading. You’ve simplified the whole process so well. Thank you for sharing.😌🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful! I am working on a start to finish videos that shows everything! I'm almost done. Been taking footage for more than 7 month!
OMG a video that makes mushroom growing accessible and understandable. Thank you for your knowledge and experience and for making a video that is not an advert to sell products.
Ashley... this is an awesome video!! Looks like you have fun and have a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing with us!
You are so welcome!
You make the whole process seem easy. You are patient and attentive to your personal myco colony. Great share! I now feel more confident delving into this hobbie. Ideal environment and custom medium you built. Perfect set up for a beginner/noob like me. Thank you
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@jimmypee8404 are they actually not very good?
@@BoomerShroomer I just started my first bag of Golden Teachers so I need all the help I can get. What are u using to sterilize everything, like what is the mix ratio of the spray.... or do u dilute it at all? Also I've heard that I can use just straight Perlite as a base medium if I can't find anything else to grow them in? Any kind of pointers to get me in the right direction will be so much appreciated, thank u for taking the time to read my comment and hopefully I hear back from u. Thank u again!
@@rygygardens This is probably way too late, but the spray is 70% iso alcohol. Boomer Shroomer says not to use perlite, and personally I agree with her. I'd use coir (since it's golden teachers especially), vermiculite and gypsum for the substrate.
Absolutely love your attitude.I’ve found it to be pleasantly upbeat positive and refreshing. It is such a breath of fresh air. Especially in this negative (dare I say) toxic world we live in these days. Thank you for your videos taking the time to show us what to do and avoiding costly errors and I am the king of errors holding the title strong 5 yrs and running lol.
Thank you again,
your the best
Your videos are hands down the most detailed and informative on youtube. Thank you for such great video. Mine are going great because of you :)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. ❤️🍄❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. 🙏🏾🍄✨
You are so welcome!
The corner on my second spawn bag is still going slow but still steady. The other bag that went into the tub was the one that initially was stalling and needed a second mix. It exploded with growth after that so I think I'll do two mixes going forward. When I put it in the tub I may have partaken in some medical treats and got paranoid about the field capacity but 2 days later its almost completely white on top and I can see tons of these little white crystals starting to poke upwards.
Also side note on clean rooms, I have a trick I picked up from doing construction a long time ago. Take aspray bottle like the one you have and mist around the room top to bottom. The water helps knock down all the particles or hairs in the air. Then mist the floor and gently sweep it or swiffer it.
Awesome!!! Sounds like it’s going perfect!! 😍😍
Thank you Ashley for your videos. They are so well made and make the most sense. I have a amazing project and I keep referring back to your videos primarily. Thanks!
So glad you are finding them useful! Thank you! ❤️
A great way to inspect the veil is to use an inspection mirror. This enables you to look at the underside before picking. Love your videos!! I am a total newbie and follow your advice. Instead of plucking why not use trimming scissors? Also, Awesome info about not letting the veil break and spores dropping, thus preventing pin growth!!!
great vid. two things i would recommend though is waiting until completely dry before cutting stems. it will cause less bruising, also don't mist unless mycelium is completely dry on top... to much resting water on top can carry bacteria that can turn to trich real quick. The colonized substrate should hold plenty enough water throughout it for the initial first flush, so i wouldn't recommend until you are trying to get a second or third flush before you start misting (unless you live in a dry hot place and substrate gets extremely dry).
Thanks
Yep, if using a casing layer, there should be plenty of moisture for at least a couple of good flushes and added moisture promotes contaminates, especially for beginners.
You are correct in what you're saying about misting, except that trychoderma is a mold, not bacteria. She should be more worried about perniciosa adding that much water, and fanning is just literally creating a vortex of all the potential contaminants floating about in the room.
1.) Correct field capacity. 2.Perfect your GE for colonization and consolidation (plugs are fine, if you must. 3.) Dial in your optimum FAE for fruiting (density of polyfil less at the top) so as to maintain proper humidity and allowing CO2 to escape below.
@@jimmypee8404 lol you didn't get what I said. You harvest by twist and pull method, to have very limited bruising. Then dry with the dirt that is still attached to mushroom at base of stem. Once dry then cut that part off. If you do that it really limits the bruising.
This girl is doing a great service for humanity.
i´ve learned so much out of this video! Thank you a lot Ashley for putting your knowledge out! happy growing ;)
You are great 😊. Super informative and it seems like you don’t take it insanely seriously like a lot of other people do on here that are growing mushrooms. You have a fun attitude. I like it. You have a happy voice with good information so I’m in !! I subscribed and turned on notifications so I’ll be looking out for more vids. Love your take on one of my many hobbies 🤘🏼 🤘🏼🍄 Keep on Shroomin’ Boomer !!!
Thank you!! That was such a nice comment! 😊😊
Thank you for sharing your process, More fanning, more indirect moisture, and you Will increase your fruiting, but otherwise beautifully done! 😁😁
Thanks! I will try next time!
Awesome video. You have given me the confidence to grow for the first time
Those are beautiful!! Thank you for the amount of effort you put into your TH-cam and IG content!!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
I just learned a new trick to help with drying (I call it my ghetto dehydrator) after a few days of air drying my shrooms were bendy but that's as dry as they'd get so I put them in a gallon ziplock bag with a damprid from the dollar store and the next day they were super dry and brittle! I didn't even need to chop them up in the food processor! Just a pinch and they burst into tiny pieces!
This is the best video i have seen for learning how to grow shrooms...
Perfection👌🏾
Thanks so much!
I agree!!!
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for. Thank you Ashley!
You're so welcome! Thank you!
This is the best guide I’ve seen by far. Good work!
Wow, thanks! Been working on a more completed start to finish video and I almost have all the footage.
Finally put my first bag into its tub today and I had to stop and smell the mycelium and wow that did smell good! For reals try it if you're reading this. My other bag has one corner left so maybe another 2 or 3 days for the second tub.
Sweet!! Getting close!
I'm at the exact same stage thanks to this video
Wow...like wow you are so detailed and informative without skipping anything, you are going to be popular!
Thank you so much 😊
learned so much... thanks.. bouncing back from quite an unsuccessful first flush.. YOU'RE AWESOME
Thank you!
Thanks for letting us see how you do it that was informative better than the others I've seen.i thinking time to do it so good. Thanks again
Thank you so much for making these videos.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
And i like how you explained every detail thanks for that 🙏🌹
You’re welcome 😊
the look of love for your shrooms while your fanning them is great 😀
I love your teachings! Excited to try growing in a few days and begin my journey with earth's sacred fruits, ty for sharing your tips and love for fungi
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for these great Videos!!! I noticed you added a light to the lid. How often do you turn it on? Would you also consider adding a fan that can turn on automatically twice a day for a couple minutes?
Ashely is awesome. She is quick to reply to my question and I’m excited to follow her method.
Thank you!
@@BoomerShroomer no thank you for making it look easy.
Supplies are almost complete to start my new mycology research. I Can’t wait.
@@mikea6747 yay! That's exciting! Keep me updated on your journey!
You're a very good teacher. You make it all seem so easy.
I appreciate that!
Just want to say thank you for your effort in making these videos, you have helped my new hobby tremendously. Oh and you are super cute 😘
Loved this video, I learned a lot! Thanks fancy mammal
Thank you!
A wet towel makes a great replacement for the lid. It lets a ton of air through, it humidifies the air as it passes through, and it still allows light through as long as it's not too dark a fabric.
Also holds tons of potential contams
@@fungdark8270 lol 😂 that’s true
Pressure cook towel
Love it. Lots of help this is just what I needed. First time fruiting and need to figure out my techniques!
Awesome, good luck!
You're by far the best teacher
Hi, Ashley! Question about when you harvest: If you accidentally get a lot of mycelium when you pull a mushroom out, can you separate it from the base/foot of the mushroom and put it back into the tub - maybe even in the hole it was pulled from?
I was wondering that too!
There’s no reply to this question, and it was the only question I had. Did you ever find an answer to your question?
I like the plug idea, gonna have to give that a try! Enjoyed the video
Thank you!
Im learning how to do this. This is one of the best videos. Thank you 👌😁💯
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Where can I get the plugs?
Thank you so much.Now I see the mistakes I made .
You're welcome 😊
Just preordered your mono tub!!!! Can’t wait!
Thank you! I should have them in a few weeks! So close.
These are great videos. Thanks for making them!
Thank you for such a nice comment! 😊
When you sanitise it doesn't look like you use much or cover all the areas? Am I just paranoid?
No! It’s good to be paranoid! Be so sterile! I wiped everything down before I started the video and that was my second go around.
I wish I was as smart as you
You are!! 😊😊
Sim...
Wow...simp
*same
Do you need help
Very creative video :-) thank u for the amazing time lapse in between days
Thank you! 🍄❤️🍄
Hi Ashley, your video is amazing! Thanks for sharing... Do you recommend to use humus in the substrate?
Where in GODS name do you get “plastic plugs”? 😊 that’s great! 💖💖💖

Hi🙂, very good explained,and she is lovely person, I love her and the way she is dedicated in teaching and sharing the knowledge with community.
So nice of you! Thank you for your comment!
And they're more potent if the veil hasn't dropped
Have you tested this? I read about this and was wondering if it was really true! Thanks!!
Yeah I was wondering too . If you find out let me know
Have also heard you should harvest before veil breaks. I might do it at the earliest sign of breaking but idk how often I have to check it in order to catch it
@@94jmh as much as you can! They grow fast!
Not 100% true. They stop producing psilocybin once the veil pops, meaning as they growafter the veil breaks they ar less potent BY WEIGHT. They are actually the most potent pretty much as the veil pops. But, the difference in potency before and after the veil breaking is 100% un-noticeable.
To reduce the CO2 very drastically, you can use an aquarium pump and an air stone. This is usually done by oxygenating the water in an aquarium so the fish can breathe.
You can put this stone in bottles filled with water and thus clean the air of microbes and dust as they get stuck in the water. The outflowing air is free of microbes and very humid. This air is fed into the fruit box with a hose. The continuous moist and cleaned air flow blows the CO2 out completely.
Um das CO2 sehr drastisch zu reduzieren, können Sie eine Aquarienpumpe und einen Luftstein verwenden. Dies geschieht normalerweise durch Sauerstoffanreicherung des Wassers in einen Aquarium, damit die Fische atmen können.
Sie können diesen Stein in mit Wasser gefüllte Flaschen legen und so die Luft von Mikroben und Staub reinigen, da diese im Wasser stecken bleiben. Die ausströmende Luft ist frei von Mikroben und sehr feucht. Diese Luft wird mit einem Schlauch in die Fruchtbox geleitet. Der kontinuierliche feuchte und gereinigte Luftstrom bläst das CO2 vollständig heraus
Thanks!
I use a bubbler and ccharcoal filled bottle and a small fan
Liner tek is handy being that hole placement isn’t dire if it’s a little lower than substrate as it still will get sublime fae it seems. I like that. Just got my substrate from you but gotta wait for my spawn bag to colonize and she will be on her way! Thanks for doing what you do!! Super informative, clear, and well done. Appreciate all your hard work and keep it up!
Also what’s your avg yield from the tub? I’ve heard standard is 6 oz + if all goes smoothly and you continue to fruit successfully but would like your feedback from experience as well! Thanks!
Thank you!
I usually get about an oz per flush of dried mushrooms. Sometimes more sometimes less.
Thank you. Great informative video. I’ve learned so much, almost like I was there 👍😁
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Awesome vid and walkthrough! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Really enjoy your videos Ashley thanks for all the knowledge. What is your favorite mushy?
she changed my life!
You're an amazing teacher 😊 Thank you !
I've been told you shouldn't spray the pins. But it's clearly seems to work for you.
So much information out there and I feel like most of it is personal preference. Cracking video thanks for the upload.
Check out my start to finish video. I have updated all of my findings and tek.
@@BoomerShroomer will do.
Awesome demo
Best tutorial ever. I watch this a few times before I start my path to our sacred fruits. She will tech you if you absorb the process and steps. I have proof 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for this video

Monotub reverb sounds great!
Sweet! Thank you!
Thanks you, is a very good exposition.
Really excellent specimens.
Curious about the particular strain.
Obviously it's a cube... But they are soo hardy and healthy.
Wow you have replied to every comment! Your amazing. Great videos too 🙏
Thank you!
This is my favorite tutorial thusfar, take a bow! Great job, and thank you!
Yay! Thank you! I really appreciate your comment! Mush love! 🍄❤️🍄
Thank you author for your work, very useful and necessary information, peace to you)
Hey Ashley I love you I love the way you grow mushrooms and explain it you're the greatest you've taught me a lot thank you this is John from North Little Rock Arkansas
Thank you so much!
I luv this Magic teacher, she is a alien, hugz from Brazil 🇧🇷
Great video Ashley. Love the plug idea will definitely start using them. Could you tell me the size of the holes you have on the side of your tub please?
Thank you! ! 1 inch holes.
Hi Ashley! I was wondering, could your mushrooms be saved if you got your heat pad late? I didn’t think it would be this cold this time of year where I live and I was very wrong and they are not growing as fast as they should. I just purchased a heat pad and it should be here in a few days, do you think I could save them even with the delay? Thank you for all that you do !!
Thanks Ashley!
Thank you. This was a massive help.
Glad it helped! Thank you!
thanks ashley, luv your videos, very helpful. x
Thank you!
"How perfect, the veil is just starting to break" yep that's mushrooms for ya ;)
Wow learned a lot . I love how you teach
Very good video, it taught me alot important things about knowing when the exact time for introducing fruiting conditions and not misting directly on the mujshrooms for the first 2 days b/c it breaks it apart, hurting itsomeway. Thanks Ashley for the very informative, enlightening demonstration. You mushrooms look really good with nice yiels. Would u ever want to trade spore tips? I have a few exotic strains, plus 6 more which brings it to 8 differemt strains. If u want the name's let me know.
Hi Ashley and thanks for all the help! I got your plugs and it's so much easier than polyfil. What type of light strip do you use and where did you get it?
Take care VisionShop
Great video just started my first grow
Awesome!
Nice 1 Ashley ❤🍄
Thanks!
fan directly with the lid girl :) so much airflow like this only about 5 sec per tube
all your knowledge is immensely appreciated as well as your simple to follow demonstrations, your channel has been my go to as this is my first grow. just finished fanning my mushrooms after I saw they began pinning and were ready for fae. when I opened the tub I noticed there was a lot of condensation on the lid. I carefully removed it and tapped the side of the lid on a towel to get as much off. is there risk of contamination at all if the droplets fall? I know you mentioned it's more sterile at this point and was thinking of wiping it down but wanted to be as cautious as possible.
Hi thanks for your great video I’m new and trying to grew mushrooms for the first time I ordered your inflatable mono tub kit ! Do you provide extra light to help the fruiting process or is natural room light sufficient?
