Grower's Select Mushroom Monotub Fruiting Chamber with Filter Disks and Liner

I finally got a chance to order a monotub and sense my previous experience had led me to find contamination a very hard obstacle in mycology I was excited but still unsure. When i unboxed it I was apparent that this was way better than anything id used before. The bin was sturdy and the placement of the vent holes was perfect for letting fresh air in and carbon dioxide out as well as keeping the inside humidity perfect for healthy shrooms. The micron filters were easy to pop on as well as the monotub itelf with a lid, base, filter patches, liners and two pieces that clipped the top and bottom toghter tightly keeping contamination out and humidity in so it seemed to perform better than expected. Isopropal alcohol sprayed on the inside and outside easy and wiped down with paper towel made quick work of sanitizing everything. I noticed then how the clips were fully removable and thus were easily cleaned where if it had been sone kind of hinge there would have been cracks were mold or anything could squeeze into but this tub was able to be cleaned completely. The tub was more than a fruiting chamber, inoculation went smothly on the 2 five grain bags and then put inside the monotub showed me the versatility of this monotub that was cheaper than most and still seemed superior to anything inflatable. Yet Id never had success so to be sure I contacted myco labs and they went over all my questions with expertise. I wasn't expecting to have this level of customer support! It was then my hopes started to rise and I was determined that I would succeed even if this particular batch of spores and grain didnt work out for some reason knowing the experts had my back made me double down on all my efforts. I had bought the smallest one but was still loving the size. It had more than enough room. Besides I figured at that point this would be perfect to buy 1 or 2 more and have more than just one chance at success i could have a few different kinds of strains in each one and increase my odds of success as well gaining more chances to find a genetically compatible strain with my location. Spores can take awhile to start growing but to my surprise less than a week in i went to let tge bags breathe a little and there it was! A small growth of mycelium and in less than a week! So i put them back in and today marked two weeks and excited i took the pictures posted with my review. If that doesn't say success than what does? Myco labs had brought me from failure to a hudge start with great promise. I'll be getting another tub and some grain jars also from myco labs to go with a culture and with the monotubs im now very confident. Everything has been so much easier and my passion has grown immensely with expert advices and high quality products. Thanks again myco labs! Making mycology that much easier is awesome and i couldn't be happier with my purchase!

For beginners and amateur mycologists, it works very well for small harvest and small batch grows. Very sturdy and easy to clean. I really like this product and recommend it highly

These are awesome! Like so many others I started with my own DYI monotubs / grow boxes, but these are much nicer. The material is quite thick and yet flexible & not at all brittle. The black bottoms cut WAY down on side pins, and they are plenty tall for bigger varieties (I do 8 lb cakes in the 12x12s). The black plugs fit almost a little too tight at first, but over time have become perfect. They do come with a pair of clips to hold the top & bottom together, but they're somewhat loose and tend to pop off pretty easily. Fortunately they're not required as the top & bottom fit together well. The box does come with a liner to try out, but strangely enough my UNlined box performed FAR better than the lined one. Not entirely sure why. As these boxes have a smooth inside, they are VERY easy to clean & disinfect. They're also stackable.

Very well built monotub. Sure you can buy a Sterilite storage container and cut holes but it won’t compare in quality to these tubs. All of the accessories are first class items. Even the shipping box is double layered to protect the contents. I also purchased a medium sized refill kit. Buying the items individually from other sellers would be more expensive. Very pleased with my purchase.

I just love these bins. I have several and will be buying more. They work so well for my mushroom growing, oysters and lion’s mane have done really well in here so far. They stack really nicely. Are VERY solid and great quality. My only critical feedback is the clips that close them aren’t attached, and they often fall off. So I just opt not to use them. They hold moisture in really well- too well, in fact. So you need to make sure you are giving enough fresh air exchange or mold will grow. My mushrooms grow quickly and abundantly.

You could spend less for a DIY monotub if your willing to buy a whole saw and hopefully don't crack the tub and buy filter disk or poly fill. Oh you might need to make more then one tub to get back the investment. Still it won't be as good as this especially for a beginner. Some big advantages are that the inside is completely smooth, no nooks and weird shapes on the inside which makes being sterile much easier and help to create a completely even substrate. The biggest advantage is the clear humidity done. It allows monitoring without opening it up therefore reducing the change of contermination. It is not perfectly clear but enough so to get okay pictures and definitely good enough to see exactly what's happening without opening it. It comes with some plugs for the vent holes to limit fresh air flow for spawning to bulk. I didn't use those myself. Instead I put the included filter disk on and covered those with plastic bag pieces on it with masking tape. This enabled me to change to fruiting conditions without opening up the tub and not having to open it until harvest. It's working out really wel for me.

good & sturdy

Perfect size for growing larger mushrooms, would buy again if needed.

This was an amazing purchase. It's a solid rig and has seen a few flushes so far. I'm going to pick up some more soon. Buy with confidence!

Would have given 5 stars but received the package damaged and was only offered a 15$ refund for a broken product, will not be purchasing again which is unfortunate because I do like the tubs but they would rather lose a customer instead of refunding the sub-par product they sold me.
