    Monotubs are the easiest and most cost-effective way to scale up your indoor mushroom grow! They can be used as enclosed beds to house substrate and spawn for top-fruiting mushrooms. Or, they can be used as grow chambers for fruiting blocks and kits.

    Made by Max Yield Bins, this unit is designed with airflow and humidity control, so there’s no need for any high-tech additions. And its compact size makes it ideal for use in almost any location. (Bonus: the top and bottom can be stacked together for easy transport and storage when not in use.)

    Features:

    • Equipped to control airflow circulation and humidity retention
    • Durable, with tight-fitting latches to keep the lid sealed to the base
    • Fit with a custom light-blocking base to prevent mushrooms from growing on the sides or bottom of your bin
    • Holds up to 20 pounds of substrate and 10 pounds of grain
    • Compact with an assembled size of 22.5” L x 15.5” W x 12” H
    • Made in Canada

    Recommended add-ons:

    Self-adhesive filters and black micropore tape are designed to fit over holes on the monotub lid and base. These keep out foreign spores and other contaminants while maintaining humidity and air exchange.

    Monotub FAQs

    Why is the difference between the large and small holes on the monotub?

    Both the large and small holes are for gas exchange. However, given the proximity of the small holes to the substrate, many growers will remove the micropore tape during fruiting to increase oxygen -- especially if the mushroom caps are too small and/or the stems are too thin and stringy. That said, if the mushrooms are growing just fine, many will just leave the micropore tape on (as it protects against contamination.)

    Do I need to use micropore tape on the small holes, or can I just leave them open?

    During colonization, you don't want the small holes open. Covering them with the black micropore tape keeps out contaminants and maintains a higher CO2 level.

    How much coco coir should I use?

    Only a thin layer of coco coir (approx. 1/2 inch) is necessary. Coco coir should only be added once monotub is fully colonized and pins begin to form.

    Cleaning instructions

    We recommend cleaning your monotub between each use to keep all surfaces as sterile as possible.

    • Wipe down all surfaces to remove dirt and spores with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. 
    • Sanitize by spraying with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution inside and out.
    • DO NOT use bleach or abrasives.
