Monotubs without fanning?
    #16089077 - 04/14/12 02:23 PM (1 year, 1 month ago)

I'm starting another mono grow, and had always had great sucess in the past fanning and misting.  Recently, I have been wantin to explore the method in which the tub is sealed from start to finish.  From what I know, you just apply Saran wrap around the edges of the lid after full colonization, then apply very loose poly stuffing to the tubs holes, leave a ceiling fan on low in the room and just wait till harvest. 

Is this correct?  I'm just afraid of poor FAE leading to contams and poor fruiting.  Any help would be fantastic!

I use a small desk fan in my room on 24/7.
It works great for FAE w/ extremely loose polyfil.

You just have to experiment w/ fan speed, location & poly density.

Thanks, I'm probably overestimating the complexity :confused:.  I'll keep the loose poly in mind, it'll just be convenient to not worry about misting or fanning.  Worst case scenario I open one up to mist if it loses humidity.

I use a fan as well, occassionally i hand fan,but what is the point of a mono if it isnt somewhat automated? haha... I keep my fan on 3, keep it about 10 feet away from tub and have it blow back and forth, sometimes crossing the path of where the tub is,never had a problem with it and always keeping poly fill really loose...
