 Can flushes suffer from too much humidity?

So, i have a couple of monos running right now. Doing fine. But Im noticing that the stems and caps have mycelium growing on them. Can this hurt anything at all? Should I open the holes a bit more, loosen polyfill, not mist as much?
They are BLOOWWWING up though. hahaha. Im very happy with the mono tek. Massive amounts of pins, should be an amazing first flush.

Loosen the polyfil and give it more bursts of fresh air (fan more often)

Definitely need more FAE. Loosening the polyfil would be a good idea. How often are you fanning?

^^ What they all said. The mycellium growing up the stipes is a sign for more FAE. =)
What's your RH at?

hahahahaha.
You dont fan monotubs, dude. They are set it and forget it. they manage FAE by passive air exchange.
Thats what I thought it was, but i wanted to check with a few other mycophobes. Pretty much confirmed what I thought. Needs more FAE, which means I need to open the holes up more. They are kind of small to begin with, so yeah. Ill go ahead and do that.
Thanks fellas!

There's nothing wrong with fanning a monotub. Do whatever it takes to give proper air exchange.

Ok. I know that as much FAE as possible without dropping RH too low is ideal. I just was under the assumption that it should basically do it on its own, with the correct size hole/positions for the given tub.
Although, This is the second run with these tubs, and the last ones didnt come out too bad. But I will for sure give them more FAE regardless.
for a 16 gallon tub, what would be good size holes? mine are only about 1.2 inches, if that. Correct positioning and all of that, because they are flushing super hard. What would you suggest, RR?

This.
Once you get it down, you won't have to fan. Until then, give it some air once in a while.

Oh, and I didnt mean that you just NEVER do it. More like, if the tub is built correctly, and the fan is in the room, then they should maintain correct RH and get plenty of FAE.
This is only my second run with a mono, and im running 2 this time instead of one. hahaha. Thats why I was asking.
I appreciate any input you guys can give me. Sorry if Im sounding like a dick. I just pulled a 15 hour shift at work. lol. Im a bit tired and grumpy.

For sure. Like I said, they are flushing super hard, so they are definitely growing well. I was just concerned about too much RH, and if it could affect the growth. Nothing is pooling up. Just seeing mycelium growing on the caps and puffy on the stems, which I thought was indicative super high RH. I dont have a hygrometer yet (on backorder for a really good one), but they are doing fantastic. I heart monotubs. I threw out my cool mist. haha. Screw that thing.

It's from lack of fresh air. There's more to fresh air exchange than just getting the CO2 out.
Also, 'set and forget' is a motto, not a procedure. Some strains require more fresh air than others and you never know until you start fruiting. This is why we 'read' our fruits and then adjust parameters as necessary.

Ok. sweet. excellent explanation. I really appreciate it. That will help me a lot.
If you have a few minutes, could you expound on that a little bit?

So with a monotub would you have extra holes that are taped up and brought into service as needed?

I build my monotubs with extra holes and use all of them.
3 holes at substrate level on the long sides (6 total)
1-2 holes at substrate level on the short sides (2-4 total)
1 hole as high as I can on the short sides (2 total)

Depends on the size. For the most part, it seems like once you get a certain sized tub, filled with a certain amount of substrate, with the right sized holes in the right spot, its almost automatic. lol. Its really cool. I guess it just takes time to get the hang of it. So far, its working great for me. a few hiccups, but nothing detrimental.
