Monotub Condensation
    #6326296 - 12/02/06 01:56 AM (17 years, 3 months ago)

My Monotub has been going for a day or two and I've go one concern with it. The top was covered wth a layer of saran wrap to keep in umidity but allow for light.

Anyhoo, the humidity is such that drops of condensation are forming on the plastic wrap. My main concern is that these droplets could a) lead to contams or b) hinder growth of fruits. Should i do anything to reduce the humidity (more holes?)or direct the droplets to the side of the container.

IF anymore info like number of hole, casing/spawn, pics, ect would be helpful let me know :smile:Thx

well yeha how many holes and how big are they? are they stuffed with polyfill, or are they just small holes?
are you incubating (to a bulk substrate) at the moment or casing or what?

YEah its late and i was being kinda lazy heh. ITS WBS spawned to manure cased with commercial peat moss mix. In fruiting mode atm. I have 4 half inch holes right above the casing layer and two 1 inch holes at the top. Pollyfill in the holes atm. No pinning yet just patched and cased the other day

YEah I let it incubate a bit folloing casing. I chose to patch so theres nothing showing through atm. Added another large hole at the top. I'll just let it roll and see what happens. Would load some pics but bluetooth from my phone 2comp is being a bitch to say the least.

Appreciate the help

Condensation has nothing to do with humidity. Condensation is caused by a temperature differential between inside and outside your tub. Use plastic or a drip shield to prevent drops from falling on the fruits.
