sunlight - outdoor monotub question
    #10085950 - 04/01/09 08:52 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

i know DIRECT sunlight harms mycelium. would a monotub work outside with a type cover (eg. a sheet, light paint etc) prove effective but safe to the myc? could it get it's own FAE with the breeze? the lid could have a painted plexiglass window to block direct sun. basic monotubs have polyfill air filters in the holes, is this enough to keep outdoor pests at bay? if not, what methods keep New England based shroom pests at bay?

i, of course, do not intend on growing like this but i MUST know! thanks

The thing to worry about here would be humidity imo.

monotubs provide their own humidity to a point. but this problem is fixed with daily misting and care

Put it in a shaded spot so it doesnt get direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will heat your monotub or any fruiting chamber for that matter. if its shaded but getting light then its fine.

A few minutes of direct sunlight is fine, and is recomended :-)

i dont see humidity being affected much in a monotub. Maybe a shotgun would if the outisde air was really dry but IDK
