First Monotub. Saran Wrap question

I'm currently doing my first monotub. I wrapped the entire tub in saran wrap. Is this too much? Will there be enough gas exchange? Thanks for your help.

I used the original monotub tek. At least it says its the original. And I used the How to Pasteurize Straw/Poo Pillowcase method. I have a 72q tub. 2 Holes on each side. Laid about 2 inches of straw and poo then a layer of crumbled cakes and another inch of straw and poo. I have some growth. But seems a little slow. Although there is more everyday. Then I completely wrapped it up with saran wrap. Thanks for youe response.

I don't recall that being in the tek? (a link would help) I thought most people just put the tub in a bag to colonize.

LOL. No its not in the tek. But I didnt feel like going to the store for a big enough trash bag. Im wondering if it makes a difference though and if I should take off the saran wrap and get a trash bag?

yes- saran wrap will suffocate your sub

Don't use plastic wrap, use a trash bag as stated above.
Just as I was told when I asked the same question, myc needs to breath just like you and I.
GL!

Thanks guys. My wife says the same thing. "If you'd just do what I say". I'll change it out. Thanks again.
