Monotub, why holes? * 1
    #13085982 - 08/22/10 10:53 AM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Does a monotub REALLY need holes? I've read that some people cover the holes during incubation, and some fan their monotub during the fruiting stage. If I decided to cover the holes am I risking perilous CO2 buildup?

What is the purpose of the holes in the monotub? I would like to know before I drill holes in my pretty tub. Thanks.

Can't get mushrooms without fresh air. It's that easy.



Surely fresh air can be delivered by fanning, with no hole drilling required? Or is fresh air required for colonization too?

if you constantly open the lid or top of your monotub to fan it you are opening yourself to almost certain contamination. the holes are there to provide fresh air without risking the sterility of your tub.




Are you sure about this? A fully colonized substrate should resist contamination just like a cake shouldn't it?

Ok thanks for your responses. I will be drilling some holes tonight.
