Dark monotubs and light
    #13999832 - 02/21/11 07:43 AM (13 years, 12 days ago)

I can only get hold of completely dark black monotubs of the size I want. I have seen dark monotubs before with successful grows, but I am struggling to understand how the shrooms get enough light if no light passes into the tub? Should I forego the lid of the tub, and put a translucent bag over the top so that light can enter? I know light is a pinning trigger, so its necessary.

A bit of a silly question but yeah..


On a related note, what are the weights of the coir bricks you get in America? Nobody ever measures in weight, but the size of the ones in my country might be a bit different...

Reading around, it seems that the only option is a tub with at LEAST a clear lid. I guess I will have to return my opaque tubs and get clear ones (although the only clear ones are fucking small, like 2 square feet).

Haha, nice setup you got there! What did you use to cut through the plastic so nicely?

razor blade and a lighter.  cut slowly and do several runs making a line to follow when you are actually cutting through the material
