Great tek! Should I still use foil over my lids when pcing or does this eliminate the need for it?

---

I always use foil, for me it eliminates any question of:

"Why didn't my agar solidify?"

"My grains were dry when I loaded the jar why is there extra moisture?"

I use 1 single layer of Easy Felt
which is about half the thickness of Vendor sold SFD's,
Being its a little thinner I have seen water drip into the jar
when the filter became saturated.

This could be a disaster in
the same manner as vendor sold SFD's if you were to "pop" the
weight off early and as the pressure releases the jar sucks
extra moisture and water in through the filter, regardless
if its a vendor sold or Easy Felt SFD, That's why I always use
foil and let the PC cool naturally, keeps all the ratio's and
eliminates one more variable into the already myriad of questions
for every PC cycle every grow and every dish.

More often then not as n00bs we tend to look in the wrong place when issues arise.

So why not make it easy on ourselves and reduce the variables so we can deduce efficiently

So if I have foil on my lids and allow for proper cool down of the pc,
I can start looking for the vector/problem where I should be.



Thanks for all the kind words you guys
I'm glad you enjoyed the Tek

Can a monotub colonize okay with the holes covered with just one piece of felt? Would that be allowing too much FAE? I suppose one could put a double piece of felt...

Let me know what you think Shroomery!

I haven't seen anyone else use this method,
Boris uses the filters for GE for his big ol mono treys in his GH but its just for GE

I use them for everything.

heres my setup

hopefully you can glean some good info from it

I will have my mono tek up in a few,

in short, what I do is this:

1. spawn to bulk in your mono tub and close the lid.

2. place your tub in your fav location to colonize for 10 days and consolidate for 5-8 days

3. Introduce to fruiting conditions.


and watch the show




since the Easy Disks are on the inside you can tape any holes you want, I dont ever mess with it anymore.


The trick is to have tonnes of FAE in the beginning
then when you see pins raise your RH and drop the FAE, and give them plenty of water.

but as you can tell from that PES-A growlog, not much attention was needed. Almost a complete neglect.

Great idea!  I look forward to trying this & hope to say goodbye to tyvek and polyfill.  Both are a bit of a hassle to me.

  I was just getting ready to make new lids. Great idea.

Glad you like it, credit goes to Boris, He introduced me to the material.
I just expanded the idea a lil bit and helped bring it out into the open.
