Microspore tape -VS- PollyFill
    #15740503 - 01/30/12 09:57 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

I have was wondering whether anyone had tried replacing pollyfill with Microspore tape for a monotub?

You Don't want to keep micropore on during fruiting, polyfill for fruiting micropore for colonization


You want good air exchange and evaporation of moisture from your sub to cause pinning and micropore will restrict that more than polyfill

Good luck

I haven't tried it. But there is a reason for that.

Mycropore tape, along with filter disks will do a number on the Free Air Exchange and will result in sad unsatisfied fruits.

I lightly put the polyfil in the monotub holes. This will allow great air exchange and with a fan on the outside blowing, will stir up the air. Tape will stop the breeze.

The point is really to keep humidity in and filter the gas exchange. The more gas exchange the better. Can't get that with tape.

Hope this helped! :awethumb:

I can attest that using micropore tape where I had previously used polyfil led to contaminated grains.

Not your situation specifically, but relevant.

Good luck,

Aren't the hole in micropore TOO LARGE to make an effective contaminant filter, whereas polyfill's gaps are smaller?

Wouldn't that mean MORE FAE and evap than polyfill?


No idea which is better, just saying the logic there seems flawed (may not be - I'm drunk, so who knows?)





I think you have polyfill and micropore confused, micropore has extremely small pores, polyfill can have a range of size openings

I speak from experience anyways, I know when to use micropore and when to use polyfill
