Burma Monotub, Wbs to damions coir tek

So I really wanted to do a detailed grow log, but I didn't get pics of every step and most of the pics are from my Iphone. But of course I still want to share. Here's one of 4 monotubs all with 5qts Wbs to Damions coir tek. This is my first attempt with coir as I'm a tried and true straw and Poo kind of guy. Seeing all the great results people were having with this tek and the simplicity of the tek I figured I'd give it a shot. So far I'm happy with the results, and will most likely be working with coir from this point forward.

Good job, but your tub is showing serious signs of a lack of FAE.

Yeah i was worried about fae, my last monos i had holes near the top of the tub and near the bottom just above the substrate, this time i just have the bottom holes. I think i'm going to drill a few more holes before my next run.

If anything in my experience i have used a small fan facing the tub and leave it on for an hour then turn it off, repeat a few times a day according to your misting schedule.
It drastically helped with my fae!

You could open it and fan it. Or take out the polyfil. Or drill lots of little holes, a 1/4" hole every two inches. Lots of options.
DON'T point a fan at the tub. Maybe have a small fan on a timer in the room.

I'm just wondering what is wrong with pointing a fan at the tub for a little bit? Wouldn't it be beneficial, as long as the substrate stays humid?

Here' an update on the tubs, actually two of the tubs the other two are a few days behind because I spawned a few days apart. I do fan twice a day because thats all I have time for. there's a small fan in the room pointed AWAY from the tubs running most if not all of the time. I will probably drill a few more holes in the tubs next time. but so far I'm happy with my first attempt with coir. All though poo still has a special place in my heart.

Those look great man, aside from the aparent lack of FAE(can tell from the small caps and twisty stems, sry if this was mentioned, I didnt read the thread)
Poo performs greater than coir everytime IMHO but coir is just so damn easy...

It might just be the camera but your light looks a lil on the red side of the spectrum... If so try getting a 6500k bulb and it should help a lil but Ive seen some good grows using the 2700k to, just no as often...

If he didn't make things worse, he could possibly make things better, sure. But it's like changing lanes while driving, you just want to ease over, not jerk the wheel across three lanes. This guy pointing a fan at this tub would get us the "my tub is dried out" thread in a couple days.
Small, easy, incremental changes are needed. Remove the polyfil. And check the lighting spectrum, Outsmoker is right about that.

Whats the best for light, I've always just used a regular bulb in a lamp in the closet. What kind of light setup do you suggest doc?

Those tubs had so much more potential (great pinset btw)
