So, i presume you mist heavily between flushes, to replenish the moisture content?

Thanks for sharing this! Im assuming this can be done with just a casing layer mono? From what Ive seen everyone spawns to bulk in their mono's. Never seen ayone just do a casing layer in them.

Total!

Haven't seen you around in a long time.
I just pour a small pitcher around the sides of my substrate and mist the hell out of the top.

a casing layer sets on top of your substrate and is only about a 1/4" thick... why would you only use a casing layer to make a monotub?

Stealth is a main factor. Said tub is small enough to hide, yet large enough to produce some nice sized fruits. My friend is doing his first casing tonight, he liked the monotub idea so instead of spawning to bulk he'd just be casing

a casing is a non nutritious layer of peatmoss and verm used to form a microclimate to help pins form at the surface of the substrate. 
its not something you use as a substrate. 
do you mean hes just doing a small tray, like he spawned to some substrate or he cased some brf cakes?
Im just trying to find out what you mean cus your using the terminology of "casing" incorrectly.

Im sorry I used casing rather loosely, my friend has BRF cakes, he wants to crumble them in a monotub and apply a casing layer on top, opposed to spawning the BRF to bulk sub like many people do. He is aware that Monotubs are used in bulk growing, but If he just crumbled and cased in a mono and left as is he doesnt see why it wouldnt work.

Because it would not retain moisture that well.
It would work, you would just have to mist and fan a lot.

I get what your saying. Why would I need to fan more if there would be an issue with moisture/humidity? Haha

Well you mist the substrate to replace lost moisture, I guess you would not really need to fan it, but with the lid off and you being right there, a few swings of the lid won't hurt a thing.

Do not try to use a monotub as a fruiting chamber for your crumbled brf casing....
Just build a sgfc......
For god's sake put it in a ziploc bag.....don't put it in a mono.... Newbs these days...I tell ya
Monos work to humidify themselves from lost/evaporated moisture trapped inside the tub from the bulk sub.
Your casing will not do this it needs its own humidification either a GH or a a SGFC would be the way to go
The physics that are surrounding the monotub only work the way they are designed too. Your plan will NOT work....

so once youve harvested your first flush... you pour about a pint around the edges and DIRECTLY spray the shit out of the substrate?

If this is regarding what I said, than yes, except for the part about directly spraying it. I mist heavily the same way you would mist anything else that produces mushrooms 
And honestly I rarely pour a pitcher of water around the sides anymore either. I just mist it heavy once a day, get a decent second flush and make room for the next tub.
