Is there a way to avoid fanning and just "set and forget" when using bubble wrap in monotubs?

Monotubs are supposed to be set and forget. You need to look up the thread how to dial in your tub like a boss by FrankHorrigan

Monotubs, when properly dialed in, won't need much micro-climate supplementation, such as from using Bubble Wrap.
But if you want to use the BW, and not fan, I'd just make sure the top holes have very lightly stuffed poly, or no poly.

Tmethyl do you think it is better to leave the top holes completely open once it starts to fruit?

Leave them open if you can maintain high RH. Lately I find fae a greater trade off to RH once the ponder has formed.

Has anyone ever built a FC using computer fans with an automated timer to control fanning? A very similar application could be used for a misting system. I've seen controllers used for fish aquariums that monitor different environmental factors and turn on/off different pieces of equipment based on temp, pH, ORP, conductivity, etc. I'm sure similar things could be used for this stuff. I've never tried cultivating, or used a controller in that fashion, but I have used one on an aquarium. Makes life realllllly easy.

I'll probably give Oysters a try in a few weeks.

Just looked through that and there's some great info in there. Ill give it a try. I've been using micropore and maybe that's where my problem lies.

If franks dialing in tek doesn't work out I will give this a shot. As a matter of fact ill probably do a side by side to see which works out better for me.

Oh don't worry, I already know the results here :lol:

Dial it in like I write about.

Bubble wrap is for added humidity. A dialed-in monotub holds 95%+ humidity completely effortlessly.

The issue monotubs have is not lack of humidity but rather lack of fresh air exchange. Bubble wrap only serves to smother the substrate.

Since fresh air exchange is the number one pinning trigger, you will want to work on increasing that in your monotub. There is no reason to worry about humidity.

:goodluck:

Thanks frank. I've been having this same problem now for as long as I remember so at one point I just decided to roll with it and I ended up getting tubs that are only tall enough for my sub and my fruits since they give me more room to stack. Now that I'm going to try and get my conditions right with your tek, I'm worried that since the tubs are so short, the FAE from the top holes will still be really close to my sub and end up drying it out/lowering the RH too much. What are your thoughts on this? Will I be okay or should I start over for new bins?

If your walls/sub start drying up, simply stuff your poly a little tighter in the top holes or adjust your fan's speed/orientation.

The best thing about dialed-in monos is, once you learn to mess with the top poly and leave the bottom poly very tight, you can make your myc sing like you've never seen :wink:

Also, a little too much FAE can be made up for with misting once every day or two. Just don't overdo it.
