Monotub fae question

Hey guys i was just wondering your personal preference as to whether you like to open up your tub and fan or just keep it closed with indirect fan running.
I only ask because i am able to dial my tubs in well using polyfill and run a fan on a schedule and just wondered if theres even a need to open up my tubs and manually fan them every day if my fan running seems to do the job. Any opinions on what you guys prefer to do?

I never fan my monos. Sort of defeats the purpose for me.

I run my monotubs with the bottom holes stuffed tight and the top holes very loose with a fan about 4 or 5 feet away blowing away from the tub. Once the tub starts to pin I leave one of the top holes completely open. You want to give it as much FAE as possible without drying out the tub. It's kind of a balancing act. You have to learn how to read the condensation on the walls of the tub and adjust you Fae accordingly to give it as much as you can without drying it out

So are the bottom holes tight or loose?

I've always fanned my tubs, seems to help evap surface water and make for a better pinset
You can just set and forget with a oscillating fan in the room and do like these guys said. Stuff bottom holes tighter than the top holes.
Try both see what you like? I say if you can baby ur tubs then do so.

Once again I don't buy into the whole "stuffing bottom holes tight as shit" for the simple reason we are trying to provide as much fae as possible while still keeping a fairly saturated environment.
Different RH levels in homes and locations, size of tubs, substrate to open space ratio inside the tub, natural air currents, density of substrates, depth of substrate, even possibly type of substrate will all affect evaporation and humidity levels inside your tub.
Stuffing tightly is a good place to start but each individual tub should be treated as such and adjusted accordingly.

Thanks guys i really appreciate the info. It seems like the more patient i become and the more i neglect my tubs, the better off they end up as far as fruiting goes.
When i introduce to fae i baby in the beginning then back off and have learned keeping the fan going and lid on the humidity levels seem to stay put and the myc flushes way better imo. Maybe its all my imagination though
Once again thanks for the input guts always appreciated!

It doesn't hurt to fan them a little if you want even if you're not planning to mist them, especially if you're trying to get them to pin.
