Something I put together most of its as important as the big wing on your civic but it works for me
3 led pod lights Blue 7 lights each 21 LED's total

Holds 6 cakes for optimum efficiency



Temp steady it 74 (thank you central air)
 Humidity maintained at 95%

Pc cooling fan integrated to a timer


Fresh Air Exchange Modal maintains humidity while exchanging filtered air starting with a dual outlet whisper pump into my humidity control modal aided by 2 inline air stones thru positive pressure air displacement




Bypassed heating elements for fast manual air exchanges







Positive Pressure inlet filled with condensation!

Civil: "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Magic, uh... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a monotub?" MagicEngineer "Yes, the way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a monotub, why not do it with some style? Besides, the see-threw plastic construction makes the flux dispersal – LOOK OUT!!!"

The proportions and see thru properties of the monotub design allow for my cat to fit perfectly inside so I can send him back in time to relay messages to my past self thus altering the present however the radiation from the flux is becoming an issue as all his hair fell out
Lights are only on during the day and combines with natural light from a window with the blinds down
Component with all the tubing is the fresh air exchange modal fed by humidity adjustment modal keeps tub at 95% humidity with no manual fanning or misting hair dryer has bypassed heating elements to rapidly exchange air if necessary although I usually don't use it

I apologize.

This thing just needs a rockwell automations panel to control all the devices. Does it get proper phase osmolarity?

I most certainly do appreciate the difficulty of nubbing together a regurgative pearl well and a super-native wingelsprocket. One of the hardest things I've encountered at my job thus far.

You should probably call your city up and have them see if that's up to code in your zoning. Outlets might have to be UL listed for wet locations next to a water source.

So that's about 2 ounces after flushing all 6 cakes....I get triple that usually the first flush on my monotubs using only 6-7 quarts of grains....and that's just the first flush from one tub....

14 dry grams per flush of a cake? Most people dont get 7grams from all the flushes from a single cake. I call BS that would be the best yielding cake ever.

notahacker- That was real nice!
Why don't you do something more productive, like finding a way not to stack your tubs. :P
Bodhisatta, he may be talking about wet weight. I made a back to the future joke this morning but he got the joke and went with it. I think it looks really cool. Would I build one lol ain't nobody got time fo dat! But still give him a break guys.

Average 1/2 oz per flush 6 cakes. 2.3g per cake dry per flush AVERAGE not overly impressive but im getting better and am actually overwhelmed by previous crops as this is not a $ thing for me turning them into chocolates!

Oh. I see. Since you're using jars half the size of most PF Tekkers, that's not shabby.
From what I've read, most people seem to get 2-4 dry grams per cake on 1/2 pints. It's common to get more though, especially after a couple of tries.

It's strange that that box looks different but these memebers both register on the same day and have the same format of their posts with a poll on the end. Both boxes are called a 5000 something or another.

Theres a couple reasons they should not be stacked. But depending on your situation you may haft to.
#1. Sacking tubs make it really hard to fan and mist.
#2. After a few grows, the bottom of your tubs will begin to warp. On top of that you haft to move your tubs to fan and mist. Leading to cracking your substrate when setting it down. If you crack the substrate it becomes very contamination pron.
#3. Once tubs start warping, the lids will as well. This will cause the tubs lid to drip in the center of your substrate. Making it hard to colonize by the time its ready to fruit. This can also lead to contamination.
Cheers

#1. Monotubs are meant to be set and forget...no misting/fanning required.
#2. Get better tubs...this is not that much weight....My tubs have been thru at least 7 grows each...every one just as strong as the day I got them.

Pack your holes tighter.
There is no need for additional water before the first flush, it should contain all it needs to yield every bit of 8 ounces.
Monotubs should be set and forget, until after the first flush at least, this is why we dial them in .

x CiVil x said: Theres a couple reasons they should not be stacked. But depending on your situation you may haft to.
#1. Sacking tubs make it really hard to fan and mist.
#2. After a few grows, the bottom of your tubs will begin to warp. On top of that you haft to move your tubs to fan and mist. Leading to cracking your substrate when setting it down. If you crack the substrate it becomes very contamination pron.
#3. Once tubs start warping, the lids will as well. This will cause the tubs lid to drip in the center of your substrate. Making it hard to colonize by the time its ready to fruit. This can also lead to contamination.
There is no way you have actually tested this, unless you have bought the flimsiest tubs you can find.
My 66qts are stacked 4 high every grow for the last 2 years. They get run every other month on average. Every one of them is perfectly fine.
Also, monos are set-n-forget if they are dialed in, as hacker mentioned. But if you want to mist and fan, moving the tubs a bit to do so is not very hard 
edit: I forgot to mention, the solution for cracking substrates is to place a ring (from a quart jar) underneath each corner of the bottom tub. My tubs are always stacked like this and I never, ever have a crack in my substrate any more.

I guess I've never tested it Frank. You know me to well.... 
You're right, the cheaper the tub, the faster they warp. But all my hefty tubs did it as well after 4 grows the lids would drip in the center of my substrate and cause it not to colonize. They would also bow downward in the shape of the warped lid. Hefty storage solutions aren't cheap tubs to me. Stack your tubs all you want...

If the substrate was spawned in open air, and is now fully colonized and contam resistant...being close to the floor bothers me none...it had it's chance to contam....it chose not to.....Just sayin.
