Monotub colonization
    #18989692 - 10/17/13 07:00 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So i spawned to bulk about five days ago, and i have polyfill stuffed in the holes of my monotub pretty damn tight. But i peeked under this blanket i have wrapped around it and there is no condensation on the sides of the monotub, but i do see small signs of colonization on the surface of the sub around the edges. Is this normal? i just figured there would be some condensation on the sides, i wouldnt want it to get too dry in there.

You're supposed to tape up the holes while consolidting, not put polyfill in them, that's not until after they're consolidated and you want to fruit it. I wouldn't worry about the condensation, mine normally doesn't begin to form much until closer to being fully colonized.

I read that you could use polyfill, you just had to stuff all the holes tight as F@#$ but that info could be wrong and/or outdated?

Duck tape the holes untill its a sheet of white. Then fruit it by

stuffing top holes super loose and bottom holes normal

If you stack your tubs you don't have that GE from the lid not fitting.
It is just as good stuffing them tight with poly, I've seen a lot of experienced growers who stack their tubs do this.

Get it rrrrreal tight though, I've seen many posts complaining about their tubs drying out this way.

I disagree with this and it's not good info. You really want a high

co2 environment for colonization. No matter how tight you stuff them

they will breath more and will affect colonize times and fruiting.

Stacking tubs does not make them breath less through the lids either.

Just tape the holes over like everyone else does and should

    #18991419 - 10/17/13 03:14 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

when you have the weight of several other tubs on top of your tub it pushes the lid down and hinders GE.

edit: if you don't let any of the co2 out you will suffocate your myc.
it may not matter if you dunk your grains and have the tub colonized in 4 days.
Some of my tubs with too tight-fitting lids stalls after a week till 10 days.
I then remove the tape from one of the holes and stuff that poly in there.

Apparently having the holes stuffed really tight still provides for a high co2 environment.

As I tried to quick-edit into my previous post:

my tubs stall after 7-10 days when the lid fits too good.

If your tub is done in 4-6 days this may not matter.
Mine are not that quick.

Does this mean it's bad practice, or just that YOU would choose not to do it.

Because the latter is irrelevant.

You dont even do it??? Why would you risk "stuffing tightly" with pollyfill

that i'm sure you stuff every hole evenly cause you can measure it perfect.

The correct way it to tape the holes while colonizing and stuff when fruiting.
