It's not....air flows in the opposite direction in a monotub, if properly dialed in..
RR has admitted to never using a monotub before so....

I put a tea candle in my mini mino. The smoke passes by the top holes with a little bit of disturbance. It is sucked in the bottom hole I pulled the polyfil from to the point my phone cam can't even see it. What part of a mono would cause it to work the opposite of a sgfc, houses, insect holes and everything else I can think of? Air currents in the room? The bottom holes are exposed to them to just like a house. I'm not experienced enough to argue cultivation but warm air goes up. The warm air rising would create a difference in pressure making a vacuum pulling fresh air in the bottom. Openings are at the top of greenhouses to vent hot air. roofs have vents at the top to let warm air escape and pull in cool air from the bottom near the gutters/soffit vents. In our 150 year old farm house if you opened all the windows in the evening on a calm day you could feel a slight breeze coming in the bottom windows. My dad showed me so I knew why to not blow a fan in my window. I could smoke 1 hitters in front of it. In my farm house now the plastic on the bottom windows bows in. The top windows look vacuum sealed. Toilets flush because the water causes a positive pressure in the bowl and a vacuum in the pipe. a fan blowing in a room doesnt focus on the top holes. I don't see how myc generating heat in a semi contained environment would somehow work opposite in monos.

Notice I said "If properly dialed in"....In a monotub, when you have the bottom holes stuffed tightly, and the top holes stuffed loosely, air can easily pass in thru the top holes, which forces the air in the tub out the bottom holes.
Air will always enter in the path of least resistance.....and since we should have a fan oscillating in the room with the monotubs, air is constantly being pushed into the top holes.....so the remaining air has no choice but to come out the bottom.

So are we all on the same page now?
*Does everyone realize there's no blanket of co2 in monotub or SGFC for that matter. The bottom holes do not expel co2 they expel mixed air and fresh air comes in the top holes if stuffed properly. This is passive FAE. Fanning is not FAE or a substitute for FAE.*
If we could have you sign and date.
You'll receive a formal written warning if you say co2 exits bottom holes again.

My farm house has a draft that blows through the attic. It is the least sealed and air flows around the house just like air would a mono or anything else in a room with a fan. I can look outside in places and see the yard below. Snow has blown/ been sucked in last year. I do not feel a draft coming in under the attic door. If I open it and let go it will be sucked closed and actually slam shut. The bedroom door for than rokm will pull open/in if not latched. The leaky double basement door and windows with lath and plastic still have obvious breezes coming in around crappy frames. Electrical outlets on the first floor have breezes coming in them. cd air blows in the spaces between the window frame and trim. Things follow the path of least resistance. Not enter it. I wish I had or someone had an IR camera to take photos. I can not believe a mono tub somehow works the exact opposit of everything else when it comes to the chimney and stacking effect.

that explains how it works. The inside of your house is to a monotub as the outside is to the inside of your home. The wind blows on your house and air comes in where it can. Obviously your house is not a balloon so in some places you'll have air being pushed out. The spots where it happens will change as the wind blows. But obviously some of your house will have tighter and looser holes for the air to go through. The inside of your house may as well be the outside as far as the monotub is concerned because it sees air currents from the home and acts the same way.
You try to run a SGFC with no/minimal currents so that it can because of the perlite, holes, and light.
