Monotubs in corner/against wall

Seems like this has affected the performance of my tubs. Even with a fan on in the room and the tubs dialed in properly it seems like they've suffered. Anyone have similar experiences? Did things get better if you moved the tubs away from the corner of the room?

I have no experience with this but maybe fae is cut down since 2 sides of the monotub are blocked.

Up against an interior or exterior wall?
Exterior walls are susceptible to temperature swings and moisture seepage depending on your geographic location and R value of insulation in the wall.

Temperature swings would not affect performance in a bad way.
In nature the temps swings at night...the mushrooms do not complain.
They will grow a little slower in colder temps....thats about it....

Unless you consider "speed" to factor into performance. OP did not elaborate.

Yes, a tropical species (assuming we're talking about P. cubensis).
Please see my mention of, "depending on your geographic location."

Even if you did, it would not be "bad", just not to your liking.....

Your geographical location would have nothing to do with temperature swings, as every place on earth gets cooler at night.
And I did assume tropical species.....98% of this forum is cube related....so unless they specify, I assume cube.

We really need to know what the OP meant by """" affected the performance of my tubs""""

I mean they look like shit. I could tell some are going to abort. I normally get at least 4 oz first flush from MS and these just look unhealthy and skinny etc. looks like the flush is gonna be maybe 2 oz. I understand ms is ms but these don't even look healthy. I turned my fan on medium to help with FAE now but I'm also thinking it could be they aren't getting enough light in the corner of the room. The only light they're getting is the ceiling light which is like one regular 40 watt household light. PESA by the way.

Them looking a certain way would have nothing to do with temperature fluctuations....
You should have the correct light(6500K Daylight) on a 12/12....
Got pics?

I could take some. I got a question for you. Do you rotate your tubs a lot? I know supposedly they say mushies don't grow towards the light but 100% of the time I notice them leaning towards wherever the light source is. If the light is mainly on one side of the tubs they seem to lean all the way against the substrate to move in the direction of the light

They might, but light is not telling them which way to grow.....gravity does that.
They will usually always grow opposite of gravity....even in complete darkness.

Yes plants have this as well, but will still grow toward the light. Gravity does only tells them to grow up, but the the light will change the direction every time IME
I have tubs stacked like you and T5's going up the wall longways and any other cube but PE will almost always grow toward the lights

They grow towards the light because they are deriving energy from it.....
But yea, I was just clarifying.....

I need to interject something quick:
Colder temps are ok.
But large temp swings will reduce humidity and increase condensation. This can reduce performance.
As for the OP's issue, I would just move the next set of tubs away from the corner and see if they pick back up.
