new idea for mono filtration
    #19238774 - 12/06/13 10:24 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So im making me a BRAND NEW tub tonight an all clear one HELLS YEA :sunspots:

Anyway i have always hated having polyfill hanging over inside the tub

So i think im going to get a pleated HVAC air filter you know the 5-10 dollar ones cut it into squares and tape it over the holes instead

I belive this should give adequate FAE and still retain enough humidity without hangng over and causing my shrooms to grow into the poly providing an overall cleaner look

What you guys think?

Might be ok for the bottom holes but I doubt it will provide enough FAE with it over the top holes.

I dunno, maybe :shrug:

I went through a period where I tried different things with monos, poly always worked best. For some of my smaller tubs I sometimes have a few 1/4" holes with no poly and tight poly in the bottoms. It works pretty good that way. You can see them in this pic

You could stuff polyfil in panty hose and reuse it works like a charm. Called poly balls on one these sites.

I'd just use Poly. I've never found anything to work better. Yeah, mushrooms growing into it is a bitch, especially when they knock it out, but whatever. Pick those that do it early.

The title of this thread makes no sense.....we do not filter monotubs.....fruiting is not a sterile process.....some people do not cover the holes of their tubs at all.....

I really like that. May I ask how many holes in contrast to the tub size you'd recommend? I'm currently going to be using a 66qt

thats what this is :wink:

but its much easier to dial in and alot less effort with polyfil.

OP, im sure it will work just keep us updated

the polyfill in the original monotub design is not so much for air filtration. remember you dont need filtered air during frutiing.

Due to the size of holes in a mono leaving them open would dry out your tub and not be able to build up humidity.

Its there to help maintain humidity while allowing air to get in and out .


Ive been using a sort of mono/shotgun hybrid type tub with no polyfill or other "filter" with good success.

The problem with trying to filter air is that it reduces air flow which can effect your FAE. polyfill has been proven to work work, other filters have also been used.

But IMO you shouldnt be thinking about filtering air during fruiting anyway since its not nessesary.

I'd say if you have shrooms pushing the poly out of the holes (especially the top ones), you don't have much to worry about. :smile:

I'd say it's about the same as micropore. My only reason for choosing it at the time was because I couldn't find micropore wide enough to cover the holes. As a few people have stated, polyfil is better since you can adjust the airflow a bit by how dense you pack it. I was just throwing the sport tape out there as simpler alternative to what the OP had in mind.

I'm taking that as, there is no better substitute for polyfill in a mono...

I don't use larger than 44qt tubs. With those I've never had more than 6 holes on the long sides and 3 on the ends. For 66 qt I'd imagine 1 or 2 more than that per side would suffice. You can always add or cover holes to dial your tub in down the road.
