Colonizing question
    #19277011 - 12/14/13 11:18 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Lets say your trying to colonize a monotub.  Your house is 60 F but your fruiting room has a nice oil heater in it and stays 70 - 75 F. Sound good but you also have a fan running in there and the air is moving real good.  Real bad for a colonizing tub that wants to keep most of its CO2. 


Does anyone have a solution?

-Holes would be taped up but the lid is imperfect. Would too much air get into it just sitting on a shelf with all the air movement?

I would think to put it in a garbage bag but worried that the bag would restrict GE to a point of being bad and stalling out from suffocation...

Maybe in the garbage bag but leaving the bag untied, open on one side? 

Perhaps in a garbage bag all tied up but a couple holes punched in the trash bag which were covered with micopore tape?


Curious as to what other peoples take on this would be....

You could try taping up both the holes and the gap between the lid and tub on long sides of the monotub, leaving the gap on the short sides for gas exchange.

I feel that it would be just fine as long as the fan is not directed at the tub itself.

I've seen people cover tubs with trash bags before. I would clean the bag first and tuck the bottom underneath the tub.
