And you should, if you desire to. As long as you know what youre doing is for fun, and not to really solve a problem or improve a design already beloved by the community.

Potency loss is negligable IME. However after 3 flushes a 66 quart mono should have yielded close to a pound. Many people just don't see the point in taking up real estate to get another oz outta it :shrug:

I was just wondering. Do you dunk your grains before you spawn to bulk?

If I do something as an experiment its always to improve a design.

Well then i dont think you should do it as its not really an improvement to the basic mono. I dont mean to be rude let me just explain why i think:
-The tubing network may disrupt colonization. Or it may not, im not sure- i would just feel weird inserting any foreign material into the heart of my sub.
-A properly prepared sub has all the water it needs. If a dunk is needed but you cant or are lazy, why not a heavy misting?
-individual opinion on when "enough is enough" when it comes to late flushes.
I think you should go for it, its just I cant say its an improvement. Like so many have said what is there to improve? I havnt been doing this for long but i think i can safely say you wouldnt see "improvements". I respect the ambition.

I don't know if I asked this already but I was wondering if the placement of the hole for the hose matters. Should it be high, midway, or low. I'm going to try my second monotub and your flushes look kickass so I think it is about to be experiment time.

I placed the hoses as seen in the very clear diagram that I drew.



The tubes go into the tub about an inch and they are almost at substrate level. Maybe 1 centimeter above the substrate but because of the way the tubing is shaped it kind of angles down pointing right at the sub.

11:45 PM Pacific time. I have noticed a patch of green mold about the size of a dime on the substrate. This tub is officially finished.  Thank you to everyone who posted here.  It's been a long three month haul for this and I'm more than happy even though I didn't quite hit a pound dry.  Thanks guys.

i wonder if slightly increased pressure in the fruiting chamber would be beneficial.

I have speculated about the effects of positive and negative (partial vaccum) pressure would have on the cell structure. Unfortunately there doesn't exist a practical way to test this in a home environment.

Find some other zany idea to pursue.

Elevation changes if you live near mountains will give you a big pressure change.

True enough, I just meant running a vaccum and trying to maintain rh and fae with it. But if he wants to drive a  tub or gh to the mile high city I hope he writes us all a paper on cellular expansion in fungi in lower pressure environments.

Or........just shows us some regular old fruits and tells us its from there. Roger, given enough generations at somewhere with lower pressure would we see different mutations or would they be minimal in our lifetime?

I just built a mono kinda like that but one air hose has an air stone at the end in a cup of water in the corner and the other air hose is hooked up through a cheap humidifier I bought from a supply store online will post pics if anyone is interested but I have a junk camera so they'll suck

If it's a true bulk substrate then it will provide all the humidity you need.  All you need to add is the air.  If you notice the tub isn't holding humidity the way it should then you dial back the air. 

The air stone in the water is completely unnecessary.  No one really does that anymore.  In fact I think It's actually going to keep the air from circulating the way it should. But yes post a thread so we can see the setup.
