tryptx that was informative but i agree with the link idea. Now i'm just mad at myself for spending so much on sfd's.
Dialeted i wish you the best with the new mono design. great idea and love the home made sfds i guess if i can't find ez felt i'll go with them. thanks such a massive contribution can't wait for the results

Thanks I hope it works out great myself. I just know that I had so much success with these filters with zero contams yet that it was time to see if it could be implemented into the use with the monotubs. I'm excited to have poly-less mushies lol

Do you think it would be possible to make home made spawn bags with ironed polyfill filters?

Because of server issues I re-uploaded this.. as stated it's the 2nd tub I spawned using my new filters for the tub.

Alright well I put my first modified tub here into fruiting yesterday and so far so good. It looks about normal as compared to stuffed bottom holes.

Alright so it's been an exciting time waiting for these to pin but I woke up to these today. One step closer... Stoked!
Up close and personal..
So far so good!

Well this has been tried and tested.. so far I'd say it's a great success. Loving these monotubs!
And this is right behind it
 
Even more excited about that pinset, looking super dense..

nice. Stems seem a little long though. I will give this a try.

Yeah those are the genetics of that batch. I haven't used a clone or anything from agar yet. Though they are right behind what I have going on now. The pinset I have behind it are super dense and meaty though so I'm assuming with great genetics these tubs will do great. Here's some eye candy of what I have coming next.

Hey fellers !
I've been watching this thread with interest. kudos to Dilated's thinking and innovation.
6 years ago there was monotub discussion, re: polyfill, micropore tape, tyvek. This old thread is an example.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8206581#8206581
From personal experience I decided that polyfill was preferable (over micropore tape and tyvek) for my monotubs given my conditions. I like lots of FAE. However, I do have a problem with rats pulling my polyfill and climbing inside the tubs and chowing down! (one of the drawbacks of outdoor fruiting)
so ... I watched this thread with interest thinking it may be a nice solution to my rat problem.
A piece of tyvek duct taped over my monotub holes was nice as a rat barrier .. but the FAE suffered.
I have some EZFelt which I use for GE on jar lids. I grabbed a sheet and blew through it. Hey ! this may work like your ironed polyfill for the lower holes and be a good rat barrier. Like you, I could feel the flow and warmth of my breath through it.
nice thread. next experiment for me is Dialted's ironed polyfill and EZFelt for clean, RAT PROOF, hole filters.

Hey that's awesome, FAE really is only coming from the top holes anyways. The bottom holes should always be stuffed tightly. You can even silicone the top holes with a very thin layer of the polyfil roll (it's very breathable) to the top holes to prevent it getting messed with. Though a determined enough rat could get through just about anything.. even the plastic..... I just saw a need and wanted to fill it. If you're not growing you're dying

Probably a stupid question, but what's the advantage against normal stuffed polyfill? And should the bottom holes always stuffed tightly and the top ones loosely? Thought both should more or less loosely stuffed? But I am just a beginner which wants to learn

Bottom holes should always be stuffed tightly and the tops loosely, yes. This provides FAE (free air exchange) to enter through the top holes and push the CO2 out the bottom holes. My bottom holes are there permanently and because they are flat, they don't get in the way of the mushies growing upwards. It's a real pain the ass when they grow into it and you have to pick polyfil out of your beautiful mushies. In most cases the mushies try not to even grow up under them which wastes precious area in your tub. You don't have to worry about them falling out when you move your tubs. You don't have to re-stuff them every time you make a new tub. They look neater. You can push tubs closer to each other if you have multiple tubs, with out worrying about knocking the polyfil out. You can pull your lined substrate out of the tub with out knocking the polyfil out or having to wiggle it around it.

If it works well, and it seems to, then I like the neatness and not having to redo it every time.

Once I have a good monoculture, I am going to put stuffed vs flat against each other and see the results.
