Re: Basic Principles of a Monotub [Re: SpitballJedi] * 1

Very nice write up, as usual :wink:
But would you mind writing a bit more about how to correctly adjust polyfill when not having a fan?



That's my current (and first) monotub. 4 holes on top (one each side) and 6 on the bottom (one on the short, two on the long sides).
I don't want to use a fan, because the monotub stands in my bedroom and don't want to have a fan there blowing 24/7.
On this mono there's just a little bit of evaporation on the holes and really much condensation on each side, probably to much? Should I put away the top polyfill for better FAE? It's in fruiting conditions since 18.07 but not 100% colonized then, because there was a little bit more substrate on one edge (now 100%). Thanks in advance :smile:

Condensation is normal for a mono tub. The inside is warmer than your room. The temperature difference will cause the condensation. I guess I could put that info in the OP.

It looks like you have some contamination. Those white spots. It's hard to tell from the pic though.

Your set up may not have a distinct air-flow pattern. The air is likely all rising up and out and fresh air coming in the bottom though.

It's hard for me to say what you should do with that tub because I have never used one that way. But, I will try. I usually only try and talk about what I know.

I would put tape over the top holes on the 2 sides

Then, tape over the holes on bottom on the ends.

When done, you will have two holes on bottom on each side and one hole at top on each end for a total of six holes. Then, you can adjust the poly.

Then again, doing all that may not matter.

Either way, since you likely don't have good FAE, you will need to fan the tub out 2-4 times a day. I wouldn't loosen the poly on bottom too much because you may get dry spots around the holes.

Okay, will change it when I come home. But wouldn't it 'produce' better FAE (after tapping the holes as you mentioned), when removing the polyfill on the top holes? I work a lot and could fan a maximum of 2 times a day, but besides that I made a monotub for 'set and forget' so I would like to prevent manually fanning?

The only place I can find good, stack-able 66qt clear tubs is Big Lots. I don't know if you have one of those around you, but there selection of storage tubs is awesome. Target has them too, but there aren't any of those around here. Here's the tote.
