Monotub pinning with waxpaper
    #20985934 - 12/16/14 06:31 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

Im trying monotubs for the first time after 3 successful mini GH grows, just coir/vermiculite and they are nearly 100% colonized in 6 days.

im using wax paper as a casing layer, I have all 6 holes of the tub covered with duct tape, do i leave the wax paper on and not allow air until I see a good pin set?

or remove wax paper and add the poly fill once 100 % colonized to induce fruiting conditions?

My friend had a mini GH with trays, and he would cover the tray with seran wrap and wait for pins to get quite large before removing the seran wrap and putting into fruiting conditions, he poked holes in the seran wrap tho, should i poke tiny holes in the duct tape?

Wax paper is not a casing layer and I'm pretty sure that method is outdated. Your holes need to be covered during colonization, but once your tub is fully colonized you need to remove the tape to initiate fruiting conditions. (FAE/Light) Stuff your top holes very loosely with poly and tight on the bottom holes and adjust as you see fit when/if conditions prove to be less optimal. If you're growing cubes you don't even need a casing layer.

i was under the impression you want high co2 right down by the sub when colonizing, crumpled up waxpaper definitely delivers,

You want evaporation off of the substrate. This will be achieved when you open up the holes and the air starts passing through the tub

Don't poke holes in anything!  Just leave it be until it is 100% colonized plus a couple days then remove the wax paper and put your polyfil in the holes.
Next time don't bother with the wax paper.  I get the concept of it and tried it once after 12 days in the tub the wax paper fell apart and was hard to remove in pieces.  If you feel you need it use saran wrap,  but it isn't needed and could cause more problems that it will help.  The tub will have a high co2 level being sealed already and the only benefit would be a small amount of moister that it will help retain during colonization.

Haha I'm not a weed hater, I just don't really like the feeling. Just not for me, I guess.
