Would this design be viable for a terrarium

I was wondering if this style of terrarium would work for a small scale operation, if not what can be done to the design to ensure it working?

Why not just use a SGFC?

I need to be able to hide it easily and I don't have the time to mist 4-7 times a day. On top of that I already have all these materials sitting at home. I just want to know if it will work, of course I could just build a SGFC but where's the fun in discovering? can you just answer my question please and thank you, will this work?

If it maintains 100% humidity that's one thing but what about the FAE? There's no component of that design to incorporate fresh air exchange to facilitate evaporation off the substrate...a major pinning trigger. So you'd be fanning several times a day anyway.

Is there a way I can automate the air exchange?

A monotub is what you are after... Trust me, nothing is easier to hide than a mono. Awesome yield and takes care of itself.

That sounds right up my ally, would you mind posting a link to an easy to follow monotub guide? Or perhaps there is something I can do to this current design I have to make it work? any suggestions?

Will this monotub tek work with 8.4L rubbermaid containers?

It will work with any size container within reason, as long as it is properly colonised.
No need to mist, spray or any of that crap if you set them up right. Just put into fruiting conditions when ready and harvest. Couldn't be more simple.

Yup, I prefer minimono's myself for various reasons.

Just have to make sure it is tall enough with smaller containers, that is the only thing I would think could hamper proceedings.
I use 27ltr tubs and they are perfect. I don't see why a smaller tub wouldn't work though, do some reading on the basics of mono tubs and sling one together, you will work out the specifics as you go in regards to container size and efficiency.
