Monotubs are pretty much set and forget once you have them dialed in (polyfil adjusted) the hardest part about bulk is making sure you have clean spawn. Practice grain prep and sterile technique and you'll be fine. Have you ever worked with agar?

Give this a read and watch these videos. The only way to gaurantee clean culture is to start with agar.

This bitch agrees with Mike. You don't want constantly high humidity. How are you going to have any evaporation when it's all 98%? A shotgun goes down to 50% humidity at times. It fluctuates with the air pressures and temps. It's a lot more natural. We want to mimic the outdoors as much as possible.

Is Florida always 98%? Sorry it's not just fae that causes pinning(prolific pinning) it's the high SURFACE humidity of the cakes lowering(evaporating) due to the lower humidity around it. Replaced with a gentle misting when needed. Evaporation is caused by fae and outside climate/pressures. A properly built sgfc doesn't even need fanning after misting, it should evaporate that fast.

I went back over my research and found one glaring similarity- it was all info 5 years old... 5 years ago. As well as (which someone stated) some of the info I crammed in all of my extremely finite free time lately started to meld together. I will mod this tub a little to make a mono (shouldn't take too much) and build a to spec shot gun. I was hoping to do a monotub anyways so I guess I have more of a reason to now. I already have more than enough perilite so I'll see ho the humidity holds. I also bought 2 humidifiers beause I /really/ want to do a Martha. So I'll have them in case I need to up the humidity. When I grew 5 years ago I did get the humidifier figured out pretty damn solidly- my ecudorians!! :smile: oh my I just miss the sight of those fat little bueaties!
