Having a bunch of tubs stacked up would be a lot simpler IMO. But whatever you want to do. I just think trying to dial in multiple machines and this and that is more trouble than it'd be worth as opposed to monos. But GH's can be great, though

They can be great. Definitely hang onto all your gear for it. If you're going for space-saving and non-conspicuous design, though, GH is not where it's at.

I understand where you are coming from. I understand the mistakes i made and have learned from each and every one. Honestly i had most everything for a martha sitting around the house. I think thats why i went that route. I often have severe migraines and arthritis flares, and even seizures. I want to be as automaded as i can in the end.
I put a lot of thought into monos but the rh in my area can reach below 10% in the winter. I run 2 US in my room in the winter to get the humidity to 50%. Its not a big room either. Martha seemed like my best bet at sucess while dealing with disabilities.
When i dialed the martha in it was weird westher with 50-70% humidity and lots of rain for a few weeks. Recently is back in the low 20s upper teens. So many variables to consider in any setup and im learning how to control them.
Again every word of advise you give is valued and is applied to any situation it is relevant to.

The tubs or greenhouse seemed very comfortable, growing cannabis and rasing reptiles has me very familiar with dialing in these machine. Im working on the grow room now and when its done there will be tubs. I do love tye idea of monos.
In the end it was because what i had made it cheaper then tubs and wifes approval is always based on cost. All i needed was the mini greenhouse for 30 bucks.

This is almost exactly how I did my first grow recently :O. Good luck man. My log thread with lots of pictures is in TNF if you want to see an almost identical grow.
I also had to mist mine pretty often for a few days. I don't have an ultrasonic going in mine though. Just a wicking evaporating humidifier that runs 24/7. Not really a complicated setup at all.
I'm doing a monotub now and I've had to mist that one too but not nearly as often. I'll probably stick to using both methods.
Either way, neither method really takes much work.

I agree, but i did not want to have a bunch of dub tubs, was not and still am not sure the rh in my area would make a mono as effective without opening and misting all the time. 30 bucks for the greenhouse seemed to me to be the safest way to go since i have timers, US humidifiers. My wife would not want a bunch of tubs in a corner somewhere, shes picky. In the end the greenhouse is what worked best for my given situation.
Like i said ill give monos a try once i finish the grow room. Humidified to 50% and cooled/heated to 72. Im just cleaning it out and sterilizing it.

looks rather wet to me, think you might get a problem with the caps soon. and i'm not 100% sure i like the look of the sub..
dialing in that gh of yours can be finicky man.. just do your best to keep things moist but still allow the mushrooms to dry so they arent sitting wet in the fc over time..

The sub does look a little bit weird. Maybe some metabolites forming?

The yellow is the flash from the camera. Im looking at it now and its coir brown and myc white. It does seem a bit wet so ill stop misting that tub. So dry cake wet tub...i can see the diiferece in the 2 methods now lol. Thanks for helping me out.
Would it be wise to take the wet tub out of the martha and let it dry just a bit?

Oh if that's the case, it's fine. But I wouldn't call half a dub tub in a martha a tub, that's.. a little confusing. More like a tall tray at that point.

Yeah the tubs are just tubs without top. That is the reason i didnt want to touch the humidifier. The extra misting is making them wet so once this one is a bit more dry ill put it back and remove them when i mist.
Im still learning and appreciate the help. Please bear with my noob behavior, hopefully the extra wetness wont be an issue, i hear PE drinks a lot.
So ill say tray from now on to remove confusion, i appologize for that.
