Handles in Tub Substrate for Moving Around
    #21892700 - 07/03/15 01:36 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Years ago, I played around with a pf cake suggestion about hydration where I embedded straws in the middle. I doubt it really improved much but it also didn't seem to hurt. As it turned out, I could easily handle the cakes by grabbing the straws instead of risking bruising, pin damage, etc.

This gives me the idea, has anyone tried embedding some handles of sorts in the sub for moving it around, possibly birthing it to an SGFC...whatever.

Some lift their subs by gripping the edges of their liner...

Thank you, and that is smart of course but I really want to go liner-less. Some of the very experienced growers do it with good success. If they can do it, so can I with effort and/or practice. Then, I can see my substrate all the way around and won't waste more plastic than I already do.

There must be a simple solution for this. I will have a look around the local dollar store :smile:

I use clear plastic for a liner. You don't have to worry about side pins from light, that's outdated info. Side pinning happens when the sub shrinks away from the sides of your tub which develops the perfect micro-climate for pin formation. A clear liner will help prevent side pins and allow you so see your sub from all angles.

A 12' by 12' clear plastic drop sheet from a dollar store, cost me a buck and change and makes a good number of liners :thumbup:
