Thrilled to see somebody else doing this!  Puts a smile on my face :smile:

Thread I posted a number of years ago: Just Some Mushroom Porn - "No Hole" Monotub(s) - UPDATED w/ More Pics

I literally never use holes in my tubs...I mean, I use the largest pre-existing hole though..you know, the one on top...the one the lids covers :wink:  With that there why go through the trouble of making more holes I always say.

From that thread:


Quote:

I don't use holes in my tubs anymore.  I leave the lid cracked about a half an inch during the day, and close it up at night.  When I say I "leave the lid cracked" I mean that instead of putting the lid on the tub so it's closed, I move the lid off center by about a half an inch.

The way my lighting is set up, is the bulb above each tub is about 6 inches away.  This creates warmer air inside the tub than outside the tub, which in turn creates convection currents within the tub.  The warmer air exits through the 1/2" opening on one side, and as it exits, pulls fresh air in through the 1/2" opening on the opposite site.  So during the day it gets, more or less, constant fresh air while still maintaining a very high RH (RH is controlled by the size of the gap created by having the lid offcenter...which I can easily make larger or smaller by simply moving the lid closer to or farther from being completely closed).

I've stopped modifying my tubs for a couple of reasons, the first being that once I've modified them with holes and whatever else, they become kind of single purpose, in that I can't really use them as regular tubs anymore for things like storage.  Second, they look weird as hell and are hard to explain to people asking why I've got tubs with holes all over the place.  Third, I've found great success not putting holes in them...in fact, much more success than I had while putting holes in them.  Fourth, moving a lid back and forth is a lot easier than messing with "polyfill density".  What I mean is, it's hard to accurately measure from one grow to the next "how dense the polyfill was" the last time when you had a good grow.  The offcenter lid method is easily measurable...in that you literally measure how far from centered the lid is, and it's easily repeatable.

I give a good fanning just before I seal the tubs up at night.  I mist whenever I see that things are dry or on their way to approaching being dry.

then you'll probably like this one



it has holes but none of that fucking polyfil mess.
this one is PEU, but it hasn't started to pin yet.


there's three holes on each of the short sides up by the handles. and one hole by the substrate on the long sides




Wanted to rate you 5 shrooms, but I need 50 posts it seems (really sucks I lost access to my old account...alas).

Anyway, that's awesome man.  Can't wait to see how it turns out!
