i just read a post by a TC who said that he never use a fan.
i live in a dry hot climate, i would like to set and forget!
should i remove the fan, use it only when i see signs of lack of fresh air exchange?

If you live in a hot dry climate you should use a fan even less. A monotub will provide plenty of fresh air if it is dialed in properly, a fan is overkill unless you keep your tubs in a very small enclosed space.

by saying dialed in probably you mean tight poly at the bottom holes and loose ones in the other holes

Doesn't have to be like that, that's what 1 tek says. Dialing in a tub is something that will never be the same in 2 different places. People living in high humidity can risk having their holes a little looser than people living in dry countries. If your grow room gets more draught than my grow room does, your holes need to be tighter than mine. I believe even what season it is will effect how your tubs need to be dialed.

You must always look for the signs in your tub to tweak the polyfill appropriately. If you notice big water droplets or small pools of water due to condensation, you might want to loosen the poly while if your tub seems to be drying out on the sides you might want to tighten it. Same with fuzzy feet, it's a sign that more FAE might be needed.

I am no expert in dialing tubs, I still get side pin galore if I spawn a mono without a liner but I always try to improve nonetheless. Dialing a tub perfectly is a skill which does not come easy. It is infinitely more complicated than tight poly at the bottom and loose poly at the top.
