Spraying the sub directly in a dubtub?
    #23190706 - 05/04/16 11:45 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I put my dubtub into fruiting on the May 1st. During colonization there was plenty of moisture, almost bit too much. A good amount of water collected at the bottom of my tub so I dumped that out, and I soaked up a bit of moisture from the surface of the sub with a paper towel.


Now that I put my tub into fruiting I'm not sure if there is enough moisture. I see some condensation, but not on all parts of the tub. I've always read to mist the top tub as opposed to the substrate, but would it hurt to mist the sub?


Some pictures to better explain what's going on. By the way this is PE which is notoriously known to test people's patience, and I did add a casing layer.

You always want to mist the substrate, never the walls. And you shouldn't soak up condensation off the substrate either

Dont worry about condensation on anything but the substrate.. condensation on the walls will change with temperature.

Tighten up the poly if its too dry

Condensation just means that there is a temperature differential. It has nothing to do with the moisture in the substrate itself.

If the substrate's surface looks dry, then mist it. There should be tiny droplets of moisture on the surface that are constantly evaporating off.

Mist gently with a fine mist.
