2nd monotub, looking for advice from senior r growers, you know who you are lol.
    #23428036 - 07/09/16 11:32 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

As you can see from my emoji, I am going in circles here.  I had a fairly successful (from my standard) first flush at about an ounce dry.  After harvesting rh I noticed a few spots that were pointed out to be trich.  I then followed the forums' advice and buried that mini tub outside with Hpoo on the bottom, sides and cased with a thin layer of Hpoo and damp verm.  Figured it was worth a shot.  Anyways onto my next tub, my second attempt at bulk.  I used wbs fully colonized in a 64 quart sterilite tub.  For the substrate I used damion5050's TEK (coco and verm).  I decided to not use a casing layer and the ratio was about 1:2.  I put it into fruiting at about 95% colonization after 10 days I believe.  It looks like the spots that weren't colonized just had no spawn mixed there.  Anyways with my first tub I misted and fanned 2-3 times a day, something I was told I did not have to do. Now with this 2nd tub I have heavy condensation in all the sides of the tub.  The 1st tub this didn't matter because it was a smaller tub inside a bigger tub surrounded by perlite, so there was no possibility of pooling.  I just want to make sure this new mono looks fairly normal and maybe some advice for current or future inprovementsÿçI know water invites bacteria and contamination, there doesn't seem to be any pooling yet but I don't have a garbage bag liner.  I actually had 1 but after reading that it was not necessary I pulled it after 24 hours.  There are MANY conflicting reports as to if one is necessary so I'm still in the dark on that one.  Anyways my mono is holding a 90-95% humidity and a 71-75%F.  Check out the pictures and let me know what you'll think.  I won't be offended, I'm here seeking criticism, positive or negative.  Thank you Shroomers!

Liners prevent side pinning by inhibiting a microclimate forming between the substrate and walls of the rub as it shrinks away from them as it expends mass. The benefit to this is that it forces the substrate to grow mushrooms on the topside only creating a much more easy to harvest pinset.

What monotubs tek did you follow? I like to use just two holes each on the long sides and one hole on the short sides....always make sure you are following up to date teks.

OP, if condensation is being formed to the point of causing pooling, just loosen the poly a bit to allow more FAE in. Whenever I had excess condensation I either prepped the bulk a little wetter than  it should be or the FAE wasn't good enough.
