I mean I wouldn't go to sleep with it plugged in lol, it should go without saying to proceed with good judgement and caution and put it somewhere safe. But if you were to take it apart, clean it up and find the only thing failed is the limit switch I'd Jimmy rig it in a pinch, and just keep an eye on it. Then again my profession is basically a professional Jimmy rigger at times so I guess my level of comfort is a lot higher than the average person with that kind of shit.
I'm also old enough to remember the good ol' days of radio shack. Amazon is nice for finding literally anything you could ever need but fuck you if you need electronic components locally, unless you live in a big city or are lucky to live near a cool hobby shop or something you're pretty well screwed.
And yeah fan dried fruits will never dry properly, not cubes. Oven is next best thing but would be pretty wack of you have more than a few cakes worth to dry.

It has become a nightmare to manage I will not lie. It requires a ton of effort but I am applying approaches to simplify processes, weed out inefficiencies and improve everything.
Like loading liners was a time consuming cocksuck then trimming them. Taping was no good while loading and even spraying water would not let the liner stick while I loaded it causing shit to fall behind it. So I purchased a large mortar mixing tub and some ductwork. I built a table to hold the tub. I use an empty mono to mix my sub and spawn using a drill and paint mixer then simply throw an empty mono with a liner under the duct outlet, dump the spawn-sub into the mortar tray and it falls through into the middle of the liner so no more fucking stuff falling between the liner and tub or knocking the liner off the side lol.
I am toying with the idea of simply doing away with monotubs and using poly sheet to build a massive fruiting chamber.

Way to be forward thinking though. Big tables, totes, bins, strainers, and space for something other than a triangle of inefficiency seem key to managing that workload. I really envy your space. Dear lord I do...

On a2a transfers it's easy cause you just drag the blade through the agar. But this was my first time doing LC and it was a shitshow lol
If you have an unmodded bottle, squish the agar against the neck, it should stick there. Put the lid on it, and shake it like a polaroid picture! If you have a modded/filtered lid, flame the scalpel handle up an inch or two, then drop the wedge toward the bottom of the neck (tilt the bottle to gain more access), cap it and swirl like a wine glass.

^^^ indeed. I like to use narrow mouth jars for LC so I can use that neck taper to snag the wedge and just flame the handle good as described. Then the swirl (falls in once in a blue moon lol). Yuppers.

Mix everything in the bag, then put it in the mono and trim it...

Why are you surprised by that? They add tons of convenience to a grow. If I didnt use them, it would take like 3x as long to spawn, harvest, and cleanup. have you ever had 10+ tubs at once? it kinda really makes sense when you have a large grow. takes me about 10 min to make the mono, 30 seconds to remove it for harvest, and 4-5 minutes to harvest, then a quick rinse in the shower for cleanup. all thanks to the liner.

love the ease of cleanup with liners. iv actually thought about putting liners in ny pan trays just cuz they have grooves in the bottom and can be a pain in the ass to clean. i have to soak them in a dish soap and bleach bath over night to be able to scrub them out with ease. and i def miss just being able to lift and toss rinse and wipe.

I used liners on 1st few tubs, then quit for like a year. I switched back to liners like a month ago and I'm so happy I did. Just on cleanup alone. So easy. Harvesting just pull it up and out of the tub. Easy access. Liners are worth it all way around imo.

Cleaning tubs is the job I hate the most in the hobby, it’s worse than harvesting. Liners make it so much easier. I’m never going to stop using liners.

For that problem I’d suggest to stop using shoeboxes too

Lol I like shoe boxes because I can flip the sub out easily for harvest without breaking it or needing a liner. And for the side pins just tamp down the edges and mist the top layer SFF style. It hasn’t failed me yet.
I do miss the generally bigger mush of monos and may go back to them once I move. We shall see, I’ve come to like the little boxes. I don’t grow serious weight though

The SFF is one TEK i have been trying and still lots of side/bottom pins. In fact, this mornings (more bottom than top) was SFF. I think, though, my bottom layer has been too wet. I do tamp down the edges, maybe i need to compress more, not sure.
I am pretty new at this so I am going to keep messing around.
