Maybe. To be honest you are going to need to test it yourself. But I imagine a third layer on the bottoms at that point would be close.

Still working out the kinks here. Had a bit of a lecanicillium scare, but without spraying, it seems to have been kept from spreading so far. I'm definitely going to keep playing with MP tape.
And this sketchy mofo

Which looked just like classic mycogone; white blob with yellow perspiration and a couple brown spots on the stipe.
But the method obv. works. No blobs first flush. Pseudocased with 1/2" CVG at spawn. Pretty sure it's a clone though.

i quickly threw this together after my cats went ape shit over the poly stuffing.. i left it this way and it indeed works well.. but i could only do 1 layer of tape because i ran out. will be tinkering some more with bigger trays/tubs.
 and yes thats duct tape.

Still waiting. Not a pin to be found yet...

Also. The left tray I used a card and cut a grid pattern in it. The right one I did not. Curious to see if I get a better pinset with the left gridded tray.
Been in fruiting about 10 days now I'd say. Straight birthed cased and into fruiting. Not seeing anything yet....

I have an issue with my micropore tape tub... I think it's not getting enough air flow because after 2 days the walls/ceiling of the tub remain looking wet and moist. I lightly misted and heavily fanned the tub today 3-4x times today for 30-60seconds to hopefully trigger pinning while I ask this question:
I would like to increase air flow through the sub without drying it, and as I read the original post, you're could remove one of the 1" tapes so that part of the hole will be exposed. But which hole should I begin with? One of the bottom holes? Or the top holes to start? And how many holes? There are 6 and 8... should I do just like... 2 to start with and see how it goes for the rest of the day?

You always adjust top holes first... come on, basic stuff now..

I guess I could note I have the bottom layer of top tape on both my tubs and have a Fan blowing at them and honestly they need more fresh air. May remove the middle layer.

I think you guys run monos too dry to begin with. When getting a pinset in you seriously don't want the walls to dry right out unless you got some real casing going on. Bump the FAE when the pins are in. No wonder half the pics of tubs I see are looking dry.

Setting up my first monos. I'm so glad I ran across this. Polyfill is a pain. Pasty, I appreciate you sharing your wisdom.

Ok so i had to add an extra layer and still am having the surface dry out ... one tub got hit with trich due to not cleaning my tub out that good because its along the bottom but that tub was moved to anothet room and i had to remove some tape to get better fae ... the room i grow doesnt seem too drafty but i always have to mist 2 3 times a day but also get pools in the corners?

Are you running a fan? Is the temp of the room really high? I live in a very dry region so I know a lot about dry tubs. I also case or at least a coir top layer at spawning. If you don't case and your climate is dry then a casing or periodic misting may be needed.

Also higher FAE won't stop trich if your spawn is bad or your manure pasteurization too hot. It will actually speed up how soon it shows green.

This tub right here has never been misted, coir top layer and in fruiting conditions since I spawned it. Plenty of surface condensation, but my house is bone dry.

A healthy sub at proper field capacity should generate enough heat that the condensation forms without needing to mist.

Its pretty dry here also man no fan but its a manufactured home, floor vents and the ac blows quite a bit but not as much it is staying pretty nice like 73 on its own but the thermostat is by the kitchen and turns on alot ... i know i wont stop the trich but it is due to my dirty tub i used it really is along the bottom .. my grow room stays around 70 with a high of 76 and low of 64 ... it was hard in the summer to keep it under 78 80 on average .. the one tub that is drying doesnt have a casing i have one with coir and one with jiffy the jiffy is perfect ill do a quick mist every 3 days with that one but i also am using medium poly .. the micropore tape with coir casing i mist once but the tub i moved into our bathroom with trich has no casing and is staying with beads ?? That looks nice honestly i think the room is getting more air flow due to it being the closest to the a/c

AC and furnaces running is a variable that needs to be accounted for with any grow. They will dry out monos and SGFCs alike. Close the vents to lessen the airflow a bit or add more tape.
Any method needs to be adjusted as needed. We dial in because we all live in different places. If I was in Florida I would have very different needs from the Sahara.

So help me out here Pasty, Ive put my hybrid tub into fruiting condition while colonising, this beeing covering up every hole with MICROPORE tape.
So I just leave it like this until I get a decent pinset and then take off the top top layer off for better FAE. How can you see when things are going wrong and need dialling in with this method?
Are there any things notice while doing it this way?

I understand that, i am still trying to get that down right so ive been having to mist a shit ton ... i only have a few more months at most at this dump and hopefully will get better at dialing them in at the new place ... how many layers do you think will be ok to get away with i mean to where its still able to breath
