Covering monotub?
    #23946275 - 12/21/16 02:34 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

The tek I normally follow for monotub has me cover with a trash bag or cover top layer with foil, but I have read somewhere is is kinda outdated. I just spawned 5qts of burma to a tub need to know if I cover it or leave it like it is

I'm not the most experienced but I left mine uncovered and it's fruiting amazingly. From what I understand, mycelium actually benefits from ambient light prior to previous beliefs.

I'll second this.  I don't cover mine either and everything works great still.

Yeah man, you don't want a bag or foil over your mono. During colonization it benefits from ambient light as pointed out  and during fruiting it's been the norm for 6500k bulbs. Good luck! :smile:
