Does anybody actually "set and forget" their monotub during fruiting? 1

Or do you always try to fan/mist every chance you get? I want to trust the process and know that my monotubs dont need to be fanned/misted and that the setup is proper, but I am never sure and I try to fan/mist at least once a day so I never know if it's actually necessary. I think I need to read more teks on how to manipulate and read how monotubs should look.

I think it depends on your environment. I did a basement tub grow once upon a time where I had a room built, holding 30+ 66qt tubs. I did the tubs with polyfill and had a squirrel cage fan (with HEPA filter, of course, blowing into the room. Louvered exhaust. No fanning at all, minimal misting. Excellent yields... Cheers

yes set and forget.
these tubs where put into fruiting at spawning with a casing and come back to a couple weeks later to near full canopies. had other tubs like this but you get it -- it's just that simple. if you have extra time put it to making more tubs

this is how large_dose outlined using monos in his popular thread https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8231041

Basically sit and forget. I've left tubs for a couple of days and came back to them. I love this shit tho, so I'm always peeking in my tubs. Just seeing how they are doing, take notes and shit.
You do seem to loose track when you are running multiple tubs after a while.
The " set and forget " comes from basically haveing them dialed in and after you fruit them not have to mess with them until harvest.

Basically set and forget, but just because it's what I do, I check on them every day, and mist when needed because not every tub will be perfectly hydrated, some just lose surface moisture no matter how much you tighten up, especially when they're in the middle-bottom of the stack.

I don't have as much experience as a lot of folks here ^^, but I have become efficient at monotubs. I for sure check them out multiple times a day because I really enjoy it. I rarely ever change or make adjustments to the tub. After the first flush, I might mist if the sub looks dry. Once I have the polly right the tub does it's thing.

I put one monotub in the kitchen yesterday because I had some friends here and forot it in the kitchen.
Today morning I recognized my girlfried cooking in the kitchen.
I went to my monotub and noticed that the condensation that was quite all over the inside of the tub was gone on one long side at all and the surface of the mono was a bit dry.
So I misted it.
Really, how important is this condensation inside the tub? Is it a sign of good environment or is it just a sign of higher temperature inside than outside the tub which means that in a room that has almost the same temperature like inside the tub there shouldn't be any condensation at all?

You're right, condensation on the tub walls doesn't indicate much more than a difference in temperature between the inside of the tub and the surrounding air. However, how much the condensation evaporates around the holes in your tub can let you know if you're getting enough FAE. It was something hi like 1" to 2" of evaporation around the bottom holes and evaporation reaching down to the substrate level for the top holes for it to be "dialed in" IIRC. Your mushrooms will tell you what they need when they come in, but that's a good starting point.

No need for fanning a monotub to begin with, that's why you have it dialed in, so the air currents will flow in and out of the tub. If you're concerned that the air is too stagnant, then run a small fan in the same room pointed away from the tub..keep it on the lowest setting
Only mist when necessary, as in when the surface is completely dry. You want to make sure there are tiny beads of water droplets on the surface to encourage evaporation, so definitely keep an eye on that, it's a huge pinning trigger

Very cool. When you had you basement multi-totes rolling - What temp did you fruit in with "set it and forget" tek? Did you use a casing after colonization? How did you set up the Louvered exhaust? Thanks !! Hopefully you receive this:)

I have been trying various set and forget methods and found using dub tub shoeboxes with mono tub FAE holes covered in micropore tape that I then seal with packing tape. I put in FC straight from spawning to bulk. So far it's the most set and forget! I don't open it until I harvest!
I am trying to figure out how to post pics.

I would recommend a separate post, as this is a six year old thread with some outdated things such as fanning and tub condensation levels for example.
