How much micro tape equals 'tight poly'?
    #24914104 - 01/14/18 05:08 PM (7 years, 3 days ago)

Hey all. Whats up? Top of the afternoon.

So I believe I have found the best hole configuration, for my situation, on my mono tub(s).

A hole at sub level on each long side filled tight with poly. And a hole on each short side with loose poly at the top. 

So, what I'd like to know; is how many layers of microtape would it take to replace the bottom, tight, poly holes? I don't like poly at the sub level and would like replace those holes with microtape. This is the thread I used to get where I'm at. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17332777

Thanks!

I usually use 2 layers of tape on the bottom and a single layer on top.

I have 2" wide MP tape but if I'm using the 1" and need to use 2 pieces side by side to cover the hole for each layer, I try not to let them overlap.

If you need to restrict FAE even more, you can add additional layers of tape in incriments, with the 3rd layer covering the hole 1/4", 1/2", etc
But I find 2 layers on the bottom is usually perfect.

I really like using the MP tape, its consistent. I can never stuff the poly in each hole at a consistent tightness, I suck at it :lol:

If I ever give out misinformation please inform me so I can have the correct information. :cheers:

Do you put 1 layer on the inside and one on the outside? Or both outside? Does MP only breathe 1-way?

Stuff holes tightly during spawn run and reduce 50-75% during fruiting.  :shrug:

All layers go on the outside.

I've been using micropore tape instead of polyfill on my tubs for months now (much thanks to pastywyte for the tek!).

Tight Poly, 2 layers of micropore tape, "loose" poly, 1 layer of micropore tape.

I have 2 layers on the lower holes and 1 layer on the upper holes. If I want to increase FAE after the pinset has come in, I remove one of the two layers off the bottom holes. I also sometimes lower the tape a little on the top holes (leaving it partially uncovered) if I really think it needs more fresh air, altho this is hardly ever necessary.
