That's Massachusetts, USA. Worst state I've ever lived in and not because the water. I've looked into the water filters but you have to buy the device plus keep buying replacement filters and those tend to cost as much as the device itself.





Holy cow.  Is that sulfur?  WTF is that yellow stuff?  Yikes.

Anyway, I recently got a Big Berkey water filter system.  It's gravity fed, but it's cheap if you just use the carbon filters.  Main issue is, takes a while to feed through.

A heavy misting after each flush is usually enough. Generally speaking there is enough water content in sub to last 2 flushes.

Dunking monos can be a pain. Given that 90% ish of mushrooms are water, you could weigh your wet weight after harvest then add 90% of that in water back to the substrate. Pour it down the sides and it should absorb it all no problems.

The stale smell could just be the stale air and water. Give it more air if u feel it needs it. More air wont hurt anything.

Rotate the lid 90 degrees so it can get more air...I see pins so shits gettin' real. Also, that small shroom is fine to pick...waste not want not.

Hygrometers aren't gonna help much either...its the surface humidity that matters not the air. I've read so many posts where people use the hygrometers and still end up with dry myc...use ur eyes bruh!

I'm just telling ya what I would try...that or loosen up the polyfil :shrug: Looks like it needs more air but I'll be honest...it's kinda hard for me to tell from the pictures...sorry. It really just depends on the surface of the substrate.

You wouldn't believe the difference in a slightly cracked lid, a lid at 90Β°, and a topless tub. Make 3 monotubs of the same culture and have your poly stuffed tight, med, and lose and you'll see one is not even close to the other. What works best for you will differ from others though since we all live in different climates. Give what tomato said a try, can't hurt. Just make sure to maintain surface conditions. If you're not 100% sure what that is search it and there's plenty of helpful info.

I think i will try with micropore tape... i mean that sound perfect and so easier than poly... I know trusted cultivator suggested it and using it. Two layer at bottom, one at top.

Micropore tape you’re really not going to get the air flow you want...polyfil is used time after time with success.

My biggest problem right now is i think the winter. I must heat the room and therefore it dries the air so the conditions are not perfect... its like -15 outside right now so there is no alternative for heating.

Ive came across heating pads... what are they? You just put it under mono and it heats substrate?

Put it in a closet and heat the closet to the mid 70s?

Heating pads are a HUGE NO NO!! If the air is drying out due to a room heater you'll just need to mist more to make up the difference.
