Hello shroomery people, I hope you are having a good day in this quarantine. I am wondering if is better to do a Monotub or a shotgun fruiting chamber depending on the climate conditions in my country. I live in Central america Temperature is between 27-31C Humidity is 80% We are entering in raining season right now. I grew mushrooms already but with a kit that would use a plastic bag. In addition one bag was a failure and the second bag was good but it had a lot of condensation. I want to do a monotub or SGFC because i think is more secure and better. So I would be a rookie growing this type of system what would you recommend? *I would be doing it inside my house but in the garden or room! Thanks for the answers I really appreciate your time and knowledge!!

Monotubs are less work to build, give you more options depending on if you go modified or unmodded, and seem to require less overall maintenance after you get some experience.
The optimal place for a SGFC from what I've read is dead center in the middle of the room. For a mono you can basically put it anywhere it fits as long as you take the overall environment into consideration.
You can go big or small with a mono and potentially use them for other stuff when you aren't cultivating in them.
Since you're still new to growing, my suggestion is to look at the shoebox teks which will help you to start learning tubs on a smaller scale and spread your project across multiple containers in case you experience a failure. Once you feel more comfortable with sterile technique, inoculating jars, and spawning to the tubs you can easily transfer that experience to growing big monotubs.
Or you can do what I did and just fail miserably spawning a big tub time and again for a year and learn the hard way

 Thanks for the recommendation, I will do it that way with mini tubs, until I learn how is the enviroment working for me. Other thing, if the Humid in my enviroment is high 80% what could that mean when growing mushrooms??

With that high of a humidity level you'll definitely need to mist less. Being in Central America, you're already in the zone that cubes naturally grow in, so you might even be able to go "open air" and just leave the lids off the tubs altogether. I'm still a novice and nowhere near your region, so I have zero experience with growing that way, but others around the forums have had success doing it that way.
