FAE during colonization
    #26616204 - 04/20/20 07:59 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hello! I'm on my second monotub grow. These are the tubs I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GRP55T4/

I've just transferred my spawn and I'm curious if I should have the vents open for FAE, closed to prevent premature pinning, or maybe just have one of them open to get a little air in but not let the oxygen level get too high. I know the mycelium needs some oxygen to live and grow. I'm inclined to open one of the top vents. What do ya'll think? Does it make a difference if I have yet to add a casing layer? I figured I would do that after it's colonized a bit tho I suppose I can lay some foil down now.

Or maybe it's not about the air getting in, it's about the CO2 getting out? I'm reading up about it but I'm still not sure I'm finding a good answer.

Don't lay foil on it that's not necessary. I don't ever use a top layer
or casing layer. Typically people add it right when they mix the tub
but it can be added later.

I'm not sure with that tub how exactly you're gonna want to run that.
It needs to at least have some gas exchange during colonization but
Once the surface is colonized you need to then have proper FAE

I'd suggest in the future using a normal 64-66qt clear storage tote

Thanks. I am thinking my next grows will be in small containers for me to experiment with some isolates. I'm gonna open up one of the vents on top a bit. Hopefully, that'll be enough.
