Wet/dry cycle or always wet? Monotubs * 1
    #26649710 - 05/05/20 04:13 AM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Do you guys like to let your tubs dry out a little before misting it again or do you just play it safe by keeping it moist all the time?

If evaporation is a pinning trigger I'm thinking it should get somewhat dry before getting mister again.

Is it a traditional monotub with 4 holes on bottom and 2 on top, or are you doing an unmodified tub?

With tubs you have to learn to dial them in, and when they are, they require little to no misting. If it's an unmodified tub, you have to mist occasionally.
There should always be a thin layer of water droplets on the surface when it is dialed in correctly.

With "traditional" monotubs, you tighten or loosen the polyfill to dial it in. If it's this type, the layer of tiny droplets should start to dry up just in front of the bottom polyfill. This means you are allowing max FAE you can without it starting to dry the sub. If it's too dry, give it a mist and tighten the bottom poly. If it's too wet and you're getting puddles, loosen the bottom poly.
With this type of tub, you shouldn't have to mist it ever unless it starts to get too dry.

novice opinion here but it seems better to be dry side and be misting vs. too wet and trying to dry the whole thing out somehow. too wet invites too may bad things, where too dry seems to still produce, but at a lesser quality, but way less risk of mold/trich/nasties.

I just posited yesterday in a different post that your own personal environment may dictate what kind of tub is best for you to run. Some people live in a swamp. some people live in a desert. I think you have to adapt to your environment.

I have 2 tubs same size mixed same day both tubs treated totally the same. different varieties, but knocked the same day, grained the same day, etc.
they hatched 1st pins yesterday both tubs. Last night i knocked holes in the sides of 1 tub and polyfilled. the other tub is unbodified. Im going to see what works better for me over here.

it is said that misting (surface evaporation) and FAE (less co2, more o2) are the pin triggers, so I say mist as much as you can and get the surface wet/dry cycle going full blast to pins, then adjust as needed per monitoring  your tub.
