Monotub with completely saturated air? Fae? Open lid? Optimal climate?
    #26804833 - 07/05/20 08:53 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hi, a thought. My monotube has water drops on the substrate. And the walls and lid have condensation and water drops as well. When I observed my monotube, I saw that everything is dry from the beginning when I spawned, and then over time there will be condensation on the walls and lids as if you were breathing on a glass. And then a little later, the condensation on the walls and lids increases even more and becomes water drops instead. Does this not mean that the air in the monotube is saturated? And if the air is saturated, then evaporation can no longer occur from the substrate? Right? Which I guess is bad, like stepping on the brake so everything slows down? Right?

And I've also noticed that pins and mushrooms grow at their best when the monotube has condensation like when you breathe on a glass. More condensation / saturated air than this seems to prevent growth and give lesser pins and thinner mushrooms. The mushrooms appear to grow rapidly hour by hour when the air in the monotube is as if you are breathing on a glass. But slow down when it is too wet and the air is completely saturated, or when the air is too dry and it is not as it is when you "breathe on a glass".

So my thought is the following: it is not best that I open the monotube and let the old saturated air be replaced by new unsaturated air, and wipe the lid (so that I can see on the lid when there is too much condensation / saturation of the air again) and then close the monotube again? And then keep track of the condensation of the lid and then replace the air again when the lid has got too much condensation / the air has become too saturated again?

It should keep the climate in good condition quite continuously, right? Except for a short time after the air is replaced before it starts to build up again?

What do you think about this? Am I thinking right here? Have I learned to see the right signs now regarding the optimal climate in the monotube? Or am I wrong?

Monotubs are fully automated already. They're the most automated setup ive seen in my entire time growing mushrooms. They're already more brilliant and automatic than any so called automatic setup I've seen.





What Im trying to say is that you should leave it alone. As long as you have followed a tek for the set-up, guessing either bods unmodified tubs or pasty's dialed in monos (or any number of other variants), your tub should be getting enough FAE with just the lids unclapsed or upside down or what have you. The condensation you have is probably from the water that was already there from your coir preparation. If your tub is not drying out, just leave it be :smile:
