Too much surface moisture?
    #26864029 - 08/05/20 08:40 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hello again! First and foremost thank you to the community for all the guidance and help thats been provided to me and to the many others having issues that have helped me learn and progress my first successful harvest. This is my second monotub grow and Im wondering if the surface of my substrate may have too much beading of moisture towards the top? Ive successfully got pins..but Ive also drained the tub twice by placing bottom holes for pooling that mustve occured during consolidation/evaporation. Ive attached a photo to see what your thoughts were. If this is too much moisture, what is a good (if any) method of resolve? Thank you all again!

Surface looks great 👍 to me
Corners little dry with no drops it looks if anything. But it’s dialed in nicely, let it do it’s work and you’ll be pinning all over soon enough. Long as there is no pooling water in the surface. Drops are perfect good job.

Post your pics on Shroomery instead of some other site. Makes for easier viewing on here.

I’d say the surface looks almost too wet but it’ll be fine. Be sure it’s getting proper FAE.

Will do and thanks for the reply! I currently have a ceiling fan I keep on low twice a day for around 20 mins. Ive read where having a stationary fan not directly pointed at the tub is the best way to go. I also am using the micropore tape method with half of the holes covered with one layer. This setup got me 7oz dry with the last tub but also had much larger holes in the last one. Works got me busy so off days are few and far between but will absolutely pick one up if necessary.

It’ll be fine but the outsides do look a lot less wet.

No problem. I’m glad to give my opinion!

Always keep the fan in the room on unless you messing inside the tub. Just not on high. A stagnant room is a contam waiting to happen. Keep air flowing in the room.

A fan in the room needs to be pointed at a wall away from the grow so you don’t completely dry things out. :smile:

You don’t always need a fan in the room. I use one to assist with air movement but it’s a portable ac that’s pointed at a wall on the opposite side of the room.
If you have central air that runs in that room, you don’t need a fan.
