keep Monotubs hydrated in the Dry American Southwest?

Hello Friends,
Monotub veteran here. I've successfully grown in Monotubs, SGFC and Filterpatch bags several times in the humid South East USA.
Opposite side of the country now, in a very dry climate. Any tips on my mono tub construction? I only just now noc'd some Agar plates so I have plenty of time. Just wondering of any tips.
I tend to soak my grains prior to PC for 20 hrs. Closely following RR and Damion5050.
Thanks for any tips.

I’m in the desert with like 10-15% humidity and shoeboxes or underbed tubs work great for me if I keep the lids on or dubbed the whole time.
Pasty’s ez dial tubs are supposed to do well in dry climates also.
Basically the main things I learned are make the coir a little wetter, definitely put a top layer on at spawn, and when you make fae adjustments start very small. Like with my shoeboxes if I crack the lid 1/8 inch it’ll have a huge impact.

Goddamn, speaking of heat...
OP got tons of heat going in his ratings, then you see some of these race related posts and whatnot and it's like whoa... Bro. Eat more of the mushrooms you grow. Please... If not for yourself, for society. Was all that just trolling on some crazy level, or is that shit really how you feel???
SMH.
Anyways, yeah I would go with Pasty's new EZ dialed monos, and forgo the optional hole(s). If that isn't enough try taping the holes you do have with MP tape. Those things combined with good field capacity for your environment should hopefully be enough. I hate running unnecessary appliances like humidifiers if I can help it. Streamline all processes possible, and avoid waste, both in resources and effort. That is my program, and what I recommend to anyone that asks. A good example is your grain prep/ 20 hour soak, I recently cut that step as well with my new favorite grain/process. #NoPrepMilletGang
Best of luck, grow those boomers in good health. Mentally and Spiritually. I hope everything works out for ya.

Okay... Not touching your shit with a ten foot pole... Noted.
As someone who has received that "love" answer myself, I'm not going to try to convince you cuz you don't seem like the kind of guy that wants convincing. How did this happen to you? Poor thing. Seems like such an unpleasant way to view your world... Not just this shit you said here, but a lot of your posts are obscenely shameful and I wish better for you and those around you. We are all in this together man... Or not. I guess...
