How soon after bubblewrapTek did you guys see pins? * 1
    #27283123 - 04/26/21 07:54 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Also, I've noticed the sides and lid of my tub lose condensation way faster than the underside of the bubblewrap. Is it okay to just mist the walls? Or will this lead to pooling on the wrap?

I tried bubble wrap when my tubs seem to be losing moisture too quickly. If there is a fan in that room try turning it down. I ended up just putting the entire tub I'm bags. Only dealt with it in one spot I was at, when it was super dry.
I think you can use wax paper too, cheaper and easier to clean.

I'm pretty sure it's just laying a sheet of bubble wrap on your sub bubble side down. Something about microclimates and moisture blah blah.

If you prep right your tub should be set and forget. Even if you work long hours you can check your tub before/after work. It won't shrivel up while you're out, we promise.

Bubble wrap is fun though. Pop Pop.

sounds like a bandaid on a broken bone. dial in your monotubs instead of trying gimmicks.

heres frank's method for polyfil. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17332777/fpart/all/vc/1

I use a single layer of micropore tape and that works for me.

I at one point would lose moisture rapidly from completely closed tubs. Which I realized had more to do with the unnecessary big fan, and how dry it was during the summer.
My tubs lids didn't fit very well either... From leaving them outside and shit.

I used bubble wrap tek on my first grow, but I also did a casing layer and let it fully colonize first. I saw pins within 4 days of laying bubble wrap, and 7 days after adding the casing layer.

You mist the tub, fan it, and then lay a sheet of bubble wrap on the substrate, bubble side down, so it traps the water but the space between the bubbles allows it to evaporate and fall again. The only reason I did it is because my air is really dry, and using it I went from misting 2-3 times a day to 1.


I'm still new to this, I'm just explaining it as I understand it, not really advocating it either.

alaxander, in the future i’d recommend just try changing up your mono tubs. i live a very arid environment as well & have found running pastywhyte’s modded monos w a layer of micropore tape over the holes has given me great results. i also add a decently thick casing layer of coir at spawn & give it a solid mist. both these things have helped me combat my relatively low humidity & keep surface conditions prim & proper. dunno how you had yours set up but it would be worth a shot


also you don’t need to fan anything ever!!

Bubble wrap, wax paper, plastic bag... I have never attempted such a thing. I'd imagine a sweet casing layer wud do ya jst fine bud. Maybe jiffy mix or make your own 2/2/1.

Tubs don't need fanning, or bubble wrap. Just misting if they dry out. Fanning causes more problems than it's worth.

Yes pinning is triggered by evoporation but I seem to get enough if I just crack one corner of my tubs lid after full colonization.i use this same method for a 64qt tub or a 6 qt shoebox

Good information hazyhorse! I've been using unmodified shoeboxes, but I certainly plan to get a Monotub (I actually bought a tub intended for a Monotub, but ended up turning it into a SAB.) truth be told I only tried it because I couldn't get my tub to stay moist, shroomery was down from the hack, and some dude on reddit recommended it and sent it with a cached thread from this site.
It was my first grow so I'm content with it overall, but I'll give that a go soon. I have a shipment of agar and all sorts of myco supplies on the way and I'm pretty excited.

i usually use unmodified shoeboxes too. usually, as long as i keep them shut the whole way through colonization. i’ve found that when i was opening them up 10x a day to check on them, i was releasing a lot of the moisture the lid was trapping in there. it helps a lot to set & forget imo. i love shoeboxes & sweater boxes so no hate towards those at all. monos are cool, but i usually run mini monos (like 30qt) bc the 66qt+ ones are just unnecessarily large for what i’m currently working with. like i said, the casing layer at spawn & misting should help next time if you didn’t do that on your last grow. you also wanna make sure the field capacity of your substrate is correct too, as that can really fuck with the over all moisture of your sub & surface. & don’t worry if you don’t see little beads of water on the myc when the surface isn’t fully colonized; i’ve noticed (& seen others mention) that often times  it won’t bead up until the surface is mostly/fully colonized. obviously your conditions still need to be correct from the get go, though.

lmao yeah there was your first problem. i have to imagine the thread he sent was rather old as i doubt that would have flown here in the past 6 years. i def feel it though, the site being down made shit really hard. i’m just glad i had the foundation i did bc if i was still learning while the site was down it woulda been a nightmare. i tried using reddit & it was just so... bad lol. i’m glad you still saw results though!! always good to get at least a few mushies & it’s about learning for the next one

have fun with agar!! it’s super easy to make no pour plates & will really elevate your game
