Multiple Monotub Humidity System
    #28566700 - 12/03/23 12:21 PM (5 months, 12 days ago)

Hello fellow growers,
I am excited to be making my first post in this forum, although I have been a longtime beneficiary of the wealth of knowledge shared here. I have successfully applied various techniques and tips from this community to different scales of my growing journey, and I am now eager to contribute and seek feedback on a new project.
I have been conceptualizing an advanced monotub setup and would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism or insights from the experienced growers here. While I have achieved success with hand watering my cubes in the past, and a 40gal ultrasonic setup has worked wonders in my culinary fruiting room, I am now considering a more high-tech approach so my monotub grow as I explore scaling up my operations.
I look forward to engaging with the community and learning from your expertise. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.

What are your questions?

And this is for cubes?

Seems like a lot of work for just cubes.

But could be good for other exotics or edibles

I'm curious about other experiences with automated RH control for mono tubs.

I agree, its defiantly excessive for cubes, but I'm living with an electrical engineer now and they were interested in designing the micro controller for a multi tub system.  I will also share the circuit design if we go through with it for other electrical enthusiasts that might be interested.

it will certainly be expanded to incorporate some of the culinary strains i also like to cultivate.

I'm an engineer, that doesn't mean I felt the need to overengineer bs.

Sorry if I'm harsh.

None of this is necessary.

If you check back on this thread let me say that controlling smaller environments with controllers that read humidity ect are a recipe for issues. based on my own experience and the info in the following link....
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27993602/page/2

That post is the one of the lifelines for getting a tent going if you check my posts in a day or two i will post info on my current setup... somewhere... THERE IS NO BENIFIT FOR almost all CUBES TO  A AUTOMATED / HUMIDIFIER SETUP...

Tubs side by side same grain spawn dub tub vs tent = same yield different pros/ cons... the biggest con is there is no major increase in yield for the major increase in costs. But its fun..

There other info i can give if serious about making a elabarote setup. its fun.  evaporation is key :smile:

I have been thinking about something similar. One issue I am concerned with is letting the system drain off excess condensation that will form as the fog moves through main tube. It could possibly build up more than is desirable and become stagnant. Depending on that it could introduce issues in the chambers of standing water.

Have you looked at making your larger cross tube with a slope to allow for runoff?

No one is really looking here anymore i think. suggest reading my comment.

Automating small environments  is hard. The cheaper meters for measuring RH wont work they become saturated at the high humidity/ ultrasonic mist. making timers pretty much the only way.

There's info but it is not recommended to Reinvent the wheel.
TENTS ARE GREAT FOR GOURMETS. but then your focus should be on how much Fresh air can you get your grow area. and try to maintain humidity with constant fan :smile:. The best gourmets *size wise* grow outside. you can do tents outside too... Sawdust/wood blocks hold moisture very well.

Cubes wouldn't benifit much from all this effort.

I did see your other post. Lots of great information in that, Thanks. I am looking to expand past cubes and get into other medicinal varieties and culinary ones. I don't have a tent, tubs and cakes for my cubes. Just looking to the future as I get my techniques improved. I do appreciate all the info.
