How to check the RH of a monotub?
    #28668073 - 02/20/24 11:51 AM (10 months, 21 days ago)

Hi all. I’m trying to figure out how the heck to check the RH of my monotub. I can’t put a hydrometer on the inside because the humidity will either fog it up or will make it not be able to stick to the side. I’ve done a lot of research and can’t get a definitive answer on whether I should but misting everyday or letting fresh air in so I’m confused.


However

I have two mono tubs and only using one right now so I did create a test subject with a second monotub. Used about four hand fulls of casing and set a hydrometer in there. It has stayed around 80% humidity and I see no water droplets.

The actual tub that I am growing in has a little bit of droplets and obviously more casing and mycelium in it so I’m assuming it’s over 90 but just want to be sure. I have attached the best picture I can get, the pictures are at 7 days.

Did you get the hygrometer as part of a kit? You don’t need it.

Don't need to know RH, just need the surface to be happy. The surface is your hygrometer. Read about ideal surface conditions.

Thank you, I will try to find some articles. My first grow went horrible though. There was too much humidity and it was like a damn rainforest so I’m nervous 😂

The hygrometer belongs in your room,
so you know about your evaporation rate.
I guess you live in a region with high humidity?
So you want tubs with proper air movement.

I'd rip off the sfd's from the tub and use them for proper jar lids.
Then i'd make some ez dial tubs.
Finally just care for this.

Nope it’s low humidity I’m just stupid and put the monotub in a green house not understanding the purpose of a green house 😫
