Can some one please tell me how monotubs keep there humidity up its very confusing to me. Also if there are any good teks with pics that would be great. Could you just do like a PMP but put subsatrate on the perlite then case it and have like bubble bars under it all??? Thanks for the help.

A mono tub is just a bulk substrate in a tub. The casing keeps the humidity up.

Monotubs keep their humidity by using polyfill. This allows for air exchange, but not enough to harm anything and lower humidity. Check out my signature link for my monotub grow. The humidity stays "UP" by the casing layer.
You can NOT put the substrate on the perlite (unless you are doing cakes, which you couldn't use a monotub for anyway). There is a big difference in the monotub and the PMP.

Here is my mono-tub. Im going to expand to 4 in total. with one being filled using 3inch spawn when my poo is ready.

one smallhole on other side of hose. about 1/8th inch size, no covering. I might add a computer fan to suck out the air when the coolmist is on...to help with air flow.
inside.
  
Coolmist on every 2hours for 20min. I also fan with the lid when I wake up, and before I sleep. I didnt have time to fan when the monster was growing. so the coolmist gives enough FAE. IME of course...

mushboy, what you made is not a monotub.
Monotubs have ONLY polyfill holes without forced air exchange. You made a variation of a PMP, but it a MUCH better way. Good job! I just hope your casings won't become saturated.

oh lol i thought it was a mono-tub since it had 1tub. hahahah
oh well.. the casings stay perfect. ive never had any contams using this tub/pmp.
id imagine it will work better once i splice the hose into another tub. that way i could leave it on longer for more FAE
