Monotub, is peat moss needed?
    #5655335 - 05/21/06 02:56 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Ok, so I forgot to buy some peat moss. To keep humidity is a casing needed? if so, is just verm good enough or is the peat moss needed?

Are the polyfill holes needed? for Hpoo would it be better to have the filtered air exchange rather than fanning?

you can buy jiffy mix at wally world for just a few bucks it makes perfect casings. as for the air exchange i would reccomend polyfill as opposed to fanning cause if you open the fc to fan contams can get in. hope this helps good luck

If you are fanning, then you are not using a monotub. The whole purpose of this method is to set it and forget it. NO opening the tub. NO fanning. No matter what.

I quit using a casing layer with my monotub. My pinset it a bit weaker (only a tad) than with the casing. But the humidity stays perfectly in a monotub without a casing layer, while still allowing for adequate air exchange.

Before you proceed. Make sure you have your terminology correct. Mono and double tubs have polyfill. No other tubs do. And if you are fanning your grow, you are not using a monotub. :smile:
