-when im incubating in my monotubs, do i put tape or something over my polyfil holes(removing polyfil, and replacing when in fruiting)?
-im going to need to put a blanket over my monotubs to keep them warm enough, will it be a problem by rubbing on my polyfil?
-do i need to keep them from light while incubating?
-right now i have 4 tubs, two on top of two, i plan on growing top two, while bottom two incubate, but my flushes will run into eachother, can they grow with minimal lighting(the botom ones)or should i spread them out to make 4 in a row?
im sure ill thin of more, but its good to have a thread dedicated to my numerous Q's
thanks all

please respond.
especially to this one, im doing some major construction to my room, and i need to know if two little computer fans facing directly down on the monotubs from about 2 foot above will provide sufficient amount of air flow.

If you have properly placed holes with polyfill, you will only need a fan in the room. Dosent need to be pointed right at them.
You do not need the blanket. If your room temps are 70-75 then That is perfect for colonizing and fruiting. No need for incubation in these temps.
I would tape the holes for simlpe fact they are going to be on the ground and it will help keep contams out. Remove tape when 100% colonized and fruiting starts.
You should have one row of four because light is very important. It you want maximum results out of those tubs, use a dual flourescent 24 inch light fixture with 6700k bulbs in them for each tub. This is not overkill. If all other parameters are meet, this will result in hundreds of pins. No Joke.
You can cover each one with a bag to keep light out until fruiting time, then turn on lights with a 12/12 light cycle.
-------------------- "For best results, learn to work with nature rather than against it. Mycelium has an amazing ability to cope with less than optimal conditions, and will often fruit when a grower does everything wrong. However, do everything right and watch your performance go through the roof." RR

ok, that is my room temps, maybe a lil more!
what do you mean by tape the holes? like micropore tape over them, or duct tape, or like teape the polyfil around the edges? they arent on the ground either.
i dont have quite that much lighting, but i think what i have might be sufficient, if it isnt ill get more. i just built this yesterday! cheack it out and post some feedback!
