Monotubs are rubbermaid bins the bottoms of which are completely filled with bulk substrate and spawn. If misted correctly, they will maintain their own humidity levels.

If you can avoid it, you want to avoid checking on monotubs while they're colonizing and never mist them. Mist only after the bulk has completely colonized or after casing.

After fully colonized, you can check/mist/fan as much as you desire. The nice thing about them is that you CAN neglect them and still get nice flushes, but you'll get optimal flushes if you fan and mist a couple times a day.

I personally disagree with the method of scratching the pinning surface with a fork. I've tried it, and NEVER had any success getting pins from this.

that is what I thought mono tubs were. scratching is a last resort to kotted up overlay.

As for mono tubs that are mesy. Cleaning the whole thing out and what not. I guess they are only ten bucks and you will get your money back if you trash it.
Anyways, the monto tub will keep the right humidity in the air but the casing layer can/will still dry out. Alos the water draoplets from the sides will soak the substrate which isnt good. That stagnent water isnt a good thing. Regualr casing trays will collect a little bit of water in the side but nothing compared to a mono tub

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

looks pretty decent to me.... just mist the sides once a day and in the air above the casings once or twice and fan twice a day... i wouldn't scratch though..... nice knots casing pulling away from the edge.......invest in a vicks cool mist so it does all the misting and faning for you

I'm going to let the first flush finish then I'm going to put a casing layer on and spray it down 2 times a day and see what happends. Sound good?

sounds good but there might already be a pin set. If you do not have a great result in this experiment you will have to try it next time when you case it. Spraying it twice a day might be too much, you just want to keep the mycelium from criss crossing the top of the casing layer. You want to see white but you want it just below the surface

Read up on the late casing strategy.

Might apply to you
