polyfill vs Tyvek as contam barrier?
    #7787095 - 12/21/07 08:39 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Would affixing Tyvek over ventilation holes of a fruiting chamber work instead stuffing with polyfill?

You don't cover the holes of a FC only those in a monotub.

Here's a link.
Here's another one.
I am going to assume you mean tub set-ups. By the way, polyfill is literally everywhere.

Not nessary, theres no need to filter air going in and out of your fruiting chamber.

I think in a monotob, the the large holes allow for good fae and the polyfill keeps the humidity in (and i suppose it filters some things out)

I could be wrong though.

With your fruiting chamber, lots of small holes (like in rr's video) should provide good fae between u misting, without drasticaly effecting RH.

isnt a monotub a frutiing chamber?

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.

Hard to say, isn't it. It's more of a container than a fruiting chamber. You don't humidify it with anything much and it contains the substrate.

I don't know what i'd call it.

Semantic arguments suck. It's a chamber you're fruiting in, isn't it? If people can't make the distinction without others spelling it out for them, then there is no hope. Regardless, polyfill in monotub holes seems to be preferred over tyvek... at least in what I've read.

i dont think tyvek would provide nearly as much fae as poly-fil. Im also pretty sure that tyvek is a much finer filter (only smaller microns can pass through)

and poly-fil definately is a filter for a mono-tub, although is does many other things too.
