Curiosity_Breach said: ok thats kind of frustrating. Here is a fucking guru giving me advice and apparently another respected member contradicting it. soooo can i get some more opinions? i can throw the polyfill back in or i can keep it out but i kinda need to know why its such a big deal either way. seems to me there wouldnt be much FAE with polyfill stuffed in there? this is my first monotub so plz help me out here.....
by the way i did follow RR's tek with hundreds of holes on my cakes (first grow) and was successful. In fact i got better pinsets than most first timers ive seen. as far as the same thing for a monotub as a fruiting chamber, ive heard nothing of this until now. I think its kinda too late cuz i have my tubs all cut up the way they are. It seems to work for most people, also it seems like a lot of work to cover up 200 holes lol.
ok
first, the hundreds of holes "shotgun chamber" is NOT a monotub, a monotub needs only about 8-10 3/8th inch holes.
during colonization, wax paper over the top of the sub keeps co2 in, which colonizing myc prefers co2, FAE is for fruiting, keep the polyfil in the holes, put it back, remove the waxpaper when the sub is 100% colonized.
too many holes in a MONOTUB will let out humidity.
I suggest searching the forums for "Ohmatic's Monotubs Tek" and follow that for a monotub.
I have deleted all of my teks/grow logs. Or i would direct you to them. One day i'll put them back up.
My stay here right now is very temporary.
