why use polyfill?
    #7849811 - 01/08/08 07:15 PM (16 years, 24 days ago)

I'm still havin a little trouble wrapping my mind around this. is polyfill only keeps contams out, but doesn't allow enough fae, why use it? If you can just drill a few holes in it for fae and that doesn't risk contamination too much, whats the reason for polyfill?

Where did you pick up the idea that polyfill doesn't provide enough fae?

Look at monstermitch's monotubs. polyfil for fae and great results.

Poly fill is for mono tubs and allows enough Fae and holds in the moister so no spraying is required.

Holes are for shotgun style terrariums that would need misting and another source or moister.

ok. completely understood now. i've only had one successful grow. my fc was just a small container with wet perlite. i cut out most of the top and taped polyfill into it. it worked perfectly fine. i thought someone told me the other day that it wouldn't allow enough fae but i probably just misunderstood.

thanks a lot fellas
