Casing - Martha or Monotub
    #7903159 - 01/19/08 07:40 PM (16 years, 13 days ago)

I have a Martha going with cool mist and ultrasonic, and everything seems to be running beautifully for my cakes. Now with my new casings, I am wondering if I should go to monotub (as it is the "norm" for people around here it seems, even if they are relatively new.

Is the monotub much easier to maintain, and has the same results as the martha? Money isn't much of a factor, as I have plenty. Anyone use both?

Any advice is appreciated.

Monotubs need to be fanned or Have a FAE somehow, they take
up less room. But its really your call if you wanna do it.

Personally I would have tried a monotub before a martha,
is your martha doing well? If so then its just a question
of if you wanna spend the money and time to do a mono.

Do you even know what a monotub is? The whole idea is that they don't need to be fanned.

im sure fanning them couldn't hurt... at least once a day. that or just having a fan blow around them.

I'm refering to a montub tek where I put in the polyfill, using a double-double stack on each other. Apparently you don't open until harvest, and the casing layer provides enough humidity to maintain the chamber.

one of the benefits of a monotub is that you DONT have to fan it, ideally you keep it closed until you harvest.

but there is no real reason to go from a martha to a monotub, you can accomplish the same results in both environments. just use casings in the martha and essentially you are doing the same thing. i would prefer the martha since you have more control over Rh and FAE, in my opinion the monotub is great but if you already have a martha and you are providing optimal fruiting environments there is no need to switch

No need for a fan. Just place them in a room that has some kind of air flow and not in an isolated area like a closet.

just stick with you martha... I have got awesome pinsets on my casing now in my martha, and actually gives me about 3 1/2 square feet of growing space, which is just slightly less than my automated tubs did, but this is vertical and takes up alot less room.. I could fit 4 marthas in my closet the same size as the one I got, as opposed to running hoses to 10 different tubs stacked on top of eachother... they are wonderful FC's.. no need to switch... that's like going from prime rib, to weird brother of prime rib.. haha... Im not against monotubs, but if you already got a martha, then there is no need to switch...

well .. those polyfill stuffed holes are there for a reason you know..
fanning wont hurt, not a doubt - however its all about redundancy.

Running hoses to 10 different tubs? For what? All you have to do is build the monotub and run a fan in the room that all your tubs are in. They keep their own humidity also.
