Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
directing a first fluid into one or more pockets of a body of a monotub system via a first passage fluidly coupled with the one or more pockets, the one or more pockets disposed within one or more of plural surfaces of the body, the one or more plural surfaces defining an interior cavity, wherein the body comprises an upper portion including one or more side surfaces of the plural surfaces and a bottom portion including a bottom surface of the plural surfaces, wherein the upper portion extends between the lower portion and a cover extending over a portion of an opening of the interior cavity, wherein directing the first fluid into the passage inflates the one or more pockets with the first fluid and changes a state of the body to an inflated state, wherein the monotub system is configured to be in the inflated state during a growing process for growing mycological products;
directing at least a portion of a second fluid mixture out of the interior cavity via one or more second passages extending through the one or more of the side surfaces during the growing process;
directing at least some air into the interior cavity via the one or more second passages extending through the one or more side surfaces during the growing process;
determining whether the state of the body needs to change based on completion of the growing process of the mycological products;
directing at least some of the second fluid mixture out of the interior cavity via a third passage extending through one of the plural surfaces of the body responsive to the completion of the growing process; and
directing at least a portion of the first fluid out of the one or more pockets via the first passage responsive to determining that the state of the body needs to change, wherein directing the at least the portion of the first fluid out of the one or more pockets deflates the one or more pockets and changes the state of the body to a deflated state.
