1. A monotub system comprising:
a flexible body comprising plural surfaces defining an interior cavity, one or more of the plural surfaces comprising a pocket disposed within the one or more of the plural surfaces, wherein the plural surfaces include plural side surfaces and a bottom surface of the body,
the flexible body comprising a first passage extending into one of the plural surfaces, the first passage fluidly coupled with one or more of the pockets of the plural surfaces, wherein a first fluid is configured to be directed into or out of the first passage,
wherein directing the first fluid into the first passage inflates one or more of the pockets with the first fluid, and directing the first fluid out of the first passage deflates one or more of the pockets, wherein the one or more pockets are configured to be inflated during a growing process of a product within the interior cavity of the flexible body, and
wherein the flexible body comprises plural third passages extending through one or more of the plural side surfaces, one or more of the plural third passages configured to be open during the growing process of the product to allow gas generated during the growing process of the product to move out of the interior cavity and to allow air to move into the interior cavity during the growing process.
