you've got it 
take a tub, no idea of its dimensions.
aim for a mix of 1q spawn to 3q substrate, and an overall depth of 3-4 inches.
for any bulk sub, one handful (after pasteurisation) squeezed should be just letting go
a drip or two any more, squeeze EACH HANDFUL individually itll save you lots of probs
mix spawn with sub, put tinfoil on top, tightly, tuck it down VERỲ softly,
poke some holes, cover the tub with a clean bathtowel.
let incubate, check, case if wish, plug holes with polyfill, mist.

awesome. ill probably end up not even using a casing layer...
so after this just have an osscillating fan in the room, mist maybe once a day?
also im using damions tek for the sub. I need to look at how big these bags actually are compared to qt jars because I think theyre a bit bigger, ill probably need another coir brick
Thanks!
Edit, sorry I might have missed it in the thread but what size holes are you using?
Also, when you mix the grains and sub, with the holes covered with that tape, do you put the box in a black trash bag> Thats what I was told to do in the last tek

no idea about hole size, larger than my thumb
and for colonisation i dont like plastic bags as they are airtight,
put some dark blankets/clearn bathtowels over it if u must, they let some gas through,

No trashbag also no darkness during colonization.
Do it this way.

No, the polyfil is for keeping humidity. You don't want to duct tape your holes. WHat we mean like " in nature" is simply that mushrooms don't thrive in an anaerobic environment.
The sun beats down and naturally pasteurizes manure or poo of mulch, or compost or whatever medium it happens to be.... Then mycillium can colonize it.
This does not happen in a sealed up environment without oxygen. 
The saran wrap seals the top and the polyfil allows filtered gases to exchange, allowing robust heathy growth.
Here is an example.
This tub colonized all the way from 0% -> 100% in light with nothing but Saran wrap, polyfil, and a black liner under the substrate.
 
.... No outer bag, no duct tape!!!!!
I repeat myself. If you want good yeilds colonized all the way from 0% -> 100% in light with nothing but Saran wrap, polyfil, and a black liner under the substrate.
 
I'm not knocking anyone, trusted cultivators included, I'm just saying I know what I am doing.
I have been through it all. I have had contamination, poor yeilds, Over-hydration issues, Dried out substrates. .....
This process takes fine tuning to get down. I have been doing it for years and this is what I have learned to be true. I am a scientist and hold a research degree from a major university. I have been cultivating fungi since biology class during my undergrad. This is my advice......
Do with it what you wish

Thanx to the prof.

What is the best depth for a monotub substrate? 4-6 in? Also if you used smaller trays in a monotub set up (to make sure one won't f all). Are there any mods you would recommend or basically the same set up?

Hey Ohmatic, following your tek and have 3 different kinds of tubs/buckets colonizing my spawn/sub now at 5 days. Everything is turning white, its like christmas, I love it.
I have all of the holes taped up and towels over the containers just waiting for full colonization to switch to fruiting conditions. BUT In regards to Prof's message a few above, what do you think about having polyfil in with light for colonization the entire time?
