Mini monos, second flush is done. Dubtubs have completed flush #1.

Mini monos, yield in grams

1            55          19.3
2            58          70.5
3            35          20.7

Dub Tubs, yield in grams
Tub #  Flush 1
1            77.6
2            62.3
3            48.9
4            35.9

Already it's evident that the 6qt tubs do a better job in terms of substrate efficiency.
And they are space-efficient too. Same footprint in the greenhouse, but they take a lot less room during colonization.
I don't usually get more than two flushes- a grower who does might get more out of the deeper mini mono substrate.

This grow went fast enough that I didn't need to mist the dubtubs, but that's not typical, they generally need some spray.
The mini monos are pretty much hands-off in the greenhouse. In room air, I would mist about once a day.

So for me and my style and my current setup, it's clear that the 6qt tubs win out over mini monos.

And I'll be taping tubs from now on.
I've proven that it makes a difference in some cases at least, and it does no harm. Might help the tubs last longer too.

You're welcome. I generally get an ounce+ for the first flush, you're right on track.
I dunk them in the tray- fill it, snap the lid on. Wait, then turn it over and drain well.

Cheers!!!!  Thanks Doc, the tek kix arse, I plan to post my little idea in a copule weeks.
4 six qts in an under the bed dub tub!!!!  My idea I guess is that the four tubs will create a stable enviro in the under bed dub tubs..... We'll see.
Imma let you boys argue about kitchen utensils now
(measuring cups, bad joke? )
