Anybody use 10 gallon tubs for monotubs?? Do you have pics?
    #11000547 - 09/04/09 06:39 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I'm curious.
Do any of you use 10 gallon tubs for monotubs? I can't find many pictures of 10 gallons in use.

Any reason why a 10 gallon would NOT be good?

Thanks

Do a search for mini-monotubs.  10 gal is fine, just use less bulk.  You want your bulk to be 3-4 inches.  You can use this to convert the cubic inches of the tub into the amount of bulk you are using (quarts, pints).  Just take the width times length of your tub, and times that by 3 or 4 inches.

i like 10 gallon tubs, they work fine, i've also used 92 quart tubs, i think i like the 10 gallon a little better, it's just easier to deal with IMO:wink:

hay cubstop, normally you would want to put a few holes at substrate level and a few up closer to the top for kinda like a convection action, but i don't use much polly fill, i only use it for fine tuning RH so i like to keep the bottom holes up from the sub a couple of inches, i use inch and quarter holes and you could put as many as you want, you can cover them as you see fit, as long as they get fresh air and you keep RH up, and keep the sub hydrated you cant loose. FYI more air movement helps keep the mean green away. hope that helps. good luck:sunny:

I have used both 10 gallon and 18 gallon  containers for my monotubs.

Both have eight 1 1/2" polyfilled holes.

The 18 gallon monotubs have done much better than the 10 gallon units ...... I am thinking the eight 1 1/2" holes were a little much for my 10 gallon tubs in my conditions.

I like the idea of more 1/4" holes ... ala shotgun style .... you've got to fiddle around a bit to get the balance between moisture retention and FAE.

Thanks for the reply fungus, I have always read that you need 4 holes 2 inches two sides.
First set of holes at sub depth, Which would be 4-5 inches second set 6-8 inches above that.

That is the reason I ask,If i go with a smaller tub then what im doing now I will not be able to do the normal hole configuration.

I guess from what I'm reading and seeing you can make the holes any size and any where you want on the tubs? Correct?

I'm just trying to get a basic point of view so I have something to go off of when I get the material.

Any more input from you or others would be helpful :thumbup:

Four ounces dry if everything goes OK.
