I have a fairly large foam cooler, holds about 12 .5 pint jars next to eachother, my question is if i can spawn to h poo instead of doing cakes but from the same cooler meaning it wont be cased from a tray but rather the cooler would be the tray. would i need to use perlite I will be opening holes for FAE< will the spawn sub create enough hum so perlite wont be needed or will this just be a waste of time? my last attempt of casing resulted in 5 cased cakes producing about 5 dry gram.. PATHETIC RESULTS.. hopefully someone with exp. will give me thebest advice, thanks all.

No perlite needed. You may want to pollyfill some holes in the sides for FAE and put a trash bag down on the bottom before you dump the HP in...

Might as well upgrade to a rubber maid tub... The deeper the substrate the bigger the mushrooms... Usually, if all other variables are accounted for...

Get a plastic tub that fits inside, don't ruin your cooler. Then mist and fan as needed.

It keeps the water in the air that is inevitably going to condensate and run down the sides of your FC from touching your substrate. So curl the ends so that all water rolling down will fall behind the plastic and not pool in the plastic making your substrate soggy and overly water logged.

Black trash bags also block ling witch can cause "fat asses". Its when your shroomies just kinda go blah.. They grow but all f'd up and fat or knotty and they stay pretty small in this state of blah... Just not an aesthetically pleasing mushroom atall.

The point of the black bag is to keep light off the sides of the substrate so it focuses its energy in fruiting up, the best way. I cant "tell" you what to do... See how long i've been a member on the shroomery, no offense but do some research. There is a great post search engine that can direct to whatever it is you may need to find out...

definitely use a bag. it helps moderate moisture a lot. That cooler will work fine as a monotub. With 11 cakes, you should probably go with 6 quarts of sub.

Yup yup.
Try it out ahead of time and see how thick of a sub that gives you (obviously the cakes will add some).
If it seems too thin, add more accordingly until you have 4 inches or so.
Btw the way i got 6 was 11 pints=2.75 quarts * 2 for a 1:2 ratio = roughly 6. You can go higher than 1:2, but when you're first starting out u want a guaranteed success.

that tub looks tiny, 6 quarts of sub and 11 half pints would probably fill it halfway up.

how does a bag help "moderate moisture"
to moderate is to "reduce in excess of"
last time i checked, if anything, a bag would hold in moisture.
what a bag DOES do is cling to your substrate, keeping your pins forming on top of your substrate and not on the sides where it can be hard to reach. also, if you fold down your bags, when your done with it, you can just pull them up, tie them off, and throw them away.
besides that, bin liners/trashbags don't do much at all.
