Monotub hole distance frrm subtrate
    #12526800 - 05/08/10 11:28 AM (13 years, 10 months ago)

I'm currently waiting on my first monotub to colonize. It's going pretty good, but I have been reading a lot about people putting the holes right above the substrate, but my holes turned out to be almost 4 inches above where my substrate ended up being. I have 6 holes about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Will this be sufficient for FAE or should I maybe drill a few smaller holes near the surface of the substrate to help drain CO2 once fruiting begins?

It's good that you are aware that you will need the co2 to expell, but wait until you introduce fruiting conditions to make more holes.substrate depths should be no more than 5-6 " , so next time, make your holes by measuring first, ,.................I am sure you have already come to this conclusion though.

Just more validation of the above:  You definitely need more holes just above your substrate (within an inch but the closer the better).  The alternative to drilling more holes would be fanning the CO2 off all the time.  This would of course, negate a major impetus of the monotub which is ease of use.  If you do drill more holes you may need to make the polyfill a little tighter on some of them to make up for humidity lost through the extra holes.

How many more holes should I make when I do it and how big (or small) can I get away with?

That's a tough call because there are so many variables and I don't know what you're tub looks like.  The easiest thing to do would probably just drill more 1 and 1/2 inch holes right above your sub and then just tape the middle holes (formerly your misplaced lower holes) up.  Then if you find out later you need more FAE just untape a hole or two and fill with polyfill.
