The Plan

This will be my third grow and I'd like to expand from the PF tek in a SG Fruiting chamber so tell me what you think:
10 cc's into 10 WBS Pint Jars using Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tech
Cased using Damion 5050's Elementary Coir Tech (I couldn't use the 5 Quart Jars due to having a smaller pressure cooker and I may add 3-5% gypsum)
Colonized and fruited with Doc-T's Mini Mono Tub Setup (I will most likely use a plastic bag lining for the bottom part)
Is this a solid game-plan? Is there anything I might have missed? any other suggestions?
Many thanks Shroomery!

It's not my wbs tek, different guy. I do grains like in RR's vids.

I was thinking of doing something very similar for my next grow. I'm thinking cracked corn and verm as my spawn, and then following the same coir tek, and doing Wronguy's Double Tub Tek as my fruiting chamber. I think all should work well for you as long as you make sure you are doing everything in a sterile environment and make sure not to oversoak your wbs.

Dubtubs can be drilled shotgun-style too, just like a monotub.
Also, cracked corn is unfriendly to work with, try rye. Worth the cost.

Do you think it would be better to do it shotgun style, or to simply do it as per the instructions of the tek. I don't like that all of the little holes have no filtration, where the big holes I would use polyfill.
I'm still kinda unsure about rye. I've looked at a BUNCH of different grain tek's until my eyeballs started melting. I've heard pros and cons of each, just I think knowing my own tendency to get too analytical with my methodology, that my rye would either start growing or be too wet. I don't know though. Still waiting on my cakes to finish before I even head down that road.

Rye is 100x easier than corn. I gave up on polyfil holes and only do shotgun style- but plenty of people use it love it. Try both, I say.

Explain why you have the shotgun styles inside a greenhouse?

For the sake of learning, I may do an experimental batch of both. That would allow me to see which works better for me. I've seen some killer flushes off of rye though. I guess I'll just see which substrate my spores like more and go with it.
I have a shotgun terrarium already for my cakes. I think I will try both, simply because I simply don't have a fucking clue WHAT will work best. Oh well. Trying things is the only way one learns.

I live in the desert and have to run a humidifier outside my sgfc just to keep the perlite damp for longer than 2 weeks. My RH is <20%. If I had a greenhouse it would be much better. I imagine the same goes for Doc in CO.

Oh, I was always under the impression that people in arid climates used whole-house humidifiers.
I live in a moist climate, but the home inspector still recommended one due to the forced air heating system.

Not in summer. Yeah, I use the grenhouse as a stable environment for small independent tubs.

Tub size should be 18 gallons based on the amount of spawn and casing material from Damion's Elementary Coir Tech (5 Quarts of grain spawn, 2 Quarts of Verm, 1 Brick of Coir)?
With SG holes approx. 4 1/2 inches from the bottom? I dont want my total volume of stuff to be above the first holes.
Also, should the plastic bag be opened every couple of days during colonization to allow for good GE?
