Hey guys thanks for your responses. I posted this just out of the sake of curiosity. I like seeing others ways of doing things and their results.
If any one wants to post there results with pics, specs, etc that would be cool.

hey Base Icks, thanks for taking interest in my tub. here are some pics.


 the top pic is Red Boy, the bottom two are Brazilian, I also had a Brazilian tub that looked like the Red Boy. Also I will take some pics, but I have to brazilian tubs that I've held in a constant knotting phase for the last week and a half+ with all 8 holes plugged up except the 2 on the short side as I've been busy, Lazy and forgot. except for the aprox 60 premords, the entire surface is covered in little white worts. (hyphial knotts). i'll post some pics as I just got the holes filled with poly fill and will keep people informed in this thread.

correct in sorts. these where from P-2 plates with 2 and 3 sectores prior to my full 100% P-3 iso. once again you can see the final results in the agar thread all on sweet potato agar.. stuff is the shit.

That's exactly what I did here:

Isolated down to 3-4 sectors, fruited out to see what would happen. Big mistake! 
Got about 7.5oz cracker dry off that one. I know the canopy doesn't look all that good, but the thing to keep in mind here is this fucker refuses to fruit solely on top. So, all 4 sides and even a little on the bottom look like this:

The left-hand of that side has been harvested already, to show contrast. GNARLY looking side fruits. I've grown 4 different strains now in the same environment, none of them sidepinned all crazy like that. Strain-specific bull-shit.
I've come to realize mushrooms are much more genetically predetermined than humans are. 
Like, the B+ gene pool I got from The Hawk's Eye... stems are ALWAYS SUPER hollow. Shoots my weight in the foot. I'm sure I'd be pulling ~8-9oz flushes with some better genetics. I have some PF Redspore clones on the way. I'm excited about those.

So we all know the standard set up of a mono, two two inch holes on both of the long sides at the sub level, and one 2 inch hole on the top of the short sides.
I read that cyanara was testing 1" holes instead at the sub level. I believe he was doing 4 1" holes on each of the long sides.
In theory this sounds like a good idea. It allows the GE/FAE to be distributed more evenly, and it also keeps the sub from drying out so much by each hole.
This line of thought is how I ended up with MSG tubs. More holes, smaller holes, better and more even air distribution.

Your setup is too complicated for me, man. 
Greenhouse, humidifier, fan for fresh air, and also shotgun-type dub-tubs, correct?
It obviously works of course, so good form.

Unpowered greenhouse. And I can use the tubs in room air also.

@doc-t, my original tub was a sot gun hybride, but didn't have enough 1/4" holes, then I got an 18 gallon tub and tried 1" holes but only put 4x of them 2 of them along the bottom long side on both side resulting in this massive but dwarfed B+ fruiting.
 regardless of what people say about the B+, these where some of the most down right visual mushrooms I or anyone has tasted.. this batch is legendary with the people who ate them.. then I added 2 more holes per long side for a total of 8 holes.. It wasn't till recently that I started experimenting with 6x 2" holes.. what I like about 10x 1" holes is not only soes it seem to promote faster pining but you always have 6 holes runing and can adjust by adding or subtracting the other holes rather than fucking with loosening or tightning the poly fill. just another way to skin a cat. @ Facey, although having a true Isolate is awesome, having variances in your batches is also fun as there is noting more beautiful than seeing the different phenotypes in cultures.. fun fun fun.

I've noticed everyone seems to be using polyfil.. Any thoughts on Tyvek? I know a few people have tried it, but I was hoping some more seasoned growers would chime in. The polyfill is a bit of a mess to work with in my mono. I like the clean undisrupted view I get from the tyvek.

I tried it, Tyvek never gave me enough FAE. I was using tyvek mailing envelopes though, which I have been told is not as good as other forms.

Boris and Barakanaten have used filter disks, or a cheap version of them in sheet form called EasyFelt.
I've finally got some and am going to experiment with some.

polyfill just happens to be very good at regulating air exchange and humidity. If u want more fae u can move the fan around without worrying about drying it out.

ya, i run a substantial ammount of tubs and never use a fan, bad Idea. Here are a few pics of the tubs decent pin set, the knotting was even and phenomenal but these are the two tubs that I held for nearly 2 weeks in a pining hold, meaning they where initiated but held them in a limbo cause I was in the woods for 8 days till I got back. next run I'll do a log detailing how the two top holes serve their purpose.

 it's kind of hard to see but all those white bumps are hyphial knotts.

I don't think a fan is a bad idea at all,
but if you're doing this:
without one, you're surely doing something right. I'm interested to hear it.
