I'm not a fan of monotubs. I have always had trouble keeping them moist enough, and I like to squeeeeeeeeeze every last mushroom I can out of substrates. Which means as many redunks as possible. I've had cakes go to 5 flushes. You get like... maybe one or two mushrooms out of them at that point, if anything but I still try! I can't figure out a good way to dunk a monotub.
Instead I prefer a number of small trays in a fruiting chamber, cause you can dunk em! I think it's a little easier too, since if you do get a contam it's easier to isolate it.

^^^ Best way to dunk a mono is dowel rods. Insert them through the holes and out the other side to support the substrate. I also have one going leangthwise for extra FAE let alone extra support dunking.

so you dunk, and then you are turning the tub upside down to let the water drain out and the rods are to keep the substrate in?
Tell me I am imagining that properly.

Yes indeed. I don't necessarily turn it upside down. I just get the water out and it supports the substrate. 4 hours is perfect for dunking a mono.
