Milk jug maybe, or juice container. Put it in thru the top w/ a funnel, put polyfill in the hole.

this one was a bad example...just showin the concept, this was 2nd flush.

I've been thinking of a way to do small trays for fast product, although it wont be alot and I thought about doing shalow trays. Don't know the outcome, but 1 qrt isn't alot of spawn to work with.

I just did a mini bucket mono with 1 qt of spawn.
Take a small toy bucket. 2 holes low, 2 high, spawn and cover for primo results.

Working on plastic coffee cans now with approx 1/2 qrt of spawn to approx 1.5 quart hpoo verm coir gypsum. Incubating now, will use shower cap when fruiting. But I plan on trying a 1 or 2 inch sub in the future.

if your sub is too shallow (1 inch) you will have tiny fruits...
go for 4 inch!

1 inch = small, but faster colonizing. I'm just playing with the idea of producing fast for some occasions where somebody has a time frame in mind. Seen that question many times around here so it gives me something to do & won't affect my regular grow.

7.2qt latchbox 2qts coir - 1 qt spawn

it did much better spawned to coir than just cased with 50/50+...
pretty well over 1oz dry every flush, where as a tray could maybe pull a 15-19 dry grams..
mini monos ftw!

What was your time frame though? Never mind that is off thread topic.

time frames really shouldnt matter in the long run of which proves to get the best bang for your buck..
i for one, love quality over quantity so i dont mind the little bit of extra wait time.

i saw those, i thought they would be a little too small? to facilitate my 4 inches of spawn and sub, then room for fruits...i opted for the plasic filing tubs.

they actually work pretty well. i had the same doubts when i tested the first one, but they pushed out a few flushes of medium sized fruits.
i dont use them as my main means of growing, obviously.....i only use the mini monos when i have an extra quart laying around, or a couple test jars.
i seem to get a lot of side pins tho with the minis, not sure why

1q of spawn is plenty for a standard mono. You can go 1:4 on the ratio, use Damion5050's coir tek and just use half the substrate which gives you 4q. As long as you're not using a gigantic tub (50q or smaller) you should be fine.

To me the standard tub is the one that'll take a full brick of coir and 10 quarts of spawn. When it comes to the small tub I can't even think of what the standard would be. DocT's preferred models with the solid tops?

Yeah I used standard very loosely there, sorry for the confusion. The standard I think of is the 10 gallon Sterilite, the silver ones that are opaque. I've seen them used quite a few times.

I seriously do not see the mass appeal in Doc's shotgun style mini mono's. Nothing against him but compared to a normal style small mono with 1-2 inch holes...all the shotgun style mini mono's ive seen have not performed as well...

I'm not a big fan either, but I know not of these "regular small mono with 1-2 inch holes".
How can it be small and regular.

I mean small size mono, regular setup.
So everything the same as you would with a normal mono, but make the holes 1 inch to 1.5 inch in diameter. just scale the whole thing down. works well.

I believe u, but I'd hardly call it regular. I've not seen the config you're talking about.
