My only real concern is in regards to FAE... I won't have a clue until I can lay my hands on some... lmao... just pictured myself in a fabric store, surrounded by middle-aged women; and here I am, with this sheet of felt up to my face while I breath through it... LOLz "No, no; I'm not a weirdo, ma'am."
Oh course; I have a grant total of ZERO experience to work from <sigh>

Lol @ the power ranger pipe gauntlets
Will do on the felt purchase...
Do you have suggestions on hole size and placement? Or just go with the "traditional" method? Thanks!

I have a few difference sizes... Was thinking of using one I've got that's darn near big enough to hide a person and their horse in, LOLz...
Seriously thought about putting two small (shallow) bin/trays into the big one...
I know, I know... Why the hell won't this damn noob stop fuckin' with shit and just follow a bloody established TEK?!?!... It's not my fault... I was born that way, lol.

those were my thoughts but I have no room to talk I couldnt follow a tek if my life depended on it, well I actually followed one tek and that was RR's SGFC It worked Perfect!
Basickly you can do what you want, but replacing the Polyfill for Easy Felt will give you a good gauge on things by being able to somewhat compare...but by all means experiment if thats your nature, But I honestly wish I would have learned to follow a tek early on.

lol and I promise if you fail on the big tub I will say.....told you so..lol

quick tip though, if your hellbent on the bigger tubs like a 35-50+ gallons, Be sure to add tonnes of perlite and/or verm to the mix to keep it airy.

Ha ha, right on! Jam out, my brotha man!
Yeah; the "all my eggs in one basket" thing is what keeps causing a frog in my stomach Will have to do some more aimless pondering, he he he...
It would seem that wisdom would suggest I start out with multiple minis, before jumping into coffin-sized tubs...
<sigh>
I just have visions of scrooge mcduck swimming in his warehouse of gold... Except; it's me and a room full of mushies! Yum!

Barak... you use perlite in your substrate?
I'll be buying some in a week and a half (on my next buying spree), along with the felt and a few other things. The perlite purchase is for a SGFC I built for my cakes.... stupid cakes... lol
I'll be moving to bulk, starting my next (2nd) grow; via rye berries and the simple coir/verm TEK. Plan to add some gypsum and diluted liquid coffee in the prep.

I would suggest doing a simple 18 gallon mono tub. Mine colonize in about a week and are beginning to fruit about a week after that. They yield about 4.5 ounces on the first flush.
If you have lots of spawn do two 18 gallon tubs. They are about 8-10 bucks. I think it's worth it!

let your mono tub colonize for 2-4 more days before introducing into fruiting conditions.
I introduce when I see a few pins.

Well, my tubs colonize in about 5-6. days. I leave them for a few more days and then introduce them to fruiting conditions around day 8. By day 14 or so the first pins pop up. I wouldn't imagine leaving them any longer would change much yield wise. Unless I isolate (Im not there yet, soon hopefully!) I don't think I could pull much more than 4.5 ounces on a first flush from an 18 gallon tub, right?
Oh and I use about 6-8 quarts spawn to 1 brick coir and 2 quarts verm. That's almost a 1:1 ratio.

18 gallons is 72 quarts, thats above the standard 64 quart,
64 quarts should bring in 6oz or so on the 1st flush and thats with MS.
Keep dialing in and you'll get it all worked out. me if you need any help at all.
