ok so these are gonna be mini monotubs.. they say 27 quarts.. im gonna have about 3 quarts of spawn for each one.. question 1, will 1 brick of coir do both of these or u think ill need more? i saw some posts with people ising 1 brick for bigger size tubs so im just wondering.. 2, what size holes should I put on each side? and i never made a monotub so im curious how tight do u guys pack the polyfill? maybe someone has a similar setup and they could pull theirs out of the hole and throw it on a digital scale? lol thats overboard but i got one laying around so why not.. thanks, and heres the tubs im using.

1, I'm not sure how many quarts a brick of coir breaks down into (I get coco husk and shred it) but it should work, but it might not be the ideal spawn ratio.
2, Never made a mono that small, so not sure about the hole size, but as far as the poly, you don't want to pack it too tight and block FAE, but you don't want it too loose and let RH drop. You can always fool around with it as you're going, though.
Hope that helps a little.
P.s. Pics didn't work.

yeah i know pics didnt work.. anyways im gonna do like 2- 1 inch holes on the longer side and 1- 1 inch hole on the shorter side of the bin. maybe slightly over an inch, 1 1/4 inch even.. i read some good info on here a minute ago.. if your wondering the same question as me just make your holes and then adjust how tight your polyfil is packed in the holes if you have them too big where your humidity is off.. if your humidity is low then pack more polyfil in the holes.. if its really high take some out until you are on that verge of dropping the humidity beneath the desired humidity. this should give you the perfect balance between FAE and humidity. i think thats good info because that should answer that question every time. make 2" holes if you want.. if they are too big and you cant keep high humidity then just pack tighter with polyfil until your humidy is where u need it to be. sound about right?

i usually make 2 30qt tubs at a time. 1 brick coir and 2qts verm works perfect. although i think the tubs dimensions should be considered. mine are approx. 12 by 10. standard 6 hole placement. polyfill weighs 1gram per hole. holes are 1 3/4 inches. oh and i spawn 2.5qts to each tub.
mine work like a charm! hope that helps some
