I think you're going to want some lids that let more light through than that.

To me it looks like your holes are a little low.

I know it doesn't look like alot of light shines through, cuz I took it on my shitty as phone, then sent it to gf's iphone then it came out a bit clearer. But I already tested it with my light its good.

Still, wouldn't you rather have a completely clear lid so they could receivet all the light you're providing? I guarantee you wouldn't regret it and that extra light can make a big difference in pinning and mushroom growth.

How to Change a Colored Lid to a Clear Lid w/ Saran Wrap:


1.Trace Out where you’re going to make your cut w/ a Straight Edge & Marker.

    a.You want to make sure to NOT to hit any of the supports for the tub’s Lid, as this will negatively affect the seal of the lid to the tub.


2.Cut your lid.


3.Put the Open lid on your Monotub and stretch the Saran Wrap over the lid to the exterior of the tote & lay the Saran Wrap inside the tub.
4.Tape the Saran Wrap to the exterior side of the tub.
    a.Make sure to get the Saran centered & free of any wrinkles.
5.Stretch the Saran Wrap over the entire lid & set on the side of the tub.
6.Pull the Saran Taut towards the Sides of the tote that is NOT taped & tape down the sides of the Saran to the Corner of the Lid w/ Clear Packing Tape.


7.Now do the same to the Other side of the tub.
8.Cut off the Excess Saran wrap w/ a Sharp Knife or Box Cutter.
9.Now working on the center sides of the Lid, pull off little strips of the Clear Packing Tape & work from one side to the other, just to get the Saran Wrap Tight w/out ANY wrinkles.

    a.Be careful when stretching, as it will tear easily, which we don’t want. It’s happened to me several times. Usually, I just toss the Saran Wrap & start over, but you probably could just put a little piece of tape over it.

10.Tape the Ends of the Saran Wrap to the End of the lid using long strips of Tape.
    a.Be sure not to Over Tape the Ends, as this will negatively affect the Latching Mechanisms of the Lid. Just be careful around the Latching Handles & Underside of the Lid.

11.Now I move onto the sides. I pull Long strips of the Clear tape (just about half the length of the side of the Tote).
    a.Be sure to Pull the Saran Wrap Tight using the Tape to adhere it Lengths wise With the Tote.
b.I move from One side of the Tote to the other as to help w/ everything being clear.

12.Lastly, I go around the end of the tote checking all the seals of the Tape. If I think a spot isn’t taped well enough, I’ll take a little extra Tape & tape that down.

I started using saran wrap but got fed up with it after several rips.  I upgraded to the window shrink wrap sold at nearly every home improvement store.  The plastic is much more durable and is shrinkable, so you can always get a nice tight seal.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

There's a part of every living thing that wants to become itself: the tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into the butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one. That is spirituality.
