So if I'm using 2 bricks of coir, 4 quarts of verm, and 10 quarts of WBS spawn, What size monotub should I use?

Not throwing all your eggs in one basket...

Bigger tubs tend to not get proper air circulation...

Smaller tubs are more manageable, and if one contams, you still have another one...

Other than that, not much.

It's just what I would do.

That being said, there are a lot of people that have had great success using 100-110qt tubs, but it just seems like too much for me.

I agree with hacker.

Not to mention that smaller substrates are more efficient.

You will have a better yield from 2 66qt tubs than you would one 120qt tub, I would put money on it.

Esp for your first time :thumbup:

:goodluck:

there's a few 100+qt teks floating around that produced less weight than a singular cake for some reason. stay away.
66qts tube all the way.
