Tape allows for gas exchange which is needed during colonization. Poly allows for fresh air exchange and helps keep up humidity which is needed for fruiting

Thanks just did a wee bit reading on the difference of GE and FAE, thought they were more or less the same thing til now.

Doing my first bucket today. Trying to get away from SGFC with all the fanning misting and keeping perlite moist. But I only have a 8 qt. PC so doing monos would take a lot of of time running the PC. I have a couple older buckets that are pretty scraped up on the inside, does anyone think this will be an issue? Either way I'm trying it and probably getting some new buckets in a couple days.
Also I only have a 3/4" hole saw bit, will that be an issue? Thinking bout doing an extra hole on top and bottom.

line the substrate in ur bucket if u r worried (u should do that anyway to help with side pinning). as far as hole size goes, u will need to experiment and see what works best for ur bucket/environment. use the crappier buckets to test, then, if u buy newer ones like u mentioned, modify those according to whatever hole size/placement worked best.

Im probably going to do some buckets with led lights around the top. A mix of ottos and this idea, with a scatmanrav twist. There's a store that sells the lights in long strands, and security systems. Interesting combination. Should be a simple and portable idea. Any thoughts?

Hey I know this is an old post but there is not to much on mono buckets on the search. So anyways I am attempt this bucket tek for the 3rd time and with no success yet. I was hoping I could get some advice. I have 2- 5 gallon buckets with sub at 3.5 inches. 4 holes at a bit above sub level. Stuffed tight. I can go tighter. and 2 more holes at the top under the rim level. All my holes at 1 and 1/8th inch. My top holes one so lightly packed and the other is poly free. I am using a clear shower cap with a rubber band for a lid and lung effect. I use the lung 2x a day. My room I have 1 6500k light above each bucket on a 12 hours cycle and a fan on for 30 minutes 6 times a day. It is not oscillating. My temps are a bit cool being as it is winter, but they stay contestant at 60-61F. My ratios are 1:2 and 1:1 from MS. Both subs look healthy and the subs are even starting to shrink and pull away from the walls. The walls have some condensation but it is drying around the holes in rings and bit streaks under the poly free whole. The 1:1 has been in fruiting for almost 4 weeks and nothing. The other bucket as been fruiting for 2 weeks and once again nothing. I just cant seem to have any luck with bulk. I have tried mono tubs with some limited success. I like this tek for the smaller scale. But I just cant seem to get anything to fruit other then PF tek.

Sounds like your getting too much airflow if the sub is drying out? I used two bottom holes and two top holes, and it worked several times for me. You could tape up the two holes next run.
4 weeks is probably too long to salvage the current efforts, but you could try dunking or soaking the sub and give it another week to see if moisture can help this situation.

I still use buckets pretty often to keep 'suspect' colonized jars from going to waste, but monos are definitely my preferred way to go.

I am getting into agar work so my hope is to test my strains with buckets. But I am doing MS until I get it to work right. It seems straight forward but like I said no successes yet. So question you have 2 bottom holes and 2 top holes. Is one of the top holes poly free or do you have them lightly packed. I just cant seem to dial it in for shit.

Tight poly in the bottom and loose poly in the top holes just like a mono. My holes are offset from each other, so if top holes are 12 and 6 the lower holes are 3 and 9 on a clock face looking down at the bucket,

Good deal. I micro pore taped up two of my bottom holes then and added some poly to the top poly free hole and I now have that pattern too. The older bucket may be a loss but I ill try it anyway and doing the same with the younger bucket too. Do you use a fan or anything else ?

Micro pore tape is about the same as having poly there, you need a tape that seals those extra bottom holes.
Yes buckets need some sort of airflow, similar to a monotub. Fan in the room but not blowing directly on them. You should have condensation on the sides and running down in the bucket, and dryness around the top holes where the airflow is most significant.

Ahh I see my mistake then. So I went back and use some metal tape I had. I gave them a heavy misting I had the buckets on a work bench and the fan blowing on the bench beneath them. I have now turned the fan more of an angle to the wall and beside them. Do you cycle your fan or just leave it on?

Always on, and then you adjust the poly tightness to get the desired airflow as I described above.......
