Monotub help.

Alright i have searched the forums and cannot find a tek on how to make the actually monotub
I will be using damions coir tek and Docs WBS tek for the substrate and i will be using a 66qt sterilite tub.
this is the tek im using for self healing mason jars http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10628004
1.how and where do i place the holes because i have no idea how high the substrate/spawn mix will be?
2.how big are the holes supposed to be?
3.Could i get an estimation on the total time a monotub will take from inoculation to harvest?
thanks.
Also if i were to cook the coir brick and vermiculite in an oven for a while would that further sterilize things and if so could someone give me a time and temp?

TranscendingLife has a good write up.
My One Flush Wonder Mono Tubs Using Coir Tek
Don't bake the verm or coir. You will be pasteurizing it later.

2.Measure & Mark where your holes are going on your tub.
a.Remember you want your lower Holes @ substrate depth. So if you have a 1” bit & want the hole bottom to be @ 4” you should mark @ 4.5”. b.Also, I place my holes 5-6” from the sides of the tub. c.The End holes Don’t matter that much, you just want them as High as you possibly can get them.

The pasteurization will suffice and make the substrate contam resistant.

TL's write up is based on a 66 quart tub.  Typical monotub hole size is between 1" and 2" in diameter.

Use only a few drops per jar/hole, or up to a whole CC per jar.
Spores are potent, stretch them out if you can.

so just shoot it into the jar basically? the tek has one injection hole thing so i just inject a cc into the jar? do i put the needle in the actual WBS or just right above the WBS?
thanks

Right above it is fine....the less the needle touches the better.
And yea, just squirt some right against the glass, so you can watch the growth.

Probably not. It takes me a month get my jars to 100%. Then you'd have to spawn and that can take a week or two.

Do NOT shake a WBS jar after a MS inoculation, until 20-40% colonization!

If you use a good amount of spore solution you can shake it right away.
If you only use a few drops per jar then it might not be such a good idea.
