Hole placement for a very small monotub
    #19019534 - 10/23/13 02:00 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I have a 13" x 9" x 8.5"tub that needs holes drilled. I'm wondering if I ought to use the same hole placement as a larger, more standard monotub, while reducing the size of the holes, or use fewer holes, etc. I'm also wondering if the typical monotub concept isn't so well suited for such a small tub.

I completed a grow prior to this one using the same size tub, but drilled it as a shotgun F.C. placing 1/4" holes every two inches on all sides except the bottom. The substrate was placed directly in the bottom of the tub, making it a sort of hybrid mono/SGFC type of deal. But, I'm wanting less maintenance, so I decided to give this a shot.

Let me know what you think - it would be much appreciated!

Or you could skip the holes... crack the lid a bit during the day, fan before you close it at night.

The poly fill at the bottom needs to be a looser fit than the top and it needs to be sterilized?  Why is this?

Its was in one of the teks that Frank advised me to use for mono tub tek  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14507008

Thats why I asked, I didnt think at this stage you need to be too concerned about contams as long as you pasteurised properly and your sub was 100% colonized.

Also why are the holes at the top packed looser than the ones on the bottom scientifically.

Also can you take a look at my Tek and tell me if it sounds about right so far?
