Is anyone still fruiting tubs by laying plastic over it?

I can't find the old thread where this was being talked about, but I'd like to see how people do it to allow a good amount of FAE. Do you just lay the plastic right over and leave it? Do you still fan manually? Do you put holes in the plastic or no holes? Also does it matter how much air your tub holds? What I mean by that is I have a little tub, holds probably a gallon, maybe 2 tops. I have it filled about 1/2 way up which is rather high I would imagine, the mushies will definitely be growing past the height of the tub itself and thus pushing the plastic up as they grow, not sure if that makes a difference or if I'd need to adjust anything as a result.

Use the plastic as you would a lid, let them grow into it but still open it, mist and then fan manually. No holes in the plastic.

Have you done it with success? Not that I doubt you, but it's not exactly a tried and true tek so what worked for you may not work for everyone. I had done it before with minor success (my sub was too dry so I didn't get many fruits), but the thing that concerned me at the time was the plastic created a much tighter seal around the edges than a lid did because what little gap there might be tended to form a seal due to moisture buildup and since there are no holes like a monotub I felt without fanning it was probably getting less GE than a jar even so that's what made me wonder if you're supposed to put holes in it, or maybe just a single one in the center or something.

I still had holes in the tub at substrate level with polyfill, just not in the plastic itself. I also ran a fan in the room on low, not pointed at the tub.
