Monotub question

So I got pretty bored today and decided to make myself a monotub for my next grow
 Will these holes provide sufficient FAE? They're 6mm and 15mm holes, I have 6 sets in the normal places 
Edit - when dialed in properly of course :')

I thought the liner was just to stop light exposure to stop side and bottom pinning..? I don't have a drill bit bigger than that 15mm one :/

Light doesn't cause side pinning. the substrate pulling away from the tub and making a small gap for an awesome microclimate makes side pins. You want the liner on the inside and to shrink with your substrate so that the gap never forms. Light and side pins is like 10 year old info. So IE don't tape the liner to the inside of your tub either.
Here's some helpful links

That makes sense seeing as light is a secondary trigger D: sorry, should've researched more... How about the holes though..? It's a relatively small tub, 45L. My gut says it needs more, but I'd rather consult the shroomery before drilling more than I needed

Surely I could just add a few more holes, or even make the ones I already have larger, rather than getting a new tub?

if you put a block of wood behind the plastic when you drill it you can overlap the drill bit and make a big oval/circle shaped hole, or you can be vary careful and do it without cracking the plastic. If you do crack the plastic just tape it. I would read through Frank's monotub tek and search for people using the same size one as you and see what they were doing, Either way you'll have to dial in the polyfil to match the hole size etc..

Sounds perfect... I can't see how having an odd shaped hole or even multiple holes would make a difference.. And I've studied airflow a little bit in both maths and physics

the shape doesn't matter the surface area does as well as how tightly it's stuffed.

I wondered how long it'd be before you chimed in! You've not missed one of my posts yet! I went to the local hydroponics shop today following your advice to get some coir and got given a bag of coco green 100%organic completely free! Awesome day 
Will synthetic pillow stuffing work for dialling in your tub?
