I've heard miracle gro perlite isn't good to use. I've already been to couple places around here and it all I could find. I already bought some. I've read where some rinses the perlite in small amount until the miracle gro plant food separates. I also read as long as your cakes don't have direct contact with the perlite it will be fine also.

Also could someone pm me their advice on which sponser to use to order spores? The reason I want to know if there any free spore rings is because I want to donate to the cause once I have a my first successful grow.

how are you going to fit 4-6 inches of perlite in there with room for the cakes? a clear lid also helps the light get in you know.

That's is a 57 quart tote, there is plenty of room. It's looks small in the picture but it's not. And I know but I went to three different places and none of them had clear totes with clear lid, and the clear lids they had, didn't fit the clear totes.

if your holes are 2 inches apart like they should be then your tub is 8 inches deep at best. 5 inches of perlite plus a 3 inch cake the things hitting the lid.

I'm 95% sure my pattern is right. This is the tote right here. Depth is 23.74. 16.61 wide and 11 inches tall. http://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&storeId=10702&catalogId=10051&productId=3599514&store=1666&view=specs
Also I do have room to squeeze another line of holes on the bottom of the sides.

Sanguin3 said: 11 inches tall is pushing it but you should be fine. Your holes should be 1/4" every 2 inches on all 6 sides. Go ahead and add that extra line of holes around the bottom 
And you can just shine the light in through the sides, it's not a huge deal.
My holes are about 1/4", some are probably bigger just because I was doing them all by hand. Better they are bigger than smaller. Some are 3/10 of an inch. And I planned in it. Just hadn't gotten to it yet. Won't be able to grow until I get my own place anyway /:
And is any light good for growing?

sunlight or 6500K light on a 12/12 schedule, intense 6500k like a 26W(replaced 100W regular bulbs) spiral bulb a foot away
3/10ths of an inch, it's like metric american I like it. 2.4/8ths
