Am I doing this right???

To start I'm a total noob but I've done all the research I can and have come up with a plan for my first mini mono tub project. I've got a 31 quart clear tub I plan to drill 4 one inch holes about 3 and half to 4 inches from the bottom of the tub and two more one inch holes around the top of the tub to later fill with pollyfill for FAE. I've got three quart jars of KSSS on rye berries about 30% colonized that I plan to spawn to 3 pounds of 50/50 straw hpoo when fully colonized. I'm just wondering if I've got the right amount of holes at the right size? And if my ratio of rye berries to hpoo is correct for the size tub I have? Thanks to everyone I appreciate all advice

Tubs don't need to be incubated unless it's 60 degrees or below What spawn ratio are you gonna use ?

Yea man you should expect pretty fast colonization. How do you plan to pasteurize?

If I open the bag and don't use all the hpoo Do I need to pasteurize it again for use or will it be fine in my freezer?

Lmfao that explains the shit smell I got from a brf cake I spawned to hpoo that I had opened couple weeks earlier Also I've got an Orissa cake that been in my sgfc for probably two weeks and not a pin in sight The mycelium looks like it's a clean white so I don't think it's contaminated I know Orissa can sometimes take forever to pin but is two weeks normal?

Brf cakes suck imo def not worth the effort I get cakes all the time that don't pin its just how they are

Damn Ya that's kinda been my consensus after my first 3 projects That why I'm trying to move to the mini mono tub Have you had any experience with KSSS? I got awesome pin sets but only turned into little blobs Very disappointing Can you recommend a cube other than B+ that is beginner friendly?
