It's as simple as finding an appropriate-sized container (at least 3 inches for Cubes IMO) and building a proper SGFC. RR has videos on how to do a SGFC. But like BL said, it's not the most efficient way to go. It's just more efficient than a dub tub, and you basically have a tray ready to go in a FC.
But yeah, with 3 quarts you'd do best with a mini mono. Personally I'd G2G those into 30 more quarts and do 5-6 regular monos, but that's cause I think big.
If you're seriously insistent on doing the dub tub, put some holes in the top tub and stuff them lightly with Polyfil. You've got shit for FAE right now. You can probably increase yield by 50% or more just by making some holes.

Just fruit it. It is how 99% of people grow here.

In dub tubs with no holes? That's definitely not how most people do it. Most people do either cakes or monos. Some do greenhouses, but that's dying out.

I agree, but I understand why. It's the one fruiting method I haven't really tried. Seems like too much bullshit to dial in. Not more expensive than a dozen monos at like $8-10 each, which are probably a comparable size when stacked considering an extra tub to elevate them a bit, but you can buy 1 or 2 monos at a time. You need to buy all your shit at once for a GH.
A GH is more versatile in terms of species you can put in it (adjust for temps, of course) but it's a lot of open space from what it looks like. And IDK anyone who can just throw up a GH, put some trays in it and be good. It always takes some shitty flushes and fixing problems and tweaking.
Plus you have to deal with water dripping down the sides, which could be a deal-killer in a carpeted room without a lot of bullshit to keep it securely contained.
That all being said, the nerd in me wants to try one someday. Filled with every tropical exotic I can manage fruiting at once.

Btw, what are we looking at here. Looks like a non cased substrate ready to start producing pins. If it were cased with a non nutritious casing layer, it might look like this. There has to be thousands of knots and hundreds of pins here.

it's not cased. as far as i know. i literally followed this guys instructions to the T. i'm new to this. coir, verm and manure were mixed at the beginning and the spawn was added and all was mixed and evened out.

Well then there is nothing to fix. Get it in a fruiting chamber and start misting it. You should see pins within two weeks

Damn, that is too bad. It looked ready to go wild. Yeah, if you have a picture of it that would be helpful. Are you sure it wasn't just blueing(Which can sometimes have a hint of green to it)?

Unfortunately I threw it out. It didn't look good anymore. I had to take a bit of time off for work purposes and now I'm ready to attempt another WBS bulk. Really looking forward to this lol but not sure what to do about a sub and fruiting chamber. Any suggestions?
