Mini mono/dub tub hole placement.
    #22210751 - 09/09/15 04:52 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I bought a container that is about 8.5" wide, 12" long, and 9" tall.


Felt it was too shortso I bought another tub that is 8.5" wide, 12" long and 5.6" tall.


I cut a hole on the taller lid and glued the shorter tub to the lid. The lid has rubber around it so it seals pretty well.

What I'm wondering is if if I have 4 inches of substrate, what size holes should I use (1"?) and how many?

I've seen the shotgun hybrid, but it's getting cold where I live and I live in an old Japanese house. Not really the cleanest places for Mycology. So I like the option of less holes of a normal monotub and using polyfill to help keep contams out at least for the first flush.

Not sure of hole diameter, but put 4 in each side. Stuff top holes tight, bottom holes much looser.

So maybe one one each side at substrate level on the long side and one on each side of the narrower side up high?

I'll have about 10 inches of space on top of my substrate.

Thanks for the links. I actually came across those in my hours of searching, but it doesn't really help with hole placement for really small monotubs :wink:

We spawn in open air.  No need to worry about keeping contams out.  In fact it's better to have good air exchange when you move onto fruiting so molds that favor stale air don't thrive.

I use 6qt shoebox dub tubs.  I use 1 1/4" holes but that's just what came with my holesaw kit.  I probably would have gone 1" otherwise.

For hole placement I just use two holes on the top stuffed loosely with polyfill.  I don't tape the tubs together so there's some natural air exchange that goes on where the two tubs meet.

For a more traditional set up I'd put two more holes close to the sub level, same size, stuffed tightly with polyfill.

There's a lot of ideas in this thread and there's a lot of ways to do it.  Ultimately what works for you is going to depend on the humidity in your environment, your fan placement, your tubs, your substrate depth, and rather or not you plan to case.

Good luck :thumbup:
