Fruiting Chamber Selection

Alright Shroomery Community I'm going to be doing some inoculations (brf cakes) in the next few days. And I need help selecting a fruiting chamber. The options are overwhelming.
Here's the supplies I currently have available:
- Timer
- 6500k fluorescent grow light
- 6500k CFL bulbs.
- LED Christmas lights
- Analog temperature and humidity gauge
- Digital gauge though I read digital was not good to use. So I'm going to use the digital in the closet or in the room to record the temp and humidity in the there.
- two clear totes with clear lids
- two bluish/gray totes.
-polyfil
-pore tape
-perlite
-vermiculite
I will be growing in the house in a 2x5 closet.
What fruiting chamber do I built. A clear single tub? Clear stacked tubs with the top tub flipped over? The colored/dark tub? A tub(s) with small drilled holes or one where I use polyfil? Or both polyfil and drilled holes?
There are too many choices and I don't want to fuck this up again.
I appreciate any and all help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------/
Previous Failed Attempt - Last year about this time inoculation went great with no contamination. After birthing I had some pinning. But I didn't dunk and roll and I didn't have holes drilled for air exchange (trying to keep the temperature up.) I was growing in the garage with an aquarium heater in a sort of "double boiler" type set up. Humidity was high but there was no air exchange. I used LED Christmas lights for lighting. I had some pinning that stalled out and no growth beyond that.
I know. That was fucking stupid but hey it was my first attempt and I have since learned to respect the process and the need to follow directions.

A monotub is pretty much what you are describing just with a bunch of words...a dub tub (the upside down one on top of the other) is pretty much just a monotub also, just smaller tubs.

Monotubs and Mini-Monos have both been very good to me...simple, yet effective.

Alright, thanks. Just wanted to make sure. There are tons of variations that people use once they get more familiar with the process. Just didn't want to fuck it up again.

It depends on your substrate. If you are fruiting cakes or small trays then you probably want a SGFC.
If you have a large bulk substrate, a monotub is best bet IMO for people without greenhouses . The substrare provides the humidity in a monotub so it needs to be big.. (unless its a mini)
Growing in a closet isnt ideal however.

You can put pf cakes into monotubs?

I thought PF cakes work best in a SGFC.

I put pf cakes into monotubs. Works best if you leave in the jars, top fruit and bottom water. Be sure to fill the mono with as many cakes as it can hold.
