Suggestions Continuing with Bulk

Hello everyone.
I have seven rye berry quart jars at around 95%.
I also plenty of coir and vermiculite, so I'd like to do damions5050 tek.
Should I do one large mono? I have a 66qt Sterilite 26"L x 16"W X 12"H.
Or multiple trays, since it's my first time with bulk?
I've made some trays with pf cakes, but found they fruited no more then they would, had I left them as cakes in a SGFC.
I'm down for any suggestions you guys can give.
Thanks.

Hi again everyone.
After a bit of old email detective work I was able to retrieve the password from my original account.
As you can see I've been here on and off for a really really long time.
I'm not sure if it's against forum rules to have multiple accounts? (I'm not intending to do so, I just happened to be able to retrieve my original one)

Honest engine..... Those last posts I made were from when I was in high school.
Hell, the last posts I made were 14 years ago!
edit: I haven't used a bbs in a while, it even took me a minute to figure out how to set my old old account to look like the Shroomery default forum. When I logged in after all that time I was a really old school looking version.

Doing one large monotub would be less work/hassle/mess since it is only one tub, however the down side is you are putting all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.
Doing several trays can be a pain, but it can pay off, if one contams it wont infect the rest.
There are trade offs, and honestly its really just up to you and your personal preference. However if there is containments in the spawn then you're screwed no matter what lol.
Personally, if it were me, i'd take those 7 jars and g2g(grain to grain) them into 70ish jars and really do a bulk grow. However if you havent dont bulk before you may want to have a few grows under your belt before doing this. It is not hard by any means, there is just more steps, and thus more opportunities for containments.
Whatever you choose, keep us posted, and best of luck:)

The grain jars I have were made using a spore syringe from reputable sponsor.
I didn't do agar. So I'm weary of doing g2g.
I'm pretty good in my sterile technique, and the jars look healthy. I've shaken two of them, and the mycelium responds back to 100 with in around 30 hours.
If I do smaller bins, should I put them in a mono or a SGFC?

I've never done agar myself either.
As far as smaller trays, you can make mini monotubs, also called dubtubs. I have no experience with using sgfc so I can't make any recommendations there.
Maybe someone else can chime in with suggestions s on a fruiting chamber. Myself I use only monotubs. When I did smaller size Glenn trays I had a martha/greenhouse to out them in. Maybe you can look into one of those?

When I make 6qt trays I wait till they colonize then take them out and put into an sgfc but people put them in a mono with poly ... I wouldn't recommend making cakes and then expanding them to bulk ... also some people mistake damions tek as 50/50 coir verm because of his name Damion50/50 just in case you haven't read it lately.. with seven jars you could do 6 trays then one for g2g or one mono and have two jars for g2g or however you wanna do it

i would go with mono(s)
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17897163#17897163
i prefer the jar pasteurization
then start up some agar fun and take some samples from fruit bodies and go crazy
