Can 2017 be the year without SGFCs, Polyfil and Perlite? They both seem unnecessary to me in this hobby currently. Even for PF tek you can easily make a mini mono with micropore and top fruit jars in them.

This is my go to method. I have poly, but it's tucked away and forgotten about. This micropore holes work really well in my experience.
One layer deep on top, two layers deep on bottom. Once my pins came in I took the lowest layer of tape off, making the bottom holes two layers on top half of the hole, one layer on bottom half.
Was my first agar run of Koh samui that succeeded, 3 quarts of spawn, 850+g wet. See sig. worked fantastic for me.

Dont take this the wrong way but the tub in ur sig should of bin picked waaay earlier. Pick before veil fully rips away n the quality will be way better , never let em open full like that unless ur printing. Taste n potency will greatly increase if u do, i pik mine before the veil even slightly tears n they taste like popcorn, great job tho they look b-e-a-uitiful
Ive bin using franks mono sgfc hybrid for my last 4 tubs n it works great , no dickin around with top poly. I think i might try this method with them then ill jst have to adjust the top tape, cld b a game changer

I haven't done a grow in a few monthso so I haven't gotten to try this yet.
I like that it's consistent- with polyfil no two holes are ever stuffed exactly the same (ha!) .
I think I use 2 inch holes , has anyone who uses bigger holes yet have a suggestion for how many layers ?

Those....aren't regular normal cubes. That's a mutant variety that is supposed to look like that.

With a two inch hole I would probably go with 3 layers on the bottoms and maybe 1-2 on the tops. Adjust as needed, for sure down to 1 on the tops once pinset was in.
The one thing I like about micropore is it's all adjustable, much more than people would think. Just takes some practice and careful consideration about the hole size vs how dry your environment is. After that anyone can make it work.

Right on man Thanks!
I'm really excited to give this a try. Polyfil gets kind of expensive.
I think the micropore looks so much neater which doesn't really matter but I like my tubs neat
Pasty do you put the micropore on at the time you spawn or do you cover your holes and switch the tape at fruiting time?

I have done both but lately I don't even remove the tape between runs. It just stays on the tub as long as I don't poke a hole in it or something. So it's always fruiting conditions for me. Most of the time anyways.

I use default setup (2 layers on bottom 1 on top) for 2" holes No fan running

This pic is after I've peeled off layers even. Note the condensation rings around the holes.
I don't overlap the tape either it covers the hole perfectly so I place my first layer vertically then second horizontally

Dude, yes! I have two layers of tape on my bottom holes and one layer on the top ones and I kept it that way for the entire month no matter what step of the shroom-growing-process they were in.
I made it such that the bottom holes showed a ring of evaporation and the top holes had no moisture (evaporated) on the walls directly below top holes. I simply adjusted the fan speed and positioning rather than play with the tape and each tub had very healthy looking fruits and multiple flushes and just amazingness all around with barely any fanning/misting.
