No reason not to give this a try for a first mono, easy enough I figure.
This off topic but a 6 hole standard mono does 2 holes on each long side close to the sub level and a single hole on the short side up close to the handles.
You need the space for the sub plus a half inch to be on the safe side. I find that you don't want a sub deeper than 4" so usually I do mine at 4.5-5" up from bottom.

I'm trying it with a side by side comparison, once these tubs are ready. micropore vs poly. Everything will essentially be done the same so it can be a little more closely controlled test.
I will let you guys know the results.

What you don't trust the side by side I linked? just be sure it's controlled genetically as well.

It's not that I don't trust your results. I'd trust any tek you post Pasty.
But I want to see how it does for me personally.
If it does just as good or better for me as poly, I'm putting the bag of poly away or letting it go to other uses. Like stuffing pillows. Or cat toys.

Just use the same with 4 quarts spawn. It should still work fine. Don't over complicate stuff.
If you are this stressed you should make a new thread please.

Fuck yeah....from what I hear poly can be a bitch to dial in for noobs such as myself.....I'd rather use my poly for filters for my jars...and if this works half as well for me as it did you pasty I'll never use poly in a mono lmao

I use double layer mpt on my jar lids. This tek could potentially eliminate the need for poly to be on your shopping list at all. Unless poly is proven to be a better filter over micropore of course

Just pulled the poly on my super mini and applied the micropore. It's starting to knot but the myc was a bit fuzzy like it needed more FAE. My bottom poly was stuffed tighter than a porn princess's butt and the tops were looser than a German fist queen. Here's to hoping I get some stabilization. Thanks for this Pasty.

Which micropore tape would you reccomend. One is clear and one is white. I can blow air through both.

I've had these fruiting for a couple weeks this way.

Figured it was worth trying out when he'd mentioned it a few months back, but I hadn't had clean enough spawn in forever ugh.
I will say they have a slightly higher tendency to dry using just two layers on 1.5" holes. I'd probably add an extra strip per bottom hole myself. This also has to do with 6 holes in a mini mono, I'm sure. If I'd just done 4 hole minis, the two layers would probably be fine.
