After reading that last post It seems more tape when the tub is drying out but the less the better? If it looks like its drying spray and add another layer of tape?

Ya you want as much fae without drying out if you dial it in right you will have wall to wall flushes but if not then you have to maintain the tub a shit ton

So realistically with a hybrid you want all the top tape of if you can get away with it.
Why are we doubling up tape to clarify?

the man outlined a very good place to start. You'll have to determine your environment, and with it, realize the fungus' needs. Just start with the tek, and use your eyes and mind to determine what should be done.
If you have a drafty room, you'll have to dial it in tight. If you place is real dry, you'll want it tighter too. If you live in a stagnant swamp, looser may be better. It's really not a "one size fits all" thing. That's why there's entire teks on how to dial in a monotub…

And just cause its a hybrid it doesnt mean its still not a mushroom i assume its a cube cross which still is a cube which still needs the same climate as other cubes

Yep ive read all those, Franks ect but this is tape and its my first time. It would be nice to see an idiot friendly chart and explanation here to help out noobies and people who've lost their confidence a bit like me.

Well thats what dank and pasty already were sayin ... its hard for someone in florida to tell someone in arizona or new mexico how to dial in because of being humid and dry the teks are just there for the basics you know? Im having trouble also so i ran it to the tek and then asked what should be done after adjusting it on my own with no luck you have to just do it and see what works for you man

Ok. So here it is: You'll want your bottom holes tighter (extra layer of tape--maybe the extra layer will cover the whole hole, maybe not). You'll want top holes looser. Ideally, I try to dial in maximum airflow, with as little drying out as possible. For me, that means two layers of micropore on the bottom, and an extra strip on each hole. Double layer on the top holes, but that's just during colonization. I like to fruit at spawning dialed in a bit tighter so I don't lose too much moisture.
Once you're ready to get pins, you start to open her up. Little by little, but just watch what you're doing and how things react. YMMV, what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. While it's fruiting I'll have it more like pasty's suggestion, or even take the tape off the top holes depending on what I'm seeing. Your success in this hobby is largely dependent on your ability to read your substrates and their needs, which comes with experience. Keep at it

Dialing these is no different than with poly. If there is no surface condensation you add another layer and hit it with a mist. If water starts pooling pull off a layer. Read the conditions of the sub and fruits.

Great info, I have a hundred plates to test. Does Psi mexicana work well in mono? I should imagine once the FAE is a issue.

I had limited success with psi. mexicana in a mini mono. Trays in my fruiting chamber worked better for me. Could be because of FAE as you wrote. I would stuff the polyfill loose and mist a little more to prevent substrate/casing layer drying.

What, the pasty plate tek? Just look around, a ton of people are successful with this tek. I'd say most of the agar grows I see have used this tek.
Edit: Oops, I thought this was the pasty plate thread.

Curious to see your results with your hole placements and sizes.
My very first Amazonian grow will be with micropore covering the holes. I have 2" holes in my tub. I may have put it too close to the substrate level, but we'll see how it goes. After growing Treasure Coasts for all my previous grows, I've noticed that this mycelium is very different looking.
