Okay here is the pic of a monotub with a tray (Keeping in mind this will next time have 3 inch of sub directly to it without a tray) anyways..

Lookin pretty shiny! Obviously more sub would be better but you'll be able to get away with that. Make sure you mist as needed. Your sub surface should have those little beads on it until your pinset comes in  Also the walls of the tub will start to condensate. Watch those rings around your polyfil to gauge how tight you need it. Or you could try this.

You could fill the empty space with hydrated perlite to provide more humidity.

Don't fill it with perlite, perlite works best with holes under it anyways. That is more than plenty substrate surface area. I've fruited 1 tray in a tub that fits 4 trays WAY easy.

 It works best with holes under it but is still an option because it would provide more humidity. Would act like a bigger substrate...
It should fruit without the perlite filling but... nevermind... Listen to the mad season.

Lol. Yeah I've never had an issue with humidity and monotubs. Even if only 1/4 of the tub is filled. Hell don't even fill anything, make up a mono, mist the bottom, and watch. The shit is fuckin humid without anything in there xD
Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about filling the bottom out. Just mist when needed.

I packed it in loosely, I will try the micropore tape on the other one and see what one does bestest.
So TEMP... its getting cold outside for the winter... my place is heated with a wood burner. For reasons of cost I don't really burn wood till the temps drop below 60 inside the house. The basement where all this is being carried out seems to stay around 65 to 70 These are Okay temps? The grain jars are upstairs on top of the cupboards close to the ceiling (there is a good 8 inch space)and the temp upstairs is between 70 and 80 on average and they seem fine.
I keep reading that its a pinning trigger to drop the temps... but how low in temperature can I go before something bad happens? I know if its not a steady whatever it will just slow the growth but lets say I take off for a day and it starts snowing and the inside temps get down to 50...? Does this make sense.. it was another big thing I have been wondering and getting answers is not as always as easy as a search.

Are you sure the info on temperature drop is about cubensis? Tropical species don't like temperature drops. PNW mushrooms on the other hand love em.
I really wouldn't let fruiting conditions get below 60. It will take what seems like forever to get fruits.

As long as your consistently above 60 you should be fine. A temp drop here and there isn't going to be detrimental

Well not like cold shocking, I swear I have been reading that the triggers are Light (But i know thats old information) FAE (and I think thats really the only true one) and dropping from incubation temps of 80 down to 70 for fruiting

And heck yeah! I see the monotub already fogging up a little. I will do micropore tape on the other and see what the difference is. Thanks guys I really appreciate this help!

Alright the first tub is looking great and I noticed its holding heat better.
I did the second but I might be mistaken about micropore tape... the stuff I have is 3m medical tape but its clear... I see this other stuff that is like a beige color and says micropore on the inside of the roll... are they not the same?

There are two tyes of micropore tape. One is fibrous and one is clear like plastic. You want the fibrous kind.
I couldn't find any in shoppers drugmart or walmart so I ordered a 12 pack from well.ca
