I'm actually so happy to hear that this write up is still helping people. Every once in a while I see it mentioned or someone messages me and I'm surprised because it doesn't get much action or exposure on the boards. Thanks for taking the time to drop a line in here guys

 Cron called me out the other day for bitching about having to change microtape dressing over the holes. Always forget how much more of a hassle dialing in poly was.

If I had 2" tape I would be happy but I have to carefully place two layers of 1" wide tape to cover 2" holes in my tubs so it takes a little concentration and a lot of tape cutting to acomplish.
But compared to the poineers figuring everything out by trial and error and hoping for the best, I really should never complain about any part of this hobby  Thankful to have been brought up in this golden age of cultivation

I only recently saw this post. I didn't use liner. I do see condensation on top surface. I even misted it. But I touched the sides and it felt pretty dry. How can it be. If there is water on top why does the inner side dont take the humidity from the top layer. And can you explain what is a gauge for correct water amount.

Liners are optional and using one is just my preffered defence against side pinning
But it sounds like you either need to tigthen up poly or mist more frequently. Your substrate should never be dry

I was going tub shopping the other day. I think I found a happy medium with 50qt tubs. Will be putting them to the test soon! Definitely think 66qt is a little too large imo

So I assume 1 quart spawn will be a monotub. And if I use damion5050 tek for coco coir substrate, it means I simply should get a smaller monotub? and the amount of substrate should be calculated from damion5050 tek, as the proportion for one quart. (so if the original tek uses 5 quarts spawn, I should devide by 5).

I'm not sure what you're asking. For 66qt monotub I generally use damion5050 bucket tek with 4.5 qts spawn (6 jars)

I want to use just 1 quart spawn for a monotub. I want to rely on damion5050 tek. Main reason is past contaminations, and I assume that smaller monotubs means that if one contaminates not all of them will be contaminated. So if I use 1 quart span, what should be the size of the monotub, and how much substrate - coir, vermiculite, water
