I've noticed considerable evaporation around the edges of the lid when I do my tubs. Maybe the weight of the tub on top creates more of a seal between the lid and tub and inhibits some FAE that way as well.

This is a real factor and I dial my top tubs different from the bottom ones accordingly.

How many tubs are you stacking?

I notice less evaporation at the rim but never enough to really make a
noticeable difference in the pinset on the bottom tub vs. the top tub.

But then again, the most I stack my tubs is 3 high so I don't know the
effects more tubs have :shrug:

One thing I have done to help with the seal and also to help with light
distribution is stack my tubs staggered so they look like a plus sign when looking
down from above (+) This really helps light hit all the tubs in the
stack and also eases up pressure on all parts of the lid allowing a
little more exchange through the crack.

It probably varies between tubs. Some are sturdier than others or their lids fit tighter.

I really dislike stacking tubs, I avoid it if at all possible.

In my grow room I have a ceiling fan I use and the tubs at the top tend to dry out faster and the bottom tubs get less air flow and less light.

But if you have a large grow it's unavoidable. I have 17 tubs going right now and none of them are stacked. It allows me to view things easier for one.

I think people treat hole placement/size like rocket science when really its very simple. Almost any hole configuration will work if you dial it in right.

A lot of tubs I have i made years ago and they're not in the typical style you see here (You know the 4 holes on each side, 2 bottom/sub level, 2 on top) Most of my tubs have 6 holes all at sub level, 2 on each length side of the tub and one on each shorter side.

When I see pins I've gotten into the habit of wedging polyfil on to the lids so the tub is cracked open works nicely. Just mist every other day and it's golden

Holy shit, InsaneMike is a real beast eh?
I hate to say it but most of that article is going way over my head.

The case of the stacked tubs will remain a mystery to me and will just have to be solved the primitive way I guess :lol: lots of trial and error

look on the bright side!

you will collect a shitload of data to help future growers who will use a PMP instead.

At least with a PMP I'd be able to tell you how air is getting into my chamber :lmafo:

I actually read that article when I was looking into starting bulk. I was damn near set on making square holes but, being a neat freak, a hole saw was just too tempting :lol:
Mushboys SAB would drive me insane. And not in a good way like mike

Ya he says later in the post that square holes are too difficult and
that it's better to do oval or just use a hole saw.

I just thought it was relevant :lol:
