Monotub design question
    #24022381 - 01/19/17 09:19 AM (7 years, 11 days ago)

I am about to drill a few monotubs. I have been researching for months and am leaning toward 3 choices but am still not sure which is best and/or most up to date as a best practice.

1. I saw a post that said RR recommended just doing small holes every 2 inches all around (not including the 4 ½ inches for substrate).

2. I see a lot more people actually using the method with the fewer large holes with polyfill.

3. I have also seen people (like bodhisatta) use no holes and flipping the lid 90 degrees for 8 hours for FAE with great results. But it said avoid this its your first rodeo.

I have been doing great with BRF cakes, then spawned a few small trays to bulk all with great results. I now have a bunch of rye jars at 97% so I need to make a decision quick. I have always gotten a better understanding from asking today rather than trusting what was written in the past. First go round I accidentally made a PMP rather than a SGFC not realizing that it was old info.

Can anyone steer me in the best/simplest direction for today based on experience. If the answer is #1 I may try a large soldering iron to burn the holes cause that’s a lot of drillin.

Thanks!

1. That sounds like a mono/SGFC hybrid, can't comment on its effectiveness, seems like keeping RH up would be a pain. However, I've seen it work for old growers.

2. I would use this method instead. 1.5" holes spread equally apart on the long sides and one hole on the top of both short sides.

I use a holesaw attachment for my drill to make the holes on my monotub :thumbup:
