Making shoeboxes 93

I was bored. made a shoebox write up. couldnt find too many. made it simple.
Experience shoeboxes Small spawn trays by Ziran Stoopid simple way to fruit your shoebox
GET YOUR FIELD CAPACITY DOWN!!
Shoeboxes are a lot of fun. they are a great go-between from trays in a sgfc to full blown monos. a normal tote can hold 3 shoeboxes/trays. You can also just crack the lid and fruit inside its own tote. super multitasking.

Each tray can hold up to six quarts. you can make some hefty trays with a 1:1 ratio. normally i do 2 quarts spawn and 2quarts cvg. Filling up the mono with the trays is basically they same as doing a mono. the same principals of the mono are in play. a good thing is that if 1 tray goes bad you can localize and toss it without disrupting the remaining trays. seeing a speck of trich on a gaint mono sucks ass.
I use 80qt totes.

Each shoebox is about a dollar depending on where you shop. i prefer to grab them at target. the ones at mega hardware stores are always filthy with thick dust. the ones at target are always super clean. i avoid walmart at all costs.

Get you spawn ready! today will be 2 quarts of AA+, 2q of mexican(cube) and 1q from a jar that had the label fall off. oops. 

Take your coco based substrate(I PCed mine in 4qt batches)

Then i dump my spawn in the shoebox.
 dump in 1.5 quarts... roughly.. of PCVG.

Mix it all up really good. get in the corners. be thorough. I just use gloves wiped with iso. you can go bare handed but i hate dirty nails.
 Make it as level as you possibly can. I get really upset with myself if i do not make them level.
I then clean up the edges with a wet iso cloth and apply the remaining half Q(roughly) as a top layer to cover grains and make level.

4 total quarts fills it right to the fabricated ridge in the tote. makes leveling easier 
  SUPER OCD ABOUT BEING LEVEL!
Sometimes you realize you didnt mix it up that well.. its not a big deal but try to mix it up your best.

Thats all. repeat as needed. Label as desired. I like to label with..
-variety -date when tray was made(today) -how much and what type of sub used
when you have lot of different things going, proper labeling is super important
 (i cracked my tote. fixed it with packing tape. who cares)

and in my experience, they didnt do well when i modded them for poly holes. too much fae and they dried out. straight unmodded dubs worked the best when the space was needed. fruits like APE i just leave the lid on. no need for dubbing. they get plenty of FAE either way.

thats basically what 'dialing in' means. finding the sweet spot were you have enough air coming in, but closed up enough to trap evaporating moisture and keep the surface from drying out too much(which causes the blueing)
in fact. i hate the term dialing in. it makes no sense unless you have a rather complex frame of reference.
it would be like a surfer telling me to...
'...just ride it hard. right when the wave comes down dude, just tuck in, turn it hard, and hang it bro'
id be like wtf are you taking about?!?! while i drown.

large bowl covers work awesome. If you can find big shower caps, they will work the same. I got the bowl covers from Dollar General. 10 in a pack, 5 small, 5 big for $1. The 5 big fit shoeboxes, while the small ones work good for fruiting straight from a jar.
