I've had 2 "shoeboxes" sitting around for months now. You've inspired me to actually put them to use. I think I'm finally gunna spawn 3 mycoquarts of APE to half a brick of coir and let it consolidate in there for a while before taking up monotub space. I'll keep ya posted! Just waiting on spawn to finish colonizing.
I can fit two of thsee in a standard 66qt mono perfectly.

Munch are these the same as yours? What do you do to fruit them?

I use these for storing no pours or making prints right now but I personally really like 27qt for minis

Smaller tubs may even make it a bit easier to pump out higher BE I would guess
It's not about the volume. It's all about clean spawn and proper contitions

Liners are optional in any tub. If you can provide proper conditions for pinning on the surface, you should have very little side pins. Think of a liner like training wheels. Usee em if you like

Just spawned my first shoe box

2.25 qts APE MS spawn 3.75 qts coir verm bulk sub 1.25 qts coir verm casing (nice and thick)
One of the spawn jars recovered in under 48 hours. The other two took 3 days. 

I may have prepped too much sub because there's only about 2 inches oF clearance from sub to lid 
First time working with APE but I hear they're stubby anyway so we'll see how it works out

Is this your first time fruiting APE??? And we used the same syringe???
Hahaha that's awesome!!
One of three of jars was perfect. It was a shame to mix it with the 2 questionable jars. If I could do it again I would have spawned one on its own.

Looking through my double liner I can see its colonizing quickly. Will probably be fully colonized tomorrow.
I can see now that my coir verm casing is an inch thick which is the thickest I've ever done.
I like to let the casing colonize a bit before fruiting, so I'm gunna fruit sometime between Sunday and Wednesday, depending on how I feel.
How's yours?

Yeah yours is ripping through that sub eh?
Mine is not far behind but didn't you mention you spawned yours after me?
I'm still happy with my progress none the less. But really hoping for full colonization in 5 days or I'll start to worry.

Ahh true, it sounds like you actually beat me by a day  Mine was spawned Feb 12
Next time I do this I'll probably use a 1/4 brick and 1qt verm per shoebox
Hey mushboy Were you always fruiting in Monos before you switched to closed lid fruiting?

So I guess you think my two 1" holes on either side will suffice for FAE then eh?
It's been bugging me so much that I don't have more holes... I may drill two more after full colonization, but part of me wants to ride it out.
And over here everyone's not even cracking the lids.... I wanna come to the dark side but I just can't let go

A thick casing layer will help tonnes if you can't keep up with misting. By the look of yoyr sub it looks like yoyre letting it dry out completely then re hydrating. Try a half to 3/4 inch casing at spawn.
Also I fruited my APE shoebox yesterday. I think my casing was too thick because I still don't see any myc popping through. I wouldn't go thicker than 3/4 inch again. I underestimated the small size of my shoebox.

Mycolorado said: I was curious as to how yours was coming along. Did you case when you put it into fruiting? I cased mine on Tuesday with around 3/4" of jiff/verm and dropped into a mini.
Cased at spawn. Usually I'll wait to see it pop through the casing and colonize a bit before fruiting but I ain't waiting longer than 10 days to fruit. The casing was possibly more than an inch thick I never actually measured it

Pretty sure it's just the unbroken colony aspect where the myc won't have to recover a shake.

What does the salvaged sub look like? I wonder if its worth gathering throwing into a new tub to recover. If you haven't got a first flush from it yet, that's what I would try and do
