Little experiment I did, 1 jar Chitwan and 1 jar ghostie mixed in the same box. The first flush was straight normal looking ghostie but now on flush 2 both varieties are coming in. I also cased half of it lol

I don't put them in monos thou. I either just leave the lids on or dub them.
   
  
 
Just curious I know it's off topic but when you were doing the albinos did you use a casing layer, I can't tell. Lol tried sending you a PM but it would let me

Given that most of these are unmodded and set and forget for most people, do y'all experience more sidepins than other FC's? I haven't grown anything besides APE in these which pin EVERYWHERE for me, so I'm curious what y'all have experienced, especially with regular cubes.
For the APE I've fruited in a larger tub, I plopped the whole sub out and laid it on top of the flipped tote for the second flush. It helped with the side and bottom pins immensely. Could be useful to those of you who fruit in a bigger tub.

Oh yeah, it's likely the liner. Sorry, I should've added that I mean without a liner. I'm never going to use a liner on such a small tub. I f'ing hate making liners, ha.

Was mentioned before, but plastic shopping bags fit almost perfect in the 6q boxes as liners.

Oh, nice. They don't use plastic bags in the stores where I live so they're hard to come by, but I'll give it a shot when I find some. Thanks.

Hey guys, quick question! I have a couple shoeboxes ready to fruit....i was thinking about dub tubing them, but i found this 66qt container in my garage. It has 1/4 in holes on all 6 sides, it's not a whole bunch of holes like a sgfc....dont ask what it was for, cause I've no clue lol... But i tested it with empty shoeboxes and it can hold 3 of them. Would this container be okay to use as a fruiting chamber?

Walmart near me had 99c shoeboxes with clear lids. Everything I've bought so far was opaque so I copped a few
