hey mush i know you said this to me before. how many quarts of spawn per tray and how much yield? have you attempted filling the substrate up to the top of the shoebox and fruiting in monos? i think you showed me an image of them in monos but i don't recall if they were filled all the way up or not.
i mean how many tubs would be the equivalent yield of lets say a 56qt sterilite filled with 5 quarts spawn and subs?

I have been fruiting PE shoe boxes in a unmodified mono. It works quite well. Pretty sure they were only 1qt spawn.

i have no idea. too high. but to compete with 56qt mono 5qt spawn i just need 2-3 shoeboxes and 4-5quarts spawn. i can get a qp easy.
but i shoot for 1 dry oz per quart used. havent done the real bodified BE math yet.
usually i just run 2 quart spawn, 2 quarts cvg(roughly) and i want 2 oz first flush minimum or im pissed. if i have a full mono of 1:1 quart shoeboxes i want a qp dry or im pissed... first flush. but thin shoeboxes tend to be one flush wonders unless you bottom water like crazy. which i dont always do. lazy?
i did a few grows with metal trays in monos back in the day(laptop with pics stolen, never uploaded circa 07) with full trays. worked nice when it didnt trich out.

ever look in my journal at the highroller fungal arts method? take a look. he was using 2 quarts per seedling flat. thats about a 1.5" sub depth if your lucky. he was pulling 4 z dry per tray 1st flush and 2-3 2nd flush. using liquid cultures to corn cobb spawn on the mass scale. there is some good info in that thread.
in a mono you can get upwards of 8-12z dry. minimum for me is usually around 6z dry per 5 quarts. and thats a crap flush.

if you dub tub it, ever tried putting the substrate up to the top of the 1st tub. then flip the 2nd tub on top. but place the holes on the top tub.
i actually used to do these shoebox type dub tubs around 1999. notice how old it looks with the black tape on the bottom haha.
here is one sexy shot for reference. just to add to the thread. this is a taller height tub though. but about shoebox size.

The top tub doesn't need holes though. There is plenty of airflow between the tubs. This tub ended up looking like the ones in my sig
