Are these really fire and forget like a monotub? If so, it seems basically perfect for some smaller projects I'm planning, since I won't have the greenhouse back up and running anytime soon. 
If they require extra attention though, misting or fanning, I might set up a dialed in mono and run trays in one to reduce maintenance. (It's very difficult for me to run anything that can't go at least a few days ay a time unattended)

These are set and forget for sure. The hardest part is checking surface conditions occasionally and dubbing it when the time comes.

Sweet! I already have a bunch of those totes, I was using them for smaller brows inside my greenhouse.
Never really considered using them solo, that's awesome.

Looking good fella's
Thanks for sharing
I have maybe a stupid question:
What is the benefit for the shoebox? Is it just that they are easier to manage and have ready air vents?
Cheers in advance S

The benefits are for you to decide. Just like with cars. There's lots some people think ones are better than others. If there was a clear winner there wouldn't be such a big selection.

No need really. Once they're filled with the lid on you kinda just leave them. Another nice thing about the 6Q boxes is they have a ridge about 2/3 up the box which makes filling a breeze. Just dump in your spawn and fill with coir to the ridge. Level it, lid on and you're done. They're a snap.

These are the ones I use.
A little over a dollar a piece. I get double the amount so that I can dub them when the time comes.

Jealous of all these cheap prices. Here in Ecuador, best I've found is $5. Starts to add up once you have a few
