Poly is easier to adjust to allow less or more air flow.

I'm on sabbatical from growing right now.

It worked, not any better or worse than just stuffing. Just a little cleaner looking.

Is the liner absolutely necessary? I've seen people spray paint and cover the totes in black where the sub sits but then you want it on the inside? Is this to prevent messes or what exactly? Might have to experiment with this once I get more tubs going. If everyone is saying that side pinning is not triggered by light then a liner would only be to make things a little cleaner right?

it reduces side pinning because of the microclimate formed between the substrate and the tub walls when there isn't a liner

it also makes clean up easier because most full size monos don't easily fit into a kitchen sink

The substrate touching the walls a problem? I have seen people not use any liners. That's why I ask.

the substrate touching the walls isn't the problem its the microclimate that happens when the substrate shrinks

Ahhh that makes sense. It will just stick to the sub as it dries. Reusable after using it a few times will probably be tough though. But I have a feeling I already messed up my bags hahaha just need my PC to arrive and will be using wbs Tek and making my own sub. Self efficiency is key.

side pins aren't the end of the world, they are just hard to harvest

if your surface conditions are dialed in you will get limited amount of side pins anyway

I just made mine with a 71 quart container with holes at 4inch. I got a hole saw kit on amazon for 15 bucks.

I just created my second Spitball Mono Tub :

I used a Sterlite 64 quart from King Supers for 8.99. I use 5 quarts of spawn with spawn to substrate ratio of 1: 2. So I dumped 15 quarts of water in and marked my hole lines one inch above the water line.

What an awesome TEK. Thanks man. :bow2:

Can I use cotton instead of polyfill?

This is kind of the idea I had floating around in my head but was thinking of using Velcro instead of magnets. For colonizing I would have a sold cover and for fruiting I would use use felt (basically ironed poly fill). I'm doing mini monos with gasket lids so the lids fit well, just wondering if I'll suffocate them out by covering all holes during colonization.

This thread is quite old, so by now you've surely had some personal experience with oats instead of rye grains. What's the verdict? I've always used rye, but oats sure are cheaper and readily available.
