Hey people what’s happening :rockon:

I been busy as hell but I wanted to share a little something with ya! Since I started growing in monotubs I have found dialing them in to be tricky. Polyfil sucked balls to get right, micropore was a bit easier. I liked micropore for its ability to do a few runs before I felt the need to change it however, I still wanted something I didn’t need to ever think about again. A while back there were people and journals looking to do just that, using strategically placed smaller holes. It was a good idea but there was a lot of gadgets and measuring equipment involved. It was a cool thread watching the R&D and I learned a few things. But AFAIK nothing ever came of it in terms of a tek.

Well I started to experiment with the idea. I didn’t have any gadgets but I did have an idea of how I liked my fruits to look. So I got some tubs, a drill, and got busy. Ideally this tub for me can be spawned and fruited with nothing over the holes whatsoever. However anyone rocking a mono setup knows you need to dial stuff in sometimes to account for position within the rooms currents, or if you got the heat or AC coming on a lot. This setup works pretty good so far for me in my house but some people may want to tape a hole or occasionally mist if needed. If you want more FAE you should add the optional holes. However the need to maybe tape a hole or mist a tub isn’t a big deal in my eyes. Far better than fucking with polyfil or replacing micropore tape. I will admit I haven’t done a huge number of tubs with this final iteration that I present here, but so far I feel it’s doing well. You be the judge.

Material needed.

1 66 quart sterlite tote (purple handles are my jam)
A drill
1/4” drill bit

Holes are drilled lower at sub level on the long sides. If you want more FAE you can add a lower hole on the short sides as well (optional, see below). This might be too much for people in dry climates. The sub level holes are drilled 5” up from the bottom. I place them on the long sides 3” from the sides of the tub, then a final hole in the center between them. You want there to be around 1.5”-2” of clearance from the drilled hole to the top of the substrate. You do not want the hole right down low barely clearing the substrate as this will dry the substrate out.

The top hole clusters are centered at the top of the short sides. The first hole is drilled 1.5” below the purple handle. Then drill a hole one either side spaced out 1” - 1.25” on the centres. The second row is located about 1” below the fi rst one, drill two holes 1” - 1.25” apart, centered in relation to the top row. Done.

Optional:
If you live in an area with higher humidity or you like to case, you may want to add another hole on the short sides. A FAE boost is never a bad thing. I drill those up 5” from the bottom and centered. Easy.

Now spawn your tub as you like. Lately I been doing 4 quarts spawn to a brick of coir and 3 quarts verm. It’s easy.

Melmac PE not complaining.
