The Perfect Mini-Mono Plastic Tote

So I’ve been searching ever so diligently for an affordable yet perfect size mini-mono tote. I like the size of 6qt shoe boxes, but don’t like the idea of dub tub (wastes tub) or plastic bag covering. 50+ qt monos are just too big for a newbie like me who want to avoid sgfc. I’ve found nice 4x4x8H containers meant for pasta storage but they’re $6 each.
These totes are 11.69”L x 7.09”W x 11.52”H
 $12 for 3 totes ($4/ea) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9ZODQW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_w22LEb7BDJERH] I am going to try these with Bods unmodified Mono method

They seem kinda tall. Not as much surface area I think ... Less surface area=less pins . On the other hand they might be bigger fruits so maybe it evens it out.

If you double stack 6qt shoebox totes you’re at ~10”. Do you think the extra 1.5” will change the surface area that much? I figured the extra space would be good for tall fruits? Shoebox dimensions (13 5/8" x 8 1/4" x 4 7/8")

Sorry after I posted I looked at the dimensions and checked my shoebox when I got home from work . They just appeared taller and narrow.. should work pretty well.. no need to unlatch the lid as they grow

I wonder if leaving the lid latched with just some 1/8 or 5/32 holes scattered across the top would provide enough fae to make them seak out.
If these do well sure would be a sweet looking and orderly grow.
I kinda wanna get some to hand out as gifts once ready to fruit. They look cool to me.

I’ll do a couple with holes and a few unmodded to see the side-by-side progress. I will update once I spawn to bulk (mini-bulk).
If I received one of these ready to fruit, I’d be a happy camper
