Best filter for WBS spawn jar? Also what size GE hole?

Hi,
First post, kind of a noob question I'd imagine...
I'm ordering supplies and stuff and I'm kind of stuck. I plan to use WBS for grain spawn and intend to use wide mouth 1qt jars... I have self healing injection ports for them. Just need to figure out the best GE filter setup.
I see lots of different kinds of filters and stuff people have been using... I imagine some of that has to do with different kind of grain, different intent for the stuff in the jar, etc. I know I've read WBS can dry out easier so smaller hole(s) might be better..?
So 2 questions, what size GE hole should I be using specifically for WBS spawn in a 1qt jar, and what is the best type of filter?
Seems SFD's are very popular, but I dont get why I woudl need a 90mm filter for a tiny GE hole? ? Totally fine cutting them up smaller if I can do that assuming thats a good option?
Anyway, not sure whats best between cutting up SFD's, layers of micropore tape, tyvek, .2-3 micron filters, etc, really appreciate some input!
Sorry, I know this topic has lots of threads, that's partially why I'm asking though, 10,000 different opinions and I'm not sure whats best for my particular application.
Thank you!

Hello, I've only ever used Rye grain and a single 3/8" upto 1/2" hole works well. Not sure if wbs would be any diffrence though.
I do cut up the SFD into 9 circles, giving me 9 filters for one SFD. I've read from a guy called Rogerrabbit (legendry mushroom cultivator) he says cutting them up affects how much gas exchange they can handle... The sfd requires the full surface area of the disc that's why they are made as 90mm discs and not any smaller. My first attempt I used 4 full 90mm disc for 4 quarts, 2 of them contaminated. Now I use smaller cut up Sfd's and rarely get any contams and speed of growth is very similar.

Sometimes I think simplicity works very well. For 1 qt jars I have had success with one, 1/4 hole filled with polyfil.

I just put two bb size holes in my lids. I used to do one bigger hole but when I shook the jars seeds would get through and be stuck under the filter and drive me crazy.
I prefer tyvek. Clean easy and free and has never failed me.
Be careful with sfd. I must’ve bought the wrong ones. They were sold specifically for mush cult but had at least an 80% failure rate.
