Has anyone used these Sterilite 40qt bins?

Still a long time stalker, haven’t cultivated in about 8 years but I wanted a hobby again. No more apartments, have a house, and a room dedicated for this, and no roommates! So why not? I used to use shoebox size containers in a greenhouse but I would like something a bit more simple so I’m going to use a monotub. I picked up a bunch of these 40qt containers, I’m just a little worried on the height but because of the size it may just work fine. I was just curious if anyone has used this specific kind that may have any advice because it’s been so long and what I remember was based off my greenhouse. I’ve been searching and ready to go, just curious if anyone used these.

Shouldn't make any difference- - all container sizes work so long as you honor the basic requirements. look at the volume of spawn and sub TC's use for "standard" sizes and scale it up/down to yours if needed-- for examples, read HERE

Gotcha, just didn’t want to limit growing room. Thanks for that link, very useful and can get whole oat virtually free! Picked up 100lbs of hpoo, good stuff. Going to try various substrates it’s just been tough finding containers, damn pandemic. I was originally trying to get the ones from that tek but I had to buy like 12-24 at a time. But seeing what bod did I’m going to go back towards that idea. Have great walk-in closet with hardwood possibly tyvek the walls and ceiling. Just excited to do this hobby again!

I'm just getting back into growing after a many-year hiatus too-- just keeping it simple. The TC's have come a long way in the past 10 years-- a lot of old superfluous steps have been eliminated-- it's easier and smoother than ever to make it work.

I’ve noticed that! I remember never thinking about agar but I just ordered all the supplies to start experimenting with it. Everything just seems simpler than before for sure. I remember way back that it all just seemed so complicated. Maybe it was just me making it too complicated but I’m excited to get back into it. Just got an All American 15.5 quart vintage pressure cooker in perfect working condition (miserable trying to find a pressure cooler right now).

Used to use those exact tubs for damn near everything.
