Hello, welcome and thanks.
I haven't tried that doubling up idea. I see no reason to, you're right I think.
You're right that I leave extra couple inches on the short sides for easy removal (see fruits in OP), takes two seconds. (Then check out munches electric knife Tek).
Black or clear doesn't matter. I like black.

Ya, clear and black theres no difference. Its all about air not getting to the sub around the sides. Ive used clear painters masking plastic and its by far the cheapest but eats trashbag method is the easiest for me and gives the option of carrying out the sub discretely if needed which I like

You'll have bigger things to think about if you're keeping up at this pace.
Ps I'm gonna update this Tek in a couple months, I've started just using 4 bricks and not chipping off one to measure 15,000grams so saves a few mins in scaling.

1 5kg brick to 5 gal verm and 6-7 gal h20 is what I use. i dont weigh anything these days but i can tell right away if a brick feels light and might add slightly less water hence the 6-7 gals per brick

Man, this is one solid Unit of a tek.
Perhaps when I get the storage building cleared out here I might actually have the room to use this.

Thanks for the tek man.. Might be a rookie question but what do you do if the sub comes out too wet? Add verm? If not Im imagining a whole lot of squeezing.. I follow the bucket tek to a T. I've even weighed every gram of sub but I cant ever seem to get my field capacity right without having to squeeze. The only difference Ive noticed between your tek and mine is that you add verm after the hot waters been mixed.. Any feedback would be appreciated <3 <3

Good question. Always add slightly less water than what you think.
I know this is vague but after a few times you'll get better at the eyeball method.
If it's too wet I will definitely just eyeball add some verm accordingly.
Edit: I would reccomend not worrying so much on your standard bucket Tek concerns for one or two tubs as a trial. Just let it ride, one small brick, two qts verm and a gallon of water is close enough to field capacity I don't even consider checking it. Just mix it and dump it in the tub.
And also welcome to shroomery

Thanks for the reply and the warm welcome<3. I plan on graduating from the bucket tek. Your tek seems much easier and I plan to follow it to a T. 3 buckets filled to the brim usually leaves it a little under field capacity? I realize you can't really say more to help than you already have. You think there's a limit to how much verm you can add id its too wet ? Have you ever just thrown sub away and restarted cause it was too wet ?

Agree always better to initially go under. Going over can turn into a mess.

The store 
I only gotta drive a couple minutes away to get mine but i know thats not the case for everyone.
If you make your sub waaay to wet and feel like your adding too much verm ill make another dry batch in a tote with just 1 brick and add that to the mix. Then you should be able to verm it up a bit more if needed

Pallets of coir? Oh my that sounds like a lot, I couldn't possibly imagine.
One could probably find that on the internet, if one were so inclined.
