Shoeboxes in a larger tote question
    #26973517 - 10/07/20 09:48 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I decided to start with shoeboxes in a 90qt tote. My question is with one or two in here can they go straight to fruiting or will they dry out too quickly? Should they be covered until colonized? I'll be adding two more in a day or two.

I would keep em covered. I keep the lid on my shoeboxes until the fruits hit the lid, then I replace the lid with a grocery bag. I do not put them in a larger tub. Unless you live in a desert, shoeboxes don't need any special treatment. Just put in your spawn an substrate, snap the lid on, and forget about them for a couple weeks.

I think I heard someone who does their shoeboxes in a tub, so I guess it works, but I would wait until you have more shoeboxes in there tho, so it will function more like a regular mono and maintain its own humidity.

But honestly, I would just skip the bigger tote and just leave the lids on the shoeboxes. Unless maybe your area is super dry.

I do this if I have a side pin problem or need more boxes. I take the sub out of the box though. My tub fits 4 shoe boxes. It works very well.
