This is my first monotub so I'd appreciate any opinions/improvements on my tub please. It's a 35 quart tote and I used 1.25" holes.

I'm considering switching the micropore tape for polyfill when I get it tomorrow. Is that a good idea?

I like mp more than poly. Only thing jumping out is try to level the surface better next time.

You got like 2 qts of spawn in there or?

If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite
The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Okay I'll try to level it more in future. I think the photo is distorting it a bit though.

It's 3 quarts spawn and around 8 quarts substrate.

I think you could easily have spawned this into a 66qt tote. The substrate looks very thick to me. You don't want it to be more than 4 inches.

It only goes up 3 inches and still plenty of room for the shrooms I think.
