I use this exact one but as a sab

Hehe What do you think about using it for monotube?

I would think you’d want to increase the amount of substrate otherwise the cake surface conditions will dry out a lot quicker due to the bigger container size. Also there will be less gas exchange since you’re creating same size culture cake but increasing the container dimensions

So your last tub was 74qt approx and now you’re doing almost double the volume; the colonization of sub by your spawn generates heat which helps facilitate the movement of gasses within the container. The holes are there to make it easier but don’t necessarily force gas exchange themselves. More holes would make it easier
If you double volume but keep the same sub ratio then it will still expend the same amount of energy colonizing, however the energy will be dispersed throughout a lot more material of the container. This will drop the temps and be harder for the cake to maintain proper environment. Hope this makes sense, I’m very stoned

Hehe nice brother, wish I had a joint at home to smoke right now, hehe. Enjoy!

I understand what you mean. So I should not make more holes then maybe? Should I continue with the same, to have 2 holes on the long sides and 1 hole on the short sides at the top?

I'm wondering if maybe I should make 3 holes on the long sides instead of 2 holes?

You can drill more holes and tape them shut if it turns out to be too much.
With such a big tote you'll definitely want to increase your substrate amount drastically.
The harvest will be a huge pain in the ass too. You'll be sitting at it for hours on end but that's more of a novelty problem lol.

I'd say go with two holes as any other TEK for the first time and dial it in for the next time according to your observations.

Okay thank you so much brother
