Hey guys and girls,

I wanted to journal this next step in my mushroom journey. Doing so in my first grow just made it so much easy, with the constant feedback from the users of this forum I was able to learn so much more.

Didn't have any contamination during my first grown, so it's something I'm not used to deal with as of now.

Recently I made the holes of the SAB (130L) with a hot knife, took me ~1h30m




Any questions just ask

I'll be doing a 1:2 ratio of inoculated grain to coco coir in a 22L Monotub.

Didnt make the holes in the montub yet, I'm looking for an alternative to the hot knife, or maybe I could do squares instead of circles and it would make the knife tek easier

Get at least a 6 inch one then. Trust me.

I'd say a lot of people here used the coffee can on the stove method though.

I used a soldering iron. Worked great.

Dont make the mistake of thinking smaller holes = less contam because less air can get in. It feels logical on the surface but bumping into your SAB and scraping spores off your body from touching your arm holes will produce a lot more contam... Plus its uncomfortable
