I have 66qt Sterlite tubs. On the 2 long sides I have 2 2" holes drilled about 4-5" from the bottom, on the short side I have a 2" hole drilled close to the top.

There are several styles of monotubs  going back many years. We have tubs with larger holes filled with polyfil, monos with no holes at all, and monos with smaller holes. Some drill holes and tape over some don't.

I use no holes monotubs with the lid slightly askew. Is that the right way or wrong way? Don't know. It's just a way and one that I prefer.

Some of it depends on gut feeling, your city environment, home environment, weather, elevation, etc.

Truth is, we are talking Cubes. They don't care all that much, and kinda just want to grow. At the bottom of the various monotub 'teks' what do you see? Tubs filled to the brim with beautiful mushrooms.

If you are making your monotub now and don't mind drilling holes, use the ez dialed mono, or use no hole mono, or the original monotub. They will all produce mushrooms. All methods seem to be used equally. My opinion on tape, there is no reason to drill a bunch of holes just to tape the over.

If you've gotten to the place in the grow where everything is in your monotub, the difficult part is over. Now, if you are patient, you resist the urge to remove the lid every day to stare and take pics, you just sit and wait, and harvest a bunch of mushrooms.

Good luck. You'll do fine. Any questions along the way, just ask.
