monotub+cake questions

I'm wanting to birth my 10 cakes to a monotub tek, and i'm wondering about a few things. 1rst- How many holes w' polyfill should i place, and how large should they be. Also, should the polyfill be sterilized in some way? 2nd- I'm using an aquarium pump w' hepa filter and timer set for FAE 3 times an hour. Will this create enough rh in the FC?

No. No, man. Shit, no man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' somethin' like that man.

blankk said to fee: btw you're a total fucking psychedelic pimp Turtletotem said: I want to become a sun worshipper, so next time an atheist smugly asks me where god is, I can point smugly at the sun and laugh my ass off. Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.

Are you using a monotub or a poor man's pod?
Monotubs are used ONLY for casings and the entire tub's bottom surface area MUST be filled with sustrate. There are only polyfill holes without pumps.
A poor man's pod is what you are talking about with the air pumps.
So, to answer your questions:
1) For a MONOTUB, there should be 8 holes, four on each side, two bottom two top. For a PMP (poor man's pod), just use four, two on each side, all on the top. And no sterilization is needed for the polyfill. Its completely synthetic and does not harbor contams.
2) Three FAE times per hours is excessive if you won't have proper perlite/geolite levels. You will have a hard time with getting up to the 100% PH needed for your cakes. Make sure you have at least 1 inch of wet perlite on top of your bubble wands, and make sure it says wet. That should help.

You might have to experiment with the timers to get the RH right but otherwise it sounds fine.
