Spawning in my Monotub

Kind of confused right now.
So I have 2 QT jars of fully colonized WBS and I'm ready to mix it in with my Tenn Stud. I have a completely clear plastic tub with clear lid.
I wrapped the whole bottom and up the sides so no light will touch the sides/bottom of the substrate.
After I sterilize the inside of the bin, I will mix the crumbled WBS to the poo then what?
Do I just put the lid on then incubate?

Dont incubate just let it sit in the dark somewhere.

Yes with the lid on. Puting a cover over it is optional. Yes incubating can cause it to get way to hot and ferment, it will make its own heat.

just break up all the clumps with your hands. Make sure you wear gloves or clean your hands with alcohol.
Spawning is simple. Save like a half a quart to sprinkle over the top.

Incubate at 75F. If the room is 75F then no need to add heat.
Put lid on, cover it so it is completely dark.
Basically use DT pictorial guide. Except that you only have 1 tub.

I dont need holes with polyfill right?
I do that after its colonized right
What happens if I dont put enough spawn but there is still a lot, the whole thing will colonized still right?
Can you tell me the ratio too, 1:4 spawn to poo?

I don't know of the ratio to use as i don't spawn to anything. I use spawnbags and sterilize them then inject them with LC and then once the bags are fully colonized, i crubmble and case it into a DT.
I have my holes already drilled before i put anything in the tubs.
Because you will have some difficulty drilling the holes with substrate in there.
Yes you need holes with polyfill if this were to be a true "monotub"
I would guess you need a total of 8 holes in your monotub.
If you don't put enough spawn in the tub, it will just take more time to fully colonize.

So no holes BEFORE casing will be fine?

i guess. I am not to sure.
Because i am thinking you will want the C02 built up, for the colonization to take place.

Yes cover and make a hole or two, best it to use this tape,

You said 4 day, I would not place it in the incu, just in the closet will work,
If it is in the incu and if the heat spikes then you can be screwed, so room temp will be just fine

once colonized i replace this with polyfill correct?
what size holes?

I think so, but never done it like that,
The holes should be small, no more then 1/4 or so, and only 2-3,
Too much and the case can dry out,

wait a sec. This is as monotub. 1/4 of an inch holes are really fucking small.
I would suggest you read the DT pictorial and adapt that to your size monotub.
I am currently using 1 1/2" inch holes for my DTs that are 50qts.
Please read the DT pictorial. and search for Ohms monotub in the faq.
