I'll just echo everyone else, the pmp is an outdated tek and SGFCs/monos generally have better results.

Or just grow sclerotia (stones, truffles) by skipping the whole fruiting hassle. There's more wait time but it's alot easier for beginners.

Electricity = just a 60 watt bulb to bring up the temperature a bit.  (No, its not configured in a way that might dry anything out...)

What in the great abyss am I looking at here..?  Looks like a mold factory, potentially, unless everything is perfectly sealed.

fanning isn't needed for a sgfc, it is riddled with holes it's just something that help:thumbup: most would consider a sg more automated then a pmp

ya know what, no matter what you eventually end up with (pmp, SGFC, monotub, etc.), the design you've shown us that cuts down the noise of an air-pump is, in my opinion, awesome :super:.

I'm always fiddling around with different projects/techniques/whatever, so this is neat in my book....

my only question,

where is the "air-in" port on the box? I mean, are you sealing the pump up in the MDF with only an output for the tubing? I dunno if that would be good for your pump or not :rolleyes:

The inlet is the 1/2"-3/8" tube coming in through the top.

I obviously have other design constaints that I'm not telling people about.  At the end of the day it comes down to an airflow requirement. The mushroom doesn't care how that requirement is met.

If you have other constraints you're not mentioning, how are we supposed to give you good advice?

I say you wait until you get your own place to grow illegal drugs. :shrug:

Personally, I would recommend that you switch over to monotubs. They are a set-it-and-forget-it kind of tub. No misting required. No maintenance at all, really. Just pick the mushies when they are ready, do a dunk, and set it back up for the next flush. Thats how I do mine, as I'm not able to be around them on the weekends, not most of the day in the week.





lol so wait

why was I told to make a SGFC ?when I joined the forum
why did I spend an hour making it if I can just make a monotub and not have to mist or fan

what am I missing here?

He didn't explain that monotubs require you to use whole grains and spawn to bulk substrates.  You can't really just stick cakes in a monotub and have them perform well.  (Not that well anyway)  SGFC is best for cakes and monotubs are best for bulk, as far as passive semi-automated systems go.

I got your back toucan, Im a fellow newb planning to fruit in a pmp. I bought all the shit already so im going to at least try it. I plan on doing a smaller one, with enough room for about 9 cakes. Then also have a sgfc to compare. I might even try a Mono if things go smoothly. (I live in an old house in the woods, so I am worried about how sterile I can get things). Good luck and hopefully we can compare PMP's when they are ready.:thumbup:
