1st grow 1st Q. Co2 Fruiting
    #9868324 - 02/26/09 08:52 AM (15 years, 1 month ago)

I sleep for 10- 12 hours a day so I cant fan during that time
my question is: Do I add a air pump under the perlite?
                Do I have to make a shotgun style chamber?
               
I see people use fans on timers and air pumps but I am scared of contamination...  any ideas?

Also after fanning dose it take long for the Rh to get back up to high 90s  , I am incubating now and it just seems to me that with all this fanning to get the Co2 out it will be hard to keep high humidity constant

Theres a few different ways. The shotgun's design has holes everywhere and spaced evenly to better airflow but fanning is still needed. The PMP setup might work for you in this case.

I do the same, they are fine until morning.  just make up for it when you can. 

the shotgunFC does FAE very well all on its own. 

if your using perlite why dont you have a shotgun FC to begin with?

you should have 5" of moist perlite and holes on all 6 sides.  if you have humidity prob it usually too many holes.  but dont cover them use tyvek/polyfill or micropore tape  that way gasses(co2) can escape.

hope this helps.

dose the 5" of moist perlite rule  apply only to certain size FC
or all. 

how deep is your FC supposed to be 

ball park it or no less then..............?

shouldnt matter on size.  5" is required to hold the moisture needed to keep RH @ 90+

man... I think I just need a big ass FC  like 2 70+ quart clear containers    then I can dump a ton of perlite and not worry that my shrooms will try to grow higher then the top of my FC



ps  I always see pictures on this forum with people having  shrooms the size of my forearm  and wonder how big their FC is.


I cant fit over 10 cakes in mine and they are still cramped  not to mention you need uncover surface of the perlite for humidity .. right?

you not going to get arm sized shrooms from cakes.  I wish.

they are using bulk substrates in monotubs or martha-style greenhouses filled with trays.

I crumble my cakes in to a monotub using this tek and get some decent size mushies.

bulk sub tek

it was a nice step up from cakes.  but learn all you can b4 going bigger.  and if you chose a tek dont stray from what the tek says.  thats where most mess up.
