Yes, it works. The water evaps a lot faster though.

Question: does your friend run the air pump non stop ?
is there a vent for CO2 to escape ?
does he still give it a daily fanning ?

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

The air pump runs non stop. There are 2 small holes at the top for airflow. No fanning just ad water every every 2 weeks.

As a modification to this excellent TEK would it make more since to place the holes closer to the bottom to vent out heavier CO2?

C02 is not so heavy that the air will pass threw without pushing it out the top. Putting holes in the bottom only seems to rob the upper half of the chamber of humidity.
The fundamental principal behind using air entrainment is to sufficiently mix the two (fresh air and stale air) together and then re-distribute them back into the environment in a more balanced way that is then more beneficial to the mushroom crop. Without this sufficient mixing of the gasses present within the grow space, the crops will remain stunted and will likely never reach their optimum potential.
With the poor mans pod, the settling co2 air is met and diffused by a curtain of fresh air rising from beneath the Geolite surface. This rising flow of air is created from the air diffuser rod situated below the Geolite surface, which is powered by the air pump. The rising air pattern not only prohibits the heavier co2 air from settling down onto the bottom surface as usual but it also simultaneously diffuses the co2 with fresh air as it is distributed back into the environment or grow space where it can be put to good use.

spoken like a professional Magash.....I love your set up....do you have any other Poor Man TEKS? Maybe an Incubator, casings, etc.....your ideas are pretty interesting.

I'm working on a casing machine. Uses a timer that has the date in it. What it does is lower the humidity with a coolmist but it doesn't start for about a week and a half after the casing is put in. I've made one that works well but with all the shit on it you can't really call it a poormans casing machine. My original one worked well but that had a bunch of shit on it also.
  It was a fucken pain in the ass but it worked killer. Now I hear they fill it with cuttings  and I hear it works well

What a great idea! My pet made a trip to wally world late last night and bought many of the supplies necessary to get a pod(s) up and running.
My pet now has 12 jars/containers fully colonized incubating @ 82-85?F that are almost in need of birthing.

Glad ya like it.
Grow Log
Tek : PF
Strain : South American [SA]
Spores : Came from homemade prints. 36 total jars to be injected.
Substrate :Brown Rice Flour [BRF] and Vermiculite [Verm]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:15 PM 3/4/03 : Project is started. Jar prep is just putting small holes in the lids for the spore syringe and then taping them closed until inoculation. Tape used is the standard black electrical tape. First batch of jars is mixed. The mix used is 2 parts verm, 1 part water, and 1 part brf. [ This mix is the max fruiting formula by PF.] Mix is put into 1/2 pint canning jars lightly, not packed in, and left it airy. Put substrate in until it reaches the threads of the jar, then add dry verm the rest of the way.
Jars are PCd at 10psi or 240f for a period of 45 minutes. Then jars were left to sit overnight to cool.
8:39 PM 3/5/2003 : First batch of jars injected. (24 jars)
10:04 AM 3/6/2003 : Incubator is running to low 77F. Going to turn it up today.
5:45 PM 3/6/2003 : Second batch of jars is in the PC will be injected tomorrow. Turned up incubator runs at 83F. 86F is the best and if the incubator is 83F and myc growing in the jars is suppose to create a little heat I figure this should work out well.
1:11 PM 3/7/2003 : Second batch of jars is done. (12 jars)
12:10 PM 3/9/2003 : Jars are doing good, no signs of contams
2:54 AM 3/19/2003 : Tape removed from the holes today and coffee filters put over the top of the jars for added protection. Holes were opened so the CO2 in the jars could escape. I gave 12 jars to a friend who kept fucking up. 24 jar?s about 75%done.
12:13 PM 3/22/2003 : Well it's Saturday and the jars will probably be done by the 25th. So it was 36 jars. 12 were given to a friend, 24 done by Tuesday.
10:26 PM 3/23/2003 : 15 jars were done enough to put into dunk. I dunk and cold shock before birthing and after every flush. The other 9 jars have a spot the size of a pea that has to be covered so I'll do those on the 25th.
7:17 PM 3/24/2003 : 15 jars put into the pod. Put in and put a layer of moist verm on top. With geolite I just put the cakes on it. With some other chambers I put the cake on a lid filled with verm. This is done to give the shrooms on the bottom and the top of the cake some added moisture.
The other 9 jars just finished so I'm going to give them a couple more days to make sure the middle of the cake is done.
4:57 PM 3/27/2003 : 5 More cakes birthed today, 4 left going to do them tomorrow or 3/29/2003
3:58 PM 3/29/2003 : Well I lost another cake. My wife's little 1 cake pod made from a 2 liter and a small fish pump and a little geolite used up her last cake so I gave her a SA to grow. The last 3 are in the cold shock dunk.
So the total is 36 jars done all colonized with no contams. 12 given to a friend, 1 to the wife, 23 mine
12:08 PM 3/30/2003 : Last of jars put in
12:02 PM 3/31/2003 : The first 15 cakes are pinning nicely and some have shrooms coming from the bottom.
11:01 AM 4/3/2003 : Things look to be going well.
1:02 AM 4/4/2003 : Took the first flush from four of the cakes. More will be done later today.
5/8/2003 : Total 23 cakes 164 grams dried.

Should I invest in setting one of thsee things up? (I say invest because I'd have to spend like $50 to set one up considering I dont really have any of the shit to do it with cept the bin) Or are the yields not that noticeably different? If I'm asking a question that was already answered-sorry, I just didn't see it.
