Does size Matter
    #7358407 - 09/01/07 10:04 AM (16 years, 6 months ago)

i have a small container which respectively holds 6 jars with a couple inches apart and i have a tub about 4 or 5 times the size of that when it comes time to fruit i dont know which one to use. if i put perlite in the little one then cakes on top the lid wont fit when the mushrooms start growing. the bigger tub however i feel is too much space for six jars and the humidity wont stay high. so what should i do?????????????
im thinkin about usin the big tub but instead of puttin 1/2-1" of perlite i was gonna put 2-3 inches will this be acceptable

2-3 inches of perlite is ok. I think RR recommends twice that?
A search would probably give more info.

Use the bigger terrarium. You can mist down the terrarium when you fan it to increase humidty. Also, a larger box holds more air so the oxygen levels will stay higher for longer. Finally, if the box won't fit the mushroom when they are growing, don't use it.

Happy growing.

always take consideration that your fruits depending on strain could get 13 inches long! so a small compact container would not be feesible when trying to get the best results out of your hard work time and effort in getting the cakes to that stage. use the larger, get a tropicaire or any kind of humidifyer. or u could manually mist and fan but thats alot of work. dont heavily mist the cakes!!
