Shotgun tek confusion (about number/size of holes)
    #11004982 - 09/05/09 03:42 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I can't really drill 1/4" holes because I fear the perlite will just fall through it (I'm going to use miracle gro perlite, rinsed well and the fertilizer removed as http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10141597#10141597 recommended, it was all I could find). So I was planning on using 1/8" holes instead.

So I saw one post by RR claiming you shouldn't deviate from the 1/4" hole size because it wouldn't work properly, and another by him saying that if you use smaller holes, you can just drill more and it will be just as effective. So is it okay to use 1/8" holes instead of 1/4"? Should I drill four times as many holes so I can have the same total area of holes? Thanks in advance :smile:

Use 1/4 inch holes spaced 2 inches apart on all 6 sides don't deviate from that the perlite wont fall thought the holes it clumps together when wet you may get a few pieces here and there its no biggie thoe

Use 1/4" holes and space them about 2" apart all the way around all six sides.  What makes you think the perlite is going to fall out?  You don't see it falling out of anyone's shotguns do you?  Follow the tek and it will work perfectly.

Thanks :smile: I wasn't sure whether or not the perlite clumps together, that's a relief.

edit: I wasn't sure if people who use the shotgun tek normally use coarser perlite, that's why I figured it might fall out. Thanks for the clarification :smile:
