Po maynes terrarium
    #11032954 - 09/10/09 08:34 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Hey yall, first time poster, first time grower. I decided to go with the poor man terrarium, but substitute the plastic top with a gallon ziplock bag. Im going to be using a bottom portion of a hawaiian punch container for some added room, and i was think of sitting the cake on a tinfoil square, and putting some saturate perlite underneath. My questions are simple really, how should i let it air out, how many times a day should it be aired out,should i mist the bag, and if the perlite dries out does it really matter or should i re moisten it? I'd really appreciate any and all information or suggestion you can give me. Thanks!

Fan it out 4-6 times a day or more if you can, and mist as needed to maintain humidity.
If the perlite dries out rewet it and mist more.

Ok, and when i rewet it should i just remove the cake for the terrarium or should i just pour a small ammount of water over it? Sorry for the noob questions. Also when the time comes i am trying to figure a cheap way of drying them, any ideas? I am guessing it wouldnt be wise to spread them out on papertowels and leave em infront of a window?

Easiest to take the perlite out and rewet in a strainer, probably.
Fan dry, window dry, desiccant. You aren't going to get many mushrooms off one cake, so drying isn't too much of an issue.

Also take a look at the RR's shot gun terrarium: http://www.mushroomvideos.com/
It's bigger, but it keeps a much more stable environment with a lot less work.
