What's the *Optimum* Shotgun Fruiting Chamber Design? * 1
    #12025346 - 02/14/10 01:04 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Is it lots of small holes every inch or less large holes every few inches?

Should the holes be small, like 1/4" or large like 1"? Is the size of the holes and the spacing between them dependent on the size of the fruiting chamber? Does adding holes decrease the humidity, for the purpose of fruiting cased substrates (which require less humidity than cakes)?

Anyone know the most optimum design, or is it all relative to hole frequency and hole diameter?

Thanks for any help or links to helpful threads....

Watch the 3rd video here :rr:

The one he demonstrates is pretty much ideal. Small 1/4 inch holes, every ~2 inches on every side. If humidity is too low, add more perlite, and add more holes on the bottom where the perlite is, to allow more air circulation (which allows more moisture to evaporate rising the humidity). For cubes it wont really matter trays vs casings in a well built shotgun, at least I never noticed trays performing poorly in one. I haven't used one in months though.

Awesome! :awesome::thumbup:

Thanks RandomStickness, thats what I was looking for....But I already started...but your post lines up with my real world....

Actually, I already started my FC modification, and it just so happens, its pretty close to the 1/4" diameter every 2 inches "ideal" design. Although, mine diameter is a little too small, but its close enough for me!

Here's what I've got thus far....3/16" diameter holes every 2 inches horizontally, but 1.5" diagonally (P.S. I failed Geometry in High-School)


First I did every 1 inch, but it seemed too close together, and just the practical "drill ALL these holes" seemed silly. 2 inch per hole seems much better (insert euphemism here).

Thanks again for help RandomSickness. I'll let you know how it performs once I finish it and put some wet perlite into the bottom.

1/4 inch holes, every 2 inches away from each other, on all six sides. Use a rule or a measuring tape and mark them out, ready to be drilled. That's how I typically made my shotgun terrariums. It's the perfect terrarium for small tray tubs and cakes, with little maintenance required if properly set up.

This is an old picture of one I made;

be sure to have a sharp drillbit or your tub might crack.
you can support it with tape or a horizontal surface like a table/horse in the event of a dull bit.

Cool, thanks guys....I like that clear container Zeds, and those metal trays...they look so familiar...

And I've learned that not only does a sharp bit matter, but also a charged battery....I've got some micro-fractures forming on some of the holes from pushing too hard with a weak battery. But they are pretty minor.

Thanks for the help guys, I've enjoyed the experience...

One more question before I go....is filling each hole with poly-fil a good idea or is it Not necessary?

With small holes it's not necessary to fill the holes with polyfill.
