Need a little help selecting a Terrarium/Birth box kit and supplies

Hey, I'm gonna get into some mushroom growing and have read the PF tek grow guide and understand how to make a terrarium, but a premade birthing box may be a cheap and safer option but i dont know if the boxes for sale work in exactly the same way as the one the read about in PF tek, I cant see a seperater to turn the box into a dual chamber, is that needed if I buy a mister/humidifier? the site is http://aussimushroomsupplies.com/new-page-3.htm
Could someone please let me know if that birthing box and mister will working adequately? Is it a better option than building one?
Any help is greatly appreciated

not only is this cheaper and better, but you can build your fc while your jars are colonizing. it sucks doing nothing but letting your jars sit. thats why most end up doing 2 grows at a time in intervals that best keeps them occupied. the shotgun fc will be super cheap to make, better than waiting for one to get shipped to you...

Ok thanks for that info guys, that 'Done Right' tek is really helpful.
As for storing a spore syringe, how can I do that? In the fridge? And also, what's a 'Plastic Tote' and what's it used for... I couldnt see anything that resembles one in the pictures and the 'done right' tek didnt really say how to use it?

You dont have to keep it in the fridge.. I let mine sit around or a week or two before some of them get used

You can buy those sterilite totes just about anywhere.
As long as you can handle a drill or rotary tool you're good to go :-D
