P.S. - Geolite pretty cheap. $2 a pound - cheapest I've found.

you cant ever really know what to expect as far as yeilds, sometimes they can be poor, sometimes they can be great, although i do encourage the use of this pod, it seems great.

There is a product called hydroton, it is the exact same thing as geolite but costs less.

In using this tek, but instead of an air pump, using a submersible heater, how hot would you have to make it (60-88) are my settings. See it is the summer, and running the heater at 80, makes fruiting very difficult with little to no temperature drop possible while maintaining 93%. So I am wondering, if I use perlite + water (obviously enough water to insure that the heater is not totaly covered by perlite) with a submersible heater, would I be able to maintain 93% while at the same time, not raising the temp from room temp (75)? As in, previously, I was using just a submersible heater in water at around 88. The chamber was at 82, and the humidity was 94%. So would adding perlite to the equation allow me to run the heater at say, 75, and maintain casabale humitidies?

The heater is not needed. I only use one for like one month a year. There is no other reason other then the temp to use a heater. In fact in the top of the thread where I tell how to put it together I never mention a heater.

I wonder if you could use one of those giant five gallon water bottles for a dome.

>>I'm wondering which is better; dunking or letting the clay pebbles wick into the cake?

ALWAYS DUNK between flushes...even with a Pod. It makes a HUGE difference...I always dunked my cakes for 12 hours in between flushes in the fridge then put them back in the Pod. Fruit body size and amount of fruit bodies always increased with dunks. The Pod is great for growing from cakes.

Love & Light,

Boppity

Thanks for the info! I am building a pod right now. I got two questions. Do I put the cakes directly on the Hydroton, and what do I need to do to prepare the Hydroton before putting it in? Oh yeah, one more. Should I use a 0.03% H202 solution for the water in this?

To tell you the truth I've never used H202 with it. Yes put the cake on the hydroton.
