theres no need to attach a light onto your terarium, shrooms hardly need any light at all, they could get all the light they ever need just by turning on a flashlight on for a split second.

Magash i'd like to see some pictures of your ganja setup if you don't mind, you may want to post it in the pictures forum. Do you have a growroom with ventilation? If not how do you keep the heat down while flushing co2 out? Do you use a hydro system or soil?
thanks

It's worth noting that "Geolite" is also sold as "Leca", which I believe is the generic trade name for the rounded expanded clay pellets. People who are having trouble finding "Geolite" might like to try asking for "Leca" or "Hydroleca". The manufacturer's website is http://www.leca.com/engelsk/index.htm .

My bud just put his together. He put to much water in though, cause the pellets are kind of floating in there. Got the airstones hooked up and threw the hygrometer in. I told him that the extra water will evaporate. He won't be birthing his cakes for a few days anyway. That is if the bottoms ever finish colonizing. It has been running for about 10 minutes. How long should it take to get the rh up?

Nevermind. We had it on the minimun reading setting. Just went and looked and it is up to 85% after 15 minutes or so. The top has a very fine mist on it already. This thing is sweet!

Hmm im using same system with perlite.. my gauge only reads 85%. that saddens me, some info its a 95 liter sterlite, 2 inches of perlite 1/2 inch water. air stones connected to a fish pump.

It could be your hygrometer too. My buddies is up to 87% now.

No fanning, the air stones are their for the gas exchange...you just need a hole at the top for the CO2 to get out.
Hey Magash how many gallons is that container? Or the dimensions?

Your right actually, but as long as there is a hole somewhere in it then its cool. this was all discussed in this thread before. i mean a hole is a hole, will still allow o2 to get in.

i dont have a hole at all in my pod, but then again its not really air tight..
the air finds a way to get out....
and since the fresh air is bubbling up from the bottem u dont have to worry about c02 collectiing at the bottem of your pod choking your little mushys

The reason the holes are put at the top of the pod on purpose.
The fundamental principal behind using air entrainment is to sufficiently mix the two (fresh air and stale air) together and then re-distribute them back into the environment in a more balanced way that is then more beneficial to the mushroom crop. Without this sufficient mixing of the gasses present within the grow space, the crops will remain stunted and will likely never reach their optimum potential.
With the poor mans pod, the settling co2 air is met and diffused by a curtain of fresh air rising from beneath the Geo-lite surface. This rising flow of air is created from the air diffuser rod situated below the Geo-lite surface, which is powered by the air pump. The rising air pattern not only prohibits the heavier co2 air from settling down onto the bottom surface as usual but it also simultaneously diffuses the co2 with fresh air as it is distributed back into the environment or grow space where it can be put to good use.
In this way, the poor mans pod creates the same desired phenomenon as offered by more conventional means of air entrainment found in much larger-scale commercial applications where a mixing box is commonly used to accomplish this important task.
