New FC idea, Home-made Myco Garden / mono tub hybrid!! (IT WORKS! PICS!!! PORN!!)
    #13696003 - 12/28/10 01:11 PM (13 years, 2 months ago)

Ok, I just wanted to share this idea as I've currently started testing this as of today!

Credit to OoBYCoO as he got me starting thinking about this from his sig and explained to me a little more in depth via pm. I then realized that I had an air pump and extra stones in my basement, and decided to make it a little more automated. After I started getting a few ideas, he pointed me to the mycogarden website, and I realized that i've seen that before and could easily make one of those myself! But the only thing lacking was FAE.... So what the hell, how bout the mycogarden and a mono tub get busy, make some love and pop out this guy:





I originally had these 2 styrofoam coolers setup for a 2 chambered fc from an only tek I found before I started coming on these forums and they've just been sitting in my basement. So i'm putting them to use!

The idea behind this is that the hydroton, which I got from my local hydro shop, covers up my air stone in the bottom. I fill the tub with water just below the polyfil line, and cover it up while giving it lite. There are a total of 8 holes, 3 on the long sides, and 1 on each of the short/tall sides.

I do not have results yet for this, but I thought I'd show off my Idea as this uses the mycogarden idea which requires both hundereds of dollars and fanning! The Mono gives everything needed for a good bulk grow, but adapted so the fae can be put to use for cakes.

Together, this tub should rock!

Lemme know what everyone thinks!!

and Thanks again OoBYCoO for you're info!!! :jah:


---EDIT----

Working on using my new GH in my sig, this project is on the back-burner for another 3 weeks while I wait for my wbs cakes to colonize. Rest assured, this will be back with results within a month and a half!

~~~~~~~~~~~UpDATE~~~~~~~~~~~`



It works great guys! did these cakes on second flush, no problems! just need to make sure to fan and mist manually :bigjoint: to get best results

oh, and btw, I also have a 2nd tube coming out of this container in the bottom left corner for drainage! :-) that way you dont have to fully empty the thing if you just want to change the water :hamsterdance:

Freaking Awesome!!!!  I like!  :bigyesnod:  That should work perfectly!  Smart idea w/ the drainage tube.  That thing should be fully automated and you probably don't need to lift a finger... just watch them grow!  I can't wait to see how this turns out.:popcorn:

It's all good.  Constructive criticism is always welcome! :laugh:  But he's using the air pump for FAE not to create humidity.  The water at the bottom of the tub will evaporate off the surface area of the LECA and create RH.

yeah!!! so far it keeps 100% humidity! I have a fan going in the room for pushing the air around. I'm thinking I may setup my second one and pick up another 5-10 coolers and use these  instead of my SGFC!

The Hydroton or LECA provides 100% humidity so it's not needed.  Check out the pics of mine, you'll see that there's a ton of humidity...  My PESH

Thanks brother!
I had a hydrometer in there, but took it out for the pics...  It was always at 100%.
I believe you can't have condensation w/ out humidity.  :shrug:

yeah theres a different bewteen the 2, but that condensation looks like the air just couldn't hold any more water.... if it could he'd probably be sitting at 125%+ humidity..

your toilet has condensation

are you telling me the air in your bathroom is 125% humid
witch is not only impossible, but unlucky to be able to know without some sort of instrument
get a hydrometer , then we can talk about the effectiveness of that with humidity
im not saying it doesent work , i used that way for one grow , before i got the cool mist

ive been there and done that with alot of these little "cheaper then standerd" options
why do you think i give advice into it ,
cause i know for 2x the cost, and no stress, well sometimes the extra money is well spent
you cant buy peace of mind

LECA which is short for LightWeight Expanded Clay Aggregate. It has been used most notable in the Horticulture industry as a planting medium for hydroponics but has been found useful for many other applications.  LECA is made by baking pure natural clay at 1200 degrees Celsius for 3 hours in rotary kilns, the end product is pH neutral, doesn't degrade and is autoclavable. Capillary action on the surface of the lightweight pebbles allows it to absorb 40% of it's weight in water and also allows for efficient evaporation to help maintain a constant humidity level.

Why only trade x7x in a certain thread? 
I have it, am I in a secret club I am not aware of?
:lolsy:
Anywho... that FC is like a PMP/mono hybrid....
Good design, I agree a vicks with a ultra would produce better.
Good luck!

its the responsibility or isolating what the thread asks you to , and not just trade it out
like a greedy trader ,

thats the attitude i hate , and members like you i try not to trade with becuase of a
lack of responsibility like that

do you even know what we are doing with the x7x print , do you even know the thread
and yes it is a club :uh:

notice who is on the first page
