30qt Rubber Maid
    #14129749 - 03/16/11 09:36 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I bought a 30qt rubbermaid container and I want to know if it will be big enough for what I need (sgfc) PF-Tek

It measures

11 inches tall
10 wide
11 long

4 inches of perlite will reduce my height to 7 inches.  I potentially have 9 BRF cakes if nothing contams.  How many stacked could I fit in here?  Will stacking be too hight? They are half pint jars.

I realize I may need two of these SGFC, problem was all the other sizes bigger then this one were SUPER huge and mega overkill. Not to mention they were not clear, this is.

Anyways should I use this container, I can return it if need be.

that sounds a little small for 9 cakes, they would almost be touching eachother. 2 of them would proly do the trick

You could probably fit 9 cakes in there  but it won't work like a SGFC unless it is built to specs with the right size tub, or it is modified somehow to compensate for the smaller size.
I would say get the right size tub if you can, if you must use that one maybe drilling smaller or less holes would help hold your RH but I am not sure if it would work or not.
The best thing to do is get your FC built a few days before you birth, so you can see if it is going to hold humidity. IMO I think that a tub that small with 1/4 inch holes every 2 inches would leech the humidity out the holes and dry out your perlite.

damn, I didnt realize the size would make a difference is that aspect.  People had told me I could use any size I want. :frown:

Yikes. I might have to go for the monster tub.  Has anyone modified a smaller one?

I think so, search for mini SG in the cultivation forum.

None of these guys are using cakes though, or perlite bottom layers. maybe.

I love this small FC so i think ill play around with it.  But im also going to build the bigger correct version to.

You could always break the cakes up and case them, you would get much bigger flushes that way but it would take a while to colonize the casing.

:awewtf:
the general consensus on the fourm is to fruit cakes as cakes

youll yield no more if you only case them

spawn to bulk if you really want to increase you yield

If you cant fit all the cakes in your tote then you might yield less.

Apparently you didn't read the part where he said he had a 10" by 11" tote to make his SGFC and then he asked about mini ones. If he couldnt fit them all in, then he could make a mini MonoSG use the bulk sub to make a tray for bottom, leave out the bottom holes, and drill it like the SG mono hybrid. Or just make a mini mono and jump right in to midget bulk.

I told him to go buy a new tote, did you read all the posts? :hillbilly:

one of them has bacteria on the myc where it wasn't 100% colonized, I think I just let them dry out too much and overwatered and overfanned and overhandled them, and about 10 other screw ups, wrong flour(sodium), left foil on lids for a month, used pint jars, and used 40ccs to noc up 8 pints(4 quarts/gallon) 40CCs lol
Im just learning

I could do it to a T now, I just hadn't learned all the specifics before I started. Now I am full on bulk, though I might fruit a couple trays in the SG. I am just trying to figure out what my poos ph is going to be. What kind of store sells PH test strips?

Swimming pool supply stores.  Wally world usually has them, but depending on where you live, your local WM may or may not have pool supplies out yet.

Size is fine but 9 cakes would be a little cramped I think. I've used that size with 4-5 cakes with fine results.

thank you for this! i also bought a 58 quart see-through rubbermaid yesterday.

before i insert my 6 quart jars(colonized) into my coir/vermiculite, should i break them up?
..or leave them as is/and leave them standing up(upright) on the lids inside the rubbermaid?

....break them up and mix them with your pasteurized coir/verm. Doesn't anyone research anymore?

This one tek on amu, I think it was Ohmatic's, put a layer of coir/verm-jar of spawn, coir/verm, jar of spawn, coir verm, until he had two quarts of spawn left, put them both in, and then covered it with the rest of the verm, mixing each layer as he went. Doesn't matter if you leave them in a shape as long as you break it up and mix it with the sub good enough when you spawn, but not too much, gently.
