thanks for reminding me, i have WBS outside soaking, ready to simmer and load in my 6 bag's that i was talkin about yesterday hahaha
but yeah I do remember those days, thats why I advise to forget them for 10 days, day by day you see the tiny bit of growth each day and it annoys you...wait 10 days and they're half colonized and you start doin alil jig

Question, I have a FC on top of a different sized tub, I was going to pour boiling water into the bottom tub to heat the upper tub, (I dont have a space heater, heat lamp, my house doesn't get that hot), wondering if this is a good idea because otherwise i dont have much of a method for heating the tub. The problem I see is that I wouldn't be able to CONSTANTLY have the FC heated even with the water method; i just couldn't be there all the time to keep it warm.
Opinions? Ideas? Thanks guys. 2 weeks till fruit chamber!

you shouldn't need it
I myself fruit at 65 degree temp's, and happen to love the dense thick fruits that the temps provide..also in my personal opinion is the shrooms are a bit more potent..

Question.
(6) 1pint BRF/Verm jars colonizing (started last night) Was intending fully colonize/dunk/cut/roll/fruit in a big tub with a good few inches of perlite on the bottom mist/fan etc.
Then i got to thinking, Monotub is still an option.
I can go buy coir and i have alot of extra verm and perlite lying around.. Any suggestions on how to improve my yield??
They just started colonizing so I have probably about 2 weeks before I have to make up my mind.
Thanks alot
-M

if you want to improve your yeild, look up damion5050's bucket tek, works great for coir/verm add a bit of gypsum if you wnt but you dont have to...once fully colonized you can crumble and mix in with the coir/verm like he explains in his tek...let that fully colonize and start fruitin that bad boy

I just went and bought some Coco Husk.. They were out of coir.. Should work just the same. just gotta give it a bit more time to break down in the barrel.

husk sucks in my opinion, some have success with it but i'd recommend taking it back an exchanging it before you're jars are ready.

UPDATE
As we all know Im pretty broke and dont have any fancy equipment so I did what the normal red blooded broke american does. I hit wal-mart. I picked up this 18 qt stock pot for 20 dollars. It has this nifty thing in the bottom to boost up your jars, and I had no idea til i got to the register. Saweeeeet.

Annddd because I left the lid in my friends trunk, This OTHER pot would have to serve as my lid. lol

After all my inoculation that I was much too busy to take pictures of, I wound up with my 6 pint jars, In a shoebox, Wrapped in a trash bag, and stored on the upper level of a closet with some towels over it.

While waiting i began to try to cut out my little rectangles for FAE with a very very dull razor. I shattered my box. (Thats what she said)

I got smarter, from the help of some posters here, and without a drill, I made use of a ratchet set and superheated the end, and burnt 10 holes, 3 in the longer sides, and 2 on both of the shorter sides

I wrapped the bottom half of the outside of the FC with gorilla tape..

Then covered the holes with smaller pieces of tape, using a small square of cardboard on the upper left edges to create and easy to remove cover.

I have no lid for this FC so I will be using 2 layers of seran wrap. I put it over the lid here to test how well i could seal it.

Here's what it looks like. Opinions? This waiting is killing me, im going to run out of prep work in a matter of days..

Thanks for the interest!
