2 Litre Coke Bottle?

Okay, I have a cake that is, well...anyway, i read about a makeshift terrarium that consists of a 2 litre coke bottle cut in half, and some perlite on the bottom, does this method work? Just wondering. Perhaps it's a method my son could try...."for something" to do? What do you guys/gals, think?

It works, you need to mist and fan a lot more though

well, a found a mushed up bad of vermiculite and what looked like horse shit from across the street, under his bed in a shoe box. was wondering where my B+ spore print went..anyway, i suppose if he's gonna dabble, i'd find a better way for him to do it than putting a bunch of shit together in a bag(the wrong way of course) and waiting to see what happens. I think the two-litre bottle will be a good start....

actually, i was just looking, and im going to buy him Four, 1quart jars or grain spawn or rye berries, his choice, and 4 one pound bags of Magic Mountain Compost. I'll throw in a couple of my equadorian syringes for him to use.....still trying the coke bottle though.

i provided the links, so you could read his methods yourself...I have only grown in soda bottles my very first grow..since it was my first and only time doing cakes...so I cant answer the questions..
I do know that I remember reading last year that he drills 4 small holes in the lid of the jar when he does them that way..

what did you do exactly? use the top half of the bottle and allow it to give gae from the top hole and mist and fan? cycles? i am very interested in this tek it looks way sweet for a single cake experiment.

Yea man, it's pretty nea toe! I wish I was more computer literate, and could figure out how to post my many picts....There is around 20-30 mushies on that one cake. However, i'm sure some are soon to abort, but for what it is, it is working swell....
