My homemade fruiting chamber: will it work?
    #14264385 - 04/09/11 08:55 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I have made a FC with a tupperware container a icecream container and a fish air filter. Look 0.0 at pics..


My plan is to fill up half way to the icecream container and then turn on air so it blows bubbles in water, so there is oxygen around,
I will instal a fan and drill holes?
The cake sits in the icecream container on perlite or whatever else is avalable..
it will have either a lamp sitting above it or some cristmas lights(led) ( which one will work better)

Does this look like it will work?
Im kinda new to this and im looking for a system that works itself,

And are there any things i can do to improve it?
Thanks for any help

You can improve it by taking everything out of it and drilling holes in it and putting wet vermiculite in the bottom :smile:

You could take everything out like said, and build yourself a shotgun FC and be good money :thumbup:
Put wet perlite on the bottom. No verm.

The shotgun fruiting chamber, as written in Ezekiel 3:15 of the Roger Rabbit bible, is the most efficient and elegant design to keep fresh air flowing and humidity high in a fruiting chamber. Plus it costs ~$5.

Drill holes, 1/4" in diameter, every 2 inches, across all 6 sides. 5" or so of perlite (which seems like a lot in bags) and you're golden. Elevate it a few inches above the bottom surface so air can come in.

BTW have you watched any of RR's Let's Grow Mushrooms videos?

For light, 12 on and 12 off helps establish a rhythm. Get a cheap energy efficient bulb that outputs light in the 6500k color range, which simulates daylight spectrum. It won't be a normal light bulb, it'll be one of the twisty new CFL lights. They sell them everywhere, drugstores even sell them here for about $5.

You can use any lighting enclosure for the bulb, no fancy reflectors or anything as long as the light is hitting the FC evenly. Normal daylight works as well, just indirect.

I have about 50 of those lights, the energy saving ones.
So pretty much leave on all day and off all night? Or does it have to be more constant rhythem?

Thats what I do but others prefer the 12 hour cycle. Its not going to hurt it either way.

Did you see the video on youtube where everyone sends me $100?  As long as you're following random videos, you should watch that one.

(build a SGFC)
