Starting from scratch...
    #14576454 - 06/07/11 08:15 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

So I am building a fruiting chamber out of a 58 quart Sterilite transparent box and I was going to run some tubing into the chamber that would be connected to a fish air pump to help the fresh air reach the shrooms, however I was also going to drill 1/4" holes in the chamber as I saw on the "Let's Grow Mushrooms!" videos and was wondering if having the holes as well as the air pump would be over doing it. I was also wondering about how much perlite to use, last time I cultivated in a fish aquarium and found that I needed close to six inches of perlite to reach the needed humidity, any help is greatly appreciated!

If you go with the tub you saw on the lets grow mushrooms, use 4-5" of perlite, and ditch the air pump :bigjoint:

I have FINALLY written up a couple teks as to how SHP has done things in the past. DISCLAIMER: This is not for the newbie to mycology, and not going to work for everyone! This is simply what works for one person when other teks and methods have failed miserably!

Ok, my only concern with drilling the holes was that I want to keep the chamber in my closet in which I feel like fresh air will not get to it unless I use a pump, I may just be overthinking it though

Point a fan at your closet from the other side of the room, and leave the door open unless you need to close it...

If 5" of perlite isnt enough, supplement with misting...
