Looking for good Shotgun tek * 1
    #16174633 - 05/02/12 11:37 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I've been using the search bar with little luck.  Can someone help me find a good tek for building and using a shotgun fruiting chamber please?

ok here it goes its real simple
put 1/4 inch wholes 2inches apart the whole way around the tub
start from the top of the perlite and go up as high as you can go
each row of wholes should be staggerd and 2inches apart
then do the same thing for the bottom of the tub

Do I need anything on the bottom?  Seems like the perlite could fall through the bottom holes or drain water?  I knor the bottom holes are needed for airflow, I just don't wana mess up and make a huge mess lol.

yes you can put a garbage bag or something under it
and the tote itself has to be lifted off the ground a little

Just do the whole tub, don't start at the top of the perlite. You want 1/4" holes 2" apart around the WHOLE thing

you can do that either way works
i just start mine right at top of perlit so when the heavier co2 drops out the bottom
it will bring fresh air in right where the cakes are

CO2 does not settle out of air. Is that myth still going around?

Make your sgfc correctly:
1/4" hole every two inches all the way around all six sides.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?
