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?

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?
