Re: Could I use a fishtank for growing mushrooms? [Re: CheeseBurgler]

Okay thank you.  I was wondering what it may be.  I mean, they look okay, but they look week.  They aren't as chipper as other pics I have been seeing this past month.  Like you said, lack of light or fresh air... I'm no pro.. :rolleyes:

These mushrooms are crying for fresh air.
Next time use a shotgun FC to get good results.

I tried the SGFC (if you click on previous page there are photos)and it wasn't working too well. As soon as I transferred the cake to the propagator they accelerated and many more have pinned. I'm trying to sort it out but like I said I'm starting another terrarium with a heater, ultrasonic humidifier and air pump etc. etc. probably on Wednesday. I have another 6 colonised or near colonised cakes.

Mushroom Kit

Actually their terrarium is similar to the heated propagator I am trying to use!

The kit title is a slightly tongue n cheek!

fortunately, what you're looking at is nothing more than gloves, verm, BRF jars, and a FC, all of which you can make/do/buy  yourself for MUCH cheaper than 38 US dollars.

instead of paying out the grill for a one-timer, please try using your SGFC again, but make sure it is to spec first (1/4 holes, 2 inches apart, on all six side, 5-ish inches of perlite) and that you maintain it correctly (misting and fanning appropriately).

i'm not sure how far you got your first try, but please read stuff, and read it again, and again.
heres some good ones.

yip did the SGFC to spec, but I think the ambient temperature was too low and I had 2 1/2" of perlite.

As long as we get shrooms for this weekend it'll be worth it, I have plenty more cakes and new equipment to use!

If you really did it all to spec and such, you may be putting your chamber in the wrong place. Cramped places like closets, small rooms, and basements aren't the best for getting FAE. Those are usually in need of a fan to push the air along.

Thank you for an intelligible response unlike the minority of smug gits on this site! :cool:

The SGFC was in a small bedroom sitting aloft a table just under the window. It was only a 20L container which could be a factor but I think it needed a fan as you so rightly suggest. The ambient temperature was also possibly slightly too low.

I'm building a mechanised 50L fruiting chamber tomorrow, Ultrasonic, heated, perlite/clay pellet, airpump with diffusers. I am going to wire up an 80mm computer fan on a 4.5V line. I am going to build the fan into the lower part of the chamber to extract air. The small fan and US humidifier will be on electronic timers. The heater stays on and has a thermostat. I am playing it by ear but I probably won't shotgun it to the extent of a SGFC, however I will see how it goes and adjust the setup. I used PC fans very effectively years ago in a fish tank setup.

At least us "smug gits" know that you need more than 2 1/2" of perlite :wink:

If they have dictionaries where you come from Fat Guy I suggest you start using it, however if your expansive achievements reached the dizzy heights of knowing how much perlite to use then you quite possibly will not grasp such a concept.

:heart:

Please don't resort to insulting. The "smugness" of the community stems from hundreds of people asking the same questions about the same situations; they also expect to get tailored, let-me-hold-your-hand answers. I also failed to mention on the perlite situation. You do need more perlite depth. And please thank the community for pointing it out.
Your newly suggested setup sounds expensive, exotic, and high maintenance. I wouldn't use all that stuff just to grow some mushrooms unless I was trying to start a business, and then I wouldn't be doing cubes. The custom rigged fan sounds a little extreme too; a fan should be on and in the room, not directly blowing on the mushrooms.
Lastly, the pictures posted earlier in this thread showcasing a forced air system with the aquarium has the problem that both the feeder port and exit ports are on the top, this will only circulate air in the top of the chamber and not throughout.
