I have a terrarium tank that's roughly 5-6 gallons. I'm going to be fruiting a 6 oz mycobag real soon and I'm not sure if that will b sufficient in size or not. Considering it will have two inches of perlite on the base, does this leave enough room for the shrooms to grow??

How big of a tote wld u recommend? Like how wide and how tall? It is gonna b a large 6 oz bag so I don't want the mush to be too cramped in there.

Perlite wont do much if there arent holes throughout, including the bottom.

That's what I was figuring , I plan to just make a shotgun style one bit idk how big it shld be. I'm keeping it in the closet and wld prefer it to be a bit stealthy but I want it to be big enough for my 6 oz of colonized substrate.

SGFC's do not work well in a closet, they work off a room's natural air current.

SGFCs do not usually work right in closets....They work off the natural currents in a descent sized room with no running fans.
If you have to hide what your doing, you might wanna think twice about doing it.

I used 66 quart fun, needed two bags of perlite. The closet is a bad place to have a fc, it works with the air currents in a room, which a closet has little.

I don't need to hide it, but there is occasionally a kid over and I'd rather he not even find out. I'm a responsible person and wld never put a child in harm, just cuz I smoke pot and and am experimenting in this hobby doesn't mean I'm irresponsible lol. But wld it b okay if a fan was placed in the clost with it? Or wld it be better off just placing it on the ground in my room?

Just put it in your room, make sure it is elevated to allow air to pass through the bottom.
Or if you have to be stealthy you could try a PMP but I have no personal experience with them though so I can't vouch for how well they work.

Fan will dry it out, as was stated sgfc is designed to work on natural currents with no fans. Also not good to have it on the ground.

Okay this for the input guys. I'll just have to figure out a place to place it . But even if I'm fanning it out plenty times a day it still wldnt do good in a closet?

Not likely...we do not fan for FAE....we fan to promote evaporation.
A SGFC should be getting constant FAE, and if in a closet with no natural air currents, the humidity will not be as high as you would like it either.
This type of chamber does not usually function right in closets.

Any other methods for fruiting that may be just as simple as the sgfc which may work better in a closet perhaps?

Research a PMP setup. It utilizes an air pump and a a bubble wand.
Not really as good as a SGFC, but might just work better for you.
Just make sure you get a descent air pump, if you decide to go that route.
I suggest just using a SGFC tho...or spawn to bulk in a monotub...but you have very little to spawn so....

How exactly do u make a pmp setup?? And I'll have a light placed above the FC. I just don't have too many options when it comes to placement. If its placed in the closet which has vented doors and I placed a fan on low not facing the FC directly but just to circulate air cld that work??

A lot of people say they don't get as good of results with pmps compared to sgfcs but in your situation it will be better than a sgfc.
Or you could just make the leap to monotubs.
