2 liter bottle grow

okay just so you all know. I already used the search engine and got most of the information I needed. but I was wondering if I should put a few holes down right above the perlite and where the cake starts so I can have a little CO2 come out? and other suggestions?

If you can spare 6$ on a tub and already have the perlite make a SGFC. Otherwise yea maybe you'll get some fruits.

This is also known as an early bump too. Just edit your original post if you want to add a question.

If I were you I would do what Bodhisatta said, and just buy a tub and make a SGFC. But if you decide to do the bottle method you will want plenty of holes (every two inches on all sides) because of the fact that mushrooms breath oxygen and breath out CO2 so you want plenty of FEA(Fresh Air Exchange).

Hell no, if you are doing 15 cakes then make a SGFC... It would be pointless to have so many bottles with one cake in each...

This.
Also be careful who knows you grow. It's not like pot where 3 plants is a slap on the wrist. Any trace of active mush is a felony and local cops like any chance to get their pats on the back.

Trust us dude just build a sgfc. You won't regret it. For that many cakes I would either get 2 66qt sterilite bins or 1 105qt sterilite bin.
You want the all clear ones with the blue latches for the lid. They work the best imo. I use the 66qt ones for my monotubs and when I did cakes I used the 105qt for a sgfc. Worked great!

lol well thank you. her friend said she doesn't care as long as she doesn't see them. my girlfriend was thinking about scooting her bed over like a foot and putting all the bottles down there. she has a huge bed so I doubt itd even be noticeable.

You could put the bet diagonally into a corner of the room and use the triangle space behind the head board
Here is this if you need it.

I am highly recommending you do the sgfc. It will give you better results

if your using 2 liter bottles you have to understand a few things... your fruits are going to be small. fae is going to be very hard to maintain. if you poke to many holes ur humidity will be trash. if you poke too few you will have very low fae. its gonna be hard to maintain. with that said. no 2 liter bottles are not good to grow in. also there is a ton of information about them just search 2 liter bottle terrarium.

Bummer man. I think I would rather do a few real small sgfc out of the small bins than I would a 2 liter bottle. You know the little bins that aren't much bigger than a shoe box. That would probably work better than a 2 liter but idk. I don't have experience fruiting in 2 liters or small bins
Just a thought

The problem with 15 bottles in 15 different places is 15 different environments with air flow, specific temps ect. One large sgfc is the most efficient work wise and will also give bigger yeilds. Look up grows like large dose's I think. You could male a couple smaller ones and stack em. All I see are bottle stashed under the sink, in the cupboards, behind the couch so on and so forth. There isn't a closet or something?
