So i decided id like to do a sgfc after all, my cakes are dunking now so i need info quick, haha. So if i made my sgfc, i would have to have it in an opaque bin. The lid of the opaque bin would be off most hours of the day and all hours of the night, would this work ok? Sorry im a noob

No. You will not be able to maintain RH with the lid off. Cut a window, place saran wrap over it and poke some holes in the saran.

The fruiting chamber wont have the lid off, only the bin that it will sit inside of... I was just worried it wont get enough FAE. Id also like to cut some holes in the outer bin as well for when the lid is on it

I'm a little confused with your setup. Is the SGFC going inside of another bin?

yeah basically ill have it inside another bin that is opaque, there will be holes drilled in both bins, and the lid will be off of the outer bin most hours of the day. The only problem i would see would be the fae. Im just trying to have it hidden when my cousin is home...so a few hours each day

No, it will not function correctly.
It is never a good idea to put a SGFC in another bin.

Is there ANYTHING i can do similar to this? i just need a fruiting chamber that can be inside the opaque bin a few hours a day.....
Or even a fruiting chamber i can put a blanket over for a few hours each day/

An opaque cloth or sheet maybe... I don't really know how much it would affect the airflow. Try putting a hygrometer in there to see the rh level with and without the cloth.
SGFCs stay humid through passive airflow. Although you should not have any fans running in the room, you still want it to be elevated and out in the open. Having it in the bin will not only affect the FAE, but the humidity as well.

Yeah.. Well i guess all i can do is try my best.Ill try a thin cloth and put a hygrometer in it. Could an air pump do anything to help? or would that ruin the humidity levels.maybe i can just glue a black cloth to it and cut the same hole pattern. then have a clear lid.

An air pump will mess with the function as well.

The fish will love it.

It's all been tried before with SGFCs: airpumps, fans, humidifiers etc.
They all mess with the airflow which in turn messes with the humidity.
Glueing the cloth seems like a total waste of time. Why not just make your SGFC out of an opaque bin and not worry about covering it up? It sounds like the same end result to me.

I just got this idea to make it out of an opaque bin and not have to worry about anything. Thanks for your help though! :3 no really thanks.ill just do that, should i buy a separate see through lid or just use plastic wrap?

If you can find an opaque bin and a clear lid that would be ideal.
You need holes on the lid so the saran wrap would be a little tricky put 1/4" holes in.
Maybe just cut out a small section on the top lid and put saran wrap over. Just enough so light gets in.

The SGFC was designed to be self maintaining for about 12-14 hours a day.
If you can mist/fan a minimum of 2 times a day you will be fine.
