How to decide on a fruiting chamber?
    #19139758 - 11/15/13 05:46 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

There seems to be such a vast variety of FC's that people use. I'm currently going to start with a closed FAE with perlite. humidity fc with an air pump pushing filtered air through. But I'm curious as to what everyone else likes..
What are the pros and cons of FC's such as
-Monotubs
-SGFC
-FAE
-TiT... Etc..

What's a good low maintenance tek anyone would recommend?

SGFC and monotub is the only FC on your list. The others are not FC's.

If you're doin PFtek then SGFC exactly to spec is the only way to go. No cute automation schemes, no air pumps, none of that.

If you're doing bulk, monotub is the way to go, though some people like trays in a sgfc for bulk.

fae is not a fc. it means fresh air exchange and is needed in all fc's.

Make a SGFC(shot gun fruiting chamber)

There's a video you can find at that link that details how to build one. Don't add any extra things just build it to spec and you'll WIN

And also take a look at that first link in my signature, maybe it will help

I ordered a kit and it came with a tub with a hole on one side for a hose that connects to a humidifying hydroton bubbler with an air pump connected by a hepa filter hose. And I thought that would be considered an fae fc since it only has 3 air exchange holes in it its not an sgfc..

sounds like a gimic. Works just as good as all the thing you saw on tv infomercials.

Sounds like it cost a lot and will give you a little.

I made a mini sgfc to test the waters on ny earliest substrate but as for my big tub. I wanna see how the set up works its basically an auto humidifier that will mist the tub for me by having the air pump on a timer that shoots hepa filtered air into the jar of hydroton/water/cotton and connected to the tub by a hose. Then there are 3 polyfilled holes on one side. And perlite on the bottom.. basically its one giant humidity chamber

Why would you pump humidity into a monotub that is self sustaining as it is?

I never understood this part.....

Humidifiers are ONLY useful for greenhouses or martha's....everything else(SGFC, Monotub) is self sustaining.

Basically it's one gigantic waist of resources.

We'll its what the kit said to do and I'm new to this that's why I'm asking.. so maybe I'll just turn it into an sgfc after all

growing shrooms isn't low maintenance. Buying them is.

You can leave a SGFC alone for a few days if you have to but you should be misting and fanning it multiple times a day every day.

Grow kits will start working and be low maintenance when they come with a human to have eyes for you, and do your work for you.

Stop being lazy and trying to find the easy way out. Sack up, do an actual sgfc, and put in the effort. Whatever the hell you just described in your so called "mini sgfc experiment" was an abomination. The sooner you stop trying to do cute automation schemes the sooner you will have a successful grow.

Hope I didn't come off too harsh, but listen to the forum not the halfbaked instructions in your grow kit. When I first started I wanted to be lazy and automate but I found taking care of the mushrooms to be a real pleasure and it actually gave me a deep appreciation of this hobby.
