1 inch of perlite won't do a thing for you bro.  You need more, and you should make sure the holes are 2 inch evenly spaced on all 6 sides :thumbup:

Yeah, more holes, more perlite and ditch the air pump. It was just a waste of money. Sorry.

Hook the air pump up to a big CO2 cartridge on an auto timer and stick in in your MJ grow room:thumbup:

So straight grains with straight verm topping is not a casing? Lol
An airpump will bring nothing at all to the project?
But more holes will?

Lol I give up on this site already, full of people who would ask how to fill a glass with water correctly an those who think they know it all lol an as for me trolling, seriously?

See ya peeps I'm sure ill be able to grow at least a shroom unaided by all your such positive input, thought this site may be like similar mj sites but its not!

:whatshesaid:
  As a fellow noob, with only one very successful PF grow under my belt, research, research, research.  If theres one thing this hobby has taught me, it is to be patient.  When I first started reading this site, it was so overwhelming, I could read for days and days and have more questions than I started with. 
Check this post out, a super helpful link with advice from our trusted cultivator RR.  I'd also buy his videos, as they contain everything you need.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8468463/fpart/all/vc/1

As for the PMP (Poor Man's Pod), which it sounds like your trying to make, is honestly a waste of time and money.  And I'm saying this from experience.  I got decent flushes out of my cakes, but as previously stated, it's harder to dial in.  One should have at least 4 exchanges of air an hour, which in a big tub, needs a HUGE air pump.  Do some research on shotgun Fruting Chambers, or just go with grain, and spawn to a mono tub, which doesn't require much attention.  And regarding taking offense to others posts, don't take it personally, people are only trying to help! :thumbup: 
Best of luck!  :biggrin:

There are two great terrarium designs that the majority of users on this site use.  Monotubs and Shotgun terrariums.  Both these designs have the advantages of having no moving parts, having no need for electricity (+water=danger), and working really well.

I spent a few hundred dollars building a Poor Man's Pod to spec. (PMP is a design similar to what you're describing but using LECA as an evaporative medium).  It did work.  It was also really heavy, and sometimes the water turned a bit skunky, and the bubble wands clogged with red sand.  Eventually it sprung a leak and leaked all over my floor.  Luckily I had kept my power bar off the ground.  Since my tub already had one hole in it I figured drilling more was the way to go, and I converted it into a shotgun terrarium , and I never looked back.

I think u missed my post on where in at now I ditched the PMP an nw have
1 80l monotub
1 120 litre tub with 3 cased trays in (all diff substrates)
3 10l buckets (all with diff substrates)

Gonna just see which 1 gives me the best results an suits me best an stick with that just multiply it :smile:

I have an airpump on the tub with 3 casings on box says 300l an hour, so is replenishing the air just over twice an hour,

A few peeps are saying this is pointless yet noone has stated any logic to that?

The way I see it is I'm getting plenty of FAE with a pump that would just be obsolite if I never used it, its definatley not going to be causing any negative effects so I'm willing to just leave it all as is an see what happens!

Unless anyone can give me a logical reason why a pump that is relenishing twice an hour is non beneficial but drilling loads of wholes an leaving is...

I'm not saying I'm 100% right but as I said I have a lot of diff teks goin at moment an I'm sure ill find the best method for myself

Tried to keep the raw substrate amount in each project roughly the same (each tray and bucket, monotub is double amount) so will see wht the BE is of each 1 first flush, best 1 wins :smile:

because our goal is to have constant/passive fae for optimum results, an air pump just doesn't cut it for most of us

Did you notice I put 'cased trays' instead of 'casings' that was purely for you :wink:
