My 2 ¢ I'd get your sgfc ready anyway and use it on that one cake that way its ready for the next 12 and all you'd have do is possibly refresh your perlite when the 12 are ready to fruit

what i was seriously considering - is there a downfall to soaking perlite now even though the other cakes wont be in there for weeks? it seems like a waste to keep a 55 gallon tub humid for one cake when i can use a 2 liter with holes everywhere and perlite at the bottom then cut some saran wrap and put it over the top

could too much humidity be a problem if i used a few inches of perlite just for one cake? or be ok or completely un-needed?

cuz i dont want to have to mist the sides TOO much and i think if i use a good amount of perlite it should reduce how often i have to spray it

2 liters are a little narrow IMO.

Use a Hawaiian Punch jug, it's a perfect little SGFC with enough room for a full flush
Assuming you have all the supplies to make a large SGFC, follow the directions below

1. Keep the lid of the jug!

2. Drill your 2"x2"x2" holes

3. Cut it in 1/2 horizontally, add the perlite and cake. Then put the top half back on the bottom as if they weren't cut

4. Tape ONE of the four sides with a few layers  of duct tape or sturdy tape like that (this is    going to be a hinge)

5. Tape the other three sides closed with masking tape or the like, the cake should be sealed into the SGFC at this point. Screw the cap on if it wasn't already and your done.

6. Mist through the top of the jug, and point a fan towards it for 10-15 mins every couple hours or just have a fan running in the room but not directly pointing at it for adequate FAE without having to open the chamber until your shrooms are ready.

7. When your flush is ready, un tape the masking tape, and pick the magic.

8. Dunk the cake for 24 hrs and repeat 5-8 for your second and third flushes

How the hypercommunication mode operates is a secret which will not be lightly given to man. But the means should be obvious: it is the occurrence of psilocybin and psilocin in the biosynthetic pathways of my living body that opens for me and my symbiots the vision screens to many worlds"

Not with cakes, they're smaller in mass so they contain less water. Maintaining humidity at 85-95% R.H is desired when fruiting in a poor mans pod, the roll in vermiculite is to aid in humidity to prevent the cake itself from drying out.

I've been discussing Co2 in other threads and from others experiences and my own some p.cubensis can fruit much better in low F.A.E environments while others suffer. So hopefully it's a novelty that can fruit in a low F.A.E environment such as a poor mans pod which relies on small air volume to humidity the space.

exactly what i wanted, and ty i completely forgot about the dollar tree 3 liter bottles!

except what would you have to say about doing this -

Materials
Perlite, tupperware, 3 liter bottle, scissors, PF cake

take the bottle, drill the holes everywhere, then cut off the parts that arent as wide as 90% of the bottle so its diameter is constant throughout the bottle- then taking a tupperware dish, drilling holes in it filling it with wet perlite place tinfoil on top then cake on top of tin foil, then you can place the cut bottle in the perlite to cover the cake

lift the bottle up to access the cake. easy to fruit, harvest, mist, and fan

What is the shape of the tupperware? I'd say you probably want the same shape/size as the 3-liter bottle. If it's rectangular or square and theres exposed perlite when you put the bottle on top I'd think the air will dry out the exposed areas and eventually under the bottle too. You don't really want to be messing around trying to get the water content right on the perlite all the time, strain it once through a colander till it doesn't drip anymore and your excess water from the mists that drip down will keep it wet enough for the duration of a few flushes (in normal SGFC conditions)

just squeeze test it, no need to make it extra wet that will just slow down colonization, you can just dunk or water it when the time comes if ya want

So squeeze not too hard and a couple drops should come out, if i use all my strength a nice stream should come out for a second. or is that too wet?
