i dont think hes bought anything yet. 

friis if you havent bought a kit yet and you have a tub to make a sgfc why not just try making your own cakes? 12 half pint jars $10, brown rice flour (whole brown rice if you have a coffee grinder to make flour yourself) a few bucks. 8qt verm $6 and your perlite 8qt also $6 and a pot with a lid for sterilizing. add that up and compare to kits you find. and keep in mine your jars will be better than theirs cause they are fresh and you know exactly whats in them

or did  you just mean you havent gotten your kit in the mail yet?

I have not gotten it in the mail yet, probably will come this week. While that is just sitting in whatever sgfc i can come up with tommorow, i will be reading more, and taking notes on what i need to buy for that monotub. and spacechilddo, I bought 2 kits, there are in each of them, 425g sterilised rye, vermiculite, perlite, alcohol swap, spore syringe, a plastic box for the grow, and a plastic bag that should work as a mini grow room. What i just wanted to do after reading here, was make a small sgfc, after the mycelium have grown and i've got the box of completely colonized substrate, take it out of the box, place it on foil in sgfc like in the various guides here? Instead of using that small plastic bag as grow room :frown:

aaaaah! "best" of both worlds :wink:

still throw away the instructions and forget everything it said. its just :wow:

sgfc's shouldn't be small, you need 4-5" of perlite, cakes and head space for shrooms to grow.

buy a brick of compressed coir. How much perlite is there?
could be easier to do a dub-tub or buy a small tote as a mini mono.

if you wanna do pf-cakes next just buy more perlite, if not buy a PC.

I've reconsidered the plastic box i have, it's probably too small.. I will buy a larger and clear one tommorow too. There is 400ml of perlite in each kit, so 800, and 200ml vermiculite in each, so 400. But as i said, i'll go buy a bag of perlite tommorow, i am guessing that 800ml wont be enough to cover 4-5''. So shopping list is a large clear plastic container, and a bag of perlite, for now. I guess i might even have to buy a drill for them holes.

I am new, those terms.. :laugh: dub-tub?
And my previous question, is it any special kind of perlite and vermiculite i need to be looking for? I dont know if there are different kinds.

Compressed coir? That's for monotub right? I'll be trying that tek at a later point from scratch. For now just those damn kits in a sgfc.

Another question, when these guides says misting and fanning, i get that misting, but fanning? Should i just take a fan and point it down in the plastic box/sgfc for a while? :p Sounds like a silly question, but my english is not at its best and i forget words :frown:

Just fan it for 10-20 seconds with the lid. The purpose of which is to create evaporation from the surface which is a pinning trigger.

We fan for a drop in humidity, to make room in the air for evaporation to take place.

We only fan out the chamber after misting the cakes/substrate, to aid in evaporation.
