need I case cakes while using air pump and hydroton rocks Humidifier?
    #21085073 - 01/07/15 11:06 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

Folks:

I am a noobie using a midwest growkit with air-pump Humidifier and hydroton rocks.  My question is should I dunk and case the cakes before placing them on top of the perlite or should there be plenty of moisture in the chamber with the air-pump and hydroton set-up?

much thanks

Always dunk and roll (case) your cakes. Verm is preffered for the roll but any pastuerized casing material will work, its just does not stick to the cake as well. Also you will find little love for any grow kit, especially one that uses air pumps which often do more harm than good. Research the shotgun fruiting chamber or SGFC.

Pastywhite:

my problem there is I travel alot so cannot babysit the FC for misting and venting so I don't really have an option right now.  So I need to find a process where I can be away for a week and not have to worry.  IS there a better process to facilitate that.
much thanks

Yeah just don't worry about it. The SGFC was designed to not really need misting etc. If you live in a dry climate then it might not be as ideal so at that point I would look into monotubs and spawning to bulk. Mini monotubs are easy to spawn with cakes. Check my sig for more info.
