sgfc
    #21523370 - 04/09/15 09:51 AM (9 years, 1 month ago)

So I know it was stupid of me to be lazy about this but when making my sgfc I didn't have a drill and had to resort to heating up a screw driver with a torch and poking holes through the plastic. I was able to get 16 holes on each of the long sides, only 5 holes on each of the short sides 10 holes on the bottom and 18 holes on top before the torch ran out. I then birthed 2 cakes into my sgfc and it maintains 99% humidity easily with about 4 listings a day. I fan about 6 or 7 times a day because I'm very aware of my less than sufficient fruiting chamber. I have about 2 inches of soaked perlite on the bottom as well.

So my question is... Should I take the cakes out now that I have a drill and finish up the chamber or just continue fanning? I know taking the cakes out won't really harm them much especially just for less than an half hour but I'm just wondering if its worth it since after these cakes fruit I plan on making a new bigger sgfc after the first flush during the dunk. Pictures coming soon.

Q) Should I take the cakes out now that I have a drill and finish up the chamber
A) Yes, and add more Perlite.

Shortcuts in this hobby tend to end with shitty results. The choice is yours, but it sounds like you already know the answer and are just looking for reassurance. So listen to Adept. :cool:
