Trying to build a fc. Got some questions
#22167201 - 08/30/15 11:21 PM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

So I'm trying to move away from my duel bins. I keep getting spores floating around covering stuff I want to use a single bin. Or build a box.
I need it to be 2x3 feet, 2 feet in height. Can't find any totes that size.
Any suggestions? And any idea how to stop spores like weather proofing between the lid? Or other ideas?
I use a cool mist so there's positive pressure.

Not sure what "duel bins" are, or what kind of box you want to build, but when mushrooms spores go everywhere that is a sign of good FAE.....

Why that specific size?

Are you talking about contaminant spores? If so there is no way to stop that, fruiting is done in open air....
You do not want positive pressure, you want passive FAE and tons of evaporation....

I run two bins with a "safe light in a mono tek" and my cool mist for fae.
So when my Shrooms are mature they drop spores. And leak out the gap between the lid and bin. Even with a hole cut for air to escape.
And the specific size is for this shelf I have. Right now I have one section plasticed off. But the spores form a light layer.
I need something cleaner before my ocd explodes.

Please post a pic, still not sure what u mean....and the holes in a monotub give you FAE....a humidifier is only going to saturate your substrate and hurt you....

There should be several holes for FAE stuffed with polyfill in a monotub, but you are pumping in cool mist regardless, the spores have to go somewhere, and there only choice is your "hole for air to escape" or the lid.......

Build a proper fruiting chamber and not something that pumps moist air into a box where mushrooms that produce spores are developing......
Research a SGFC for cakes, or a monotub for bulk....both can be found in my signature....

If you weren't creating positive pressure in the tub the spores would most likely remain in the tub....

They get pushed out.
Air gets pumped in = air gets pushed out.

That's going to happen no matter what chamber you have if you are not around to harvest before they eject spores...a simple solution is to grow some penis envy

They get pushed out.
Air gets pumped in = air gets pushed out.
Every positive action has a negative reaction.
Exactly my point.....

All of my monotubs have "automaic fae", which is passive, and the spores stay in each container.....
