Styrofoam for casing?
    #22440610 - 10/27/15 03:01 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Could one use those funky little styrofoam buts as casing? I could see how they'd help keep contams out and keep humidity in, but is there something I'm not seeing?

Styrofoam doesn't get moist.

You want moisture and not straight out water if that's what you are getting at.

first of all you don't keep contamination out during fruiting, you fruit in open air, and air is dirty as shit. healthy grows take care of themselves.

I personally think it's a horrible idea but try it out and let us know

I used a bubble wrap casing on this one...open air fruited it...not the best results.

Well I was thinking it would just help trap moisture in the substrate, but maybe as bodh pointed out it would also stop air flow to the substrate. It's just I've seen people get their casing layer contaminated and have to throw everything out, so I was thinking that a completely inorganic casing would avoid such scenarios.

Try using crumpled wax paper if that is your goal.

Just change it out every two days so it doesn't get too soggy.
