Back at it.. New setup
    #23559154 - 08/20/16 05:04 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

This setup is only temporary until I get a PC to start bulk.. but cakes for now.

I had been using a SGFC for about two years about a year ago.

The SGFC worked very well as it was dialed in and had the open area in the room I was growing them in, at the time.. I have since moved and have a roommate (one that I don't know, as it's student living and we were put w/ a random student - I live near campus as my fiance is about to graduate the university..But, anyway,,

Space and location of FC is very limited.. but, alas I found a spot that will suffice.. Using this new style FC (with an ultrasonic cool mist) I'm able to be much more discreet and it seems to get the job done well (on par w/ SGFC or better)granted you know what the mushrooms and mycellium need as far as conditions to thrive..

I've been running the ultrasonic on low for most of the day..draining out the pan/FC when it's about .75 inches or so. I know most people frown upon using humidifiers, but honestly I've been getting better results with this as opposed to last FC (SG)..

Tips and criticism are highly welcome as I want to maximize my output before jumping into bulk subs!

View from the outside (it's in my bathroom - not anywhere near the commode, that's a separate room)


Side view - level with FC


Cakes before draining the tub (dunked - didn't roll considering the ultrasonic, didn't seem necessary versus rolling in verm then adding into a SGFC - yesterday) just put them in 



This is how they are sitting now.. notice some cakes have kind of lines, well the light kinda bumped a few of them and left those lines from the light reflector ( they should be all right )

Looks janky...how are you preventing the cakes from becoming waterlogged???  Probably work out bettrr for you to roll in vermiculite

That's not an SGFC; where're all the holes? Where's the perlite?

Maybe if you dunked and rolled the cakes they might have done better in the SGFC.

when I had my SGFC it worked great and I did dunk for twenty-four hours, then rolled in verm..

Dank, correct. I never said it was. This is my 'non-SGFC' FC.

I prevent cakes from being water logged by only running my ultrasonic certain times, as it's on a timer.. all I do is waft it for AE, but the ultrasonic pretty much keeps up with FAE.

When I had my SGFC it worked like a champ, about as good as this.

I am doing this because I cannot have a SGFC because of spacing issues. . . .

First three cakes I got about 2 weeks ago..





over 19 grams dried off of 3 cakes..


EDIT: you can look through my photos from my previous grow when I had my SGFC and compare the harvests.. they're about on par with one another.
