First time cultivation, tell me what ya think!
    #23567118 - 08/22/16 07:42 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hey everyone...yes I'm a noon..but I have done my homework...I think lol.
Things I've used so far (all supplies was bought online pre steralized):
·7cc Thai tantic (some type of cubes)
·4 brf tek 1/2 pint jars
·2 gallon bag of perlite (don't know why they gave me that much)
·vermiculite (for roll)
·humidity\thermometer reader
·leds,florescent lights
·16qt steralite tub
·giant mason jar (like 3-4 gallons)
·steril gloves
·distilled and spring water
·mist gun
So I have 4 brf tek cakes. 1 cake colonized 100% 4 days ago, so I decided I would make that cake a stand alone and have its own chamber, that's where the giant mason jar came into play. I cleaned it with h2o2, steam, soap, more steam and then a final whipe of h2o2. 2.5 inches of damp (not swampy) perlite line the bottom of jar. 12/12 for the light. And I have a small lamp underneath rack to heat the perlite slightly when/if humidity gets to low. Fanning/misting happens every 5 hours by hand. Its been 4 days I birthed my first ever cake, dunked for 18hrs, and then rolled in steralized vermiculite. And set it on a cutout part of a plastic bag on top of the perlite in the middle of the jar.I steralize the closet its in every day. So on day 3 i noticed the white fuzz(pretty happy/don't think its cobwebs),also I'm pretty sure I can see a few tiny heads. Day 4 and there are now white clumps of white fuzz all over the cake pretty consistent.
Like I said first time every trying this (already love the process even without the reward). I love research and leaning so I'm open to all criticism and praise.

Also my giant mason jar is air tight, should I the the bottom rubber part of the lid off so it has a little venting other then me fanning?

Current conditions of jar:
Humidity 80-90% roughly
Tempeture stays at 76-78°

Like I said everyone give me all the input ya can and thanks for the help!!!

That is a rather.. interesting looking fruiting chamber you have going on there.

They will suffocate in there.

You need a SGFC

there's some single cake fruiting chambers but they're nothing like what you came up with there.

you can use a 2 liter soda bottle, riddle it with holes and put your cake on some perlite(not directly on perlite) in there. then mist it a few times a day.

Agreed shogun hole are needed. On the other hand if he fans and mist ten mins apart should be fine. How are baby sitting this. I have that jar form Wal-Mart. Hold achol like a pro. So no aur flow.

Yeah it is a rather odd setup. But yes I will be using the 16qt tub with perlite for the other 3 cakes that I have (bithing in 2 days) and will also be posting that as well when setup. Do you guys think if I open the top cover it with cling/suraan wrap and put holes in that it would be better idea? Also white fuzz is good right just not when it starts looking all cobwebby? Like I said y'all are absolutely right I know its different just wanted to see what happens and wasn't sure if I put a cake in my fruiting tub before the others would it mess things up(probably already answered in another thread) and if anyone sees anything else bad or suggestions let me know

(Message for everyone)
Thanks

No one sold me it, the steralized substrate,perlite,spores were bought online but I came up with the jar idea, and y'all hit one of the main things I was wondering if it would be enough FAE? I fan like clock work every 5 hours,if I fan more and keep the top open for 10 min the mist and close?

White fuzzy can mean a lot of things. High co2, too much water, to little, contams. Thing about cubes is there not picky monotubs with no holes and lid tided a little works just fine even in fruiting. I cant wait to see the pin porn on this one

fanning isn't FAE. FAE is fresh air exchange. You get those from holes in all 6 sides of a SGFC or the bigger holes used in a monotub.

Uhhhh... Doesn't the name imply what FAE is? Replacing the air in the chamber aka let c02 out oxygen in. I don't know what does that besides a fan/wind/compressor/your hand..lol... But correct if wrong but if you put holes in a box and you put it in a closet with minimum air flow it will do close to the same? (I know prolly not as bad as mine lol) constant air cycling is the whole key to it right?

Not... quite.

Imagine you are stuck inside the fruiting chamber and you need to breathe in there all day long.  Do you want someone to come by and fan the box, or do you want it to have enough holes to do it on its own?

Sounds like some very expensive pf cakes. 
I'd recommend the sgfc, along with most people, but I would not recommend drilling holes "in all six sides". At least not the bottom.

Also I will be birthing 3 cakes tonight. This whole setup will be looking a lot more normal to you guys I bet. So dunk 18-20 hours spring water,then roll vermiculite and go, anything to add or its that straight forward? But about the fae that makes sense inocuole! Thanks

:confused2: kenetic, of course holes on the bottom are important too. Why else would we raise the SGFC from the floor, if not for the airflow through the holes in the bottom? That's pretty essential for it's function.

But for 1 cake, do that soda bottle thing. It seems to be popular for a reason.

Watch out, that's not a good sign.  Hopefully she's only like, giving you shit and not actually fussy about it because too many fuckin times does some chick throw away a dude's grow shit or set it on fire or whatever because she feels jealous of it.  If it only happened once or twice I wouldn't even mention it but it happens all the fucking time.  Some ladies really don't like it when you find enjoyment in playing with dicks.

Alright little change. Kinda said hey why not and took out the spout on my chamber so there's a 1 inch hole right above perlite and I opened the top put cling wrap over it and put a 2 inch hole in it. Kinda just gonna see where this one goes. The cakes I birth tonight will be going in a 4 gallon steralite tub. And I'm bring it to work to drill holes for shotgun. But here's what's going on now lol I know its jerryriged to hell

Interesting even if you'll never use one, just for the fact of how it works.




Na i have the space for a bulk grow so this is great. Obviously I'm not gonna go nuts till I get my basics down first.




This is the basics.




Oh absolutely, I was say more along the lines of getting a couple flushes and births under my belt then go on to monotubs. Like I said ill be making one tomorrow for my other 3 cakes.

Ballfro. Dude you need a whole new set up if you want to see fruits from any of your cakes. That whole jar rig you're doing is not going to go anywhere. Your cake is suffocating in there even with that cling film over the top.

Build yourself the SGFC that Inocuole linked you and place your cakes in there.

You already did the dunk and roll which is perf. All you need to do is place your cakes in a SGFC so they can get some FAE and start growing mushrooms.

Constant FAE is a pinning trigger your cake in a jar is missing out huge man.

The only thing you need to worry about after the SGFC is misting your cakes when they start to get dry.

I apologize you already have done all this but this thread was going on too many tangents and was very hard for me to follow.
It was hard to decypher what message was getting through to you, but seeing that cake still in a jar is a huge red flag!

Yeah man aprecciate the input, any tips on the dunk and roll imma do tonight/tomorrow. Clean space, spring water, 18-20 hours. Now I have straight vermiculite what I rolled my last one but didn't stick great, also what if I use a brf cake ground up to roll instead? Any experience or deff no go?

Dont do the ground up brf roll that would be a bad idea.

Fill a bowl with vermiculite.
As soon as you take your cake out of the water, place it in the bowl and bury it in the verm. Gently press the vermiculite on the sides of the cake.
Let it sit under the verm for a few seconds and then carefully pull it out. Try not to let it crumble off too much.
Then set your cake on a piece of tinfoil in your fruiting chamber.
The piece of tinfoil should just be big enough for the cake to sit on. You dont want it too big.
Then scoop some dry verm on top of your cake and leave it for a few hours.

After a few hours give it a good misting, being careful not to aggressively  knock off the verm layer with the spray.
You want to give it a generous misting and eventually want to see beads of moisture in the verm.
Once you achieve this you wait untill the verm layer begins to dry out and then generously mist again.

Hey everyone...yes I'm a noon..but I have done my homework...I think lol.
Things I've used so far (all supplies was bought online pre steralized):
·7cc Thai tantic (some type of cubes)
·4 brf tek 1/2 pint jars
·2 gallon bag of perlite (don't know why they gave me that much)
·vermiculite (for roll)
·humidity\thermometer reader
·leds,florescent lights
·16qt steralite tub
·giant mason jar (like 3-4 gallons)
·steril gloves
·distilled and spring water
·mist gun
So I have 4 brf tek cakes. 1 cake colonized 100% 4 days ago, so I decided I would make that cake a stand alone and have its own chamber, that's where the giant mason jar came into play. I cleaned it with h2o2, steam, soap, more steam and then a final whipe of h2o2. 2.5 inches of damp (not swampy) perlite line the bottom of jar. 12/12 for the light. And I have a small lamp underneath rack to heat the perlite slightly when/if humidity gets to low. Fanning/misting happens every 5 hours by hand. Its been 4 days I birthed my first ever cake, dunked for 18hrs, and then rolled in steralized vermiculite. And set it on a cutout part of a plastic bag on top of the perlite in the middle of the jar.I steralize the closet its in every day. So on day 3 i noticed the white fuzz(pretty happy/don't think its cobwebs),also I'm pretty sure I can see a few tiny heads. Day 4 and there are now white clumps of white fuzz all over the cake pretty consistent.
Like I said first time every trying this (already love the process even without the reward). I love research and leaning so I'm open to all criticism and praise.

Also my giant mason jar is air tight, should I the the bottom rubber part of the lid off so it has a little venting other then me fanning?

Current conditions of jar:
Humidity 80-90% roughly
Tempeture stays at 76-78°

Like I said everyone give me all the input ya can and thanks for the help!!!






So update, dunked today so ill have 3 ready for tomorrow. Took talks advice and here's what I got let me know anything else or improvements
