Hello all, New to the forum wanted to share my first grow experience, id say it went pretty good I started with the cake method as i heard it is the best way to learn, built my own style terrarium with a make shift humidifier with a ultrasonic mist maker and fish tank air pumps... at first i thought my My-style terrarium was failing so i Made a SGFC but also sent in a hose from he humidifier to keep it less maintenance.
im thinking of trying a monotub, unfortunately i cannot access posts on this forum until i reach a certain number of posts so help me out!! :-)

great job those cakes look aMAZING!! KEEP IT UP AND GET INTO AGar and cloning quick and you'll soar with bulk and monotubs.
   
edit: never seen that weird hybrid tub style...
Are those just standard cakes in there?

haha originally i bought two tubs before really making a plan, did some research as to what the conditions neded were, and ended up flipping one upside down and bolting and hinging it to the other. The hinge actually worked perfectly and is bolted to the outer rim.
I put weather stripping around it and experimented with hole locations. at first i made too few in the bottom got some trich on the first cake i tried (also had no perlite). researched some more sterelized the whole chamber, added perlite, made an elevated tray, and made large holes above and below for exhaust stuffed them with polyfill. so thats how that thing came to be. its actually pretty cool and easy to access the inside.
the cakes are brown rice flour and vermiculite

Dehydrators are the way to go. Ignore the people who say otherwise.

When i tried to access a Monotub tek on this forum i joined it so that i could see it. then it said i needed to wait 14 days and get 10 posts in before i could view it... i think those are the numbers, but that is what i was referring to :-)

Even without being able to access whatever monotub tek you were trying to look at, you did a really goddamn good job for your first grow. Congrats.

Thanks! that is a great thing to hear :-)
one thing im still testing out is my spore print technique. I basically sterilized some cool blue jars i found chopped a cap off with a sterilized razor let it sit for the suggested time and added distilled water after removing the cap.
my plan is to test these spores on a few cakes to make sure there isn't any contamination or issues...

You should get in to agar work. It's excellent for testing for contams and lets you do nifty stuff like make isolates/clones.

Yes i actually just heard about agar and looked into it briefly, it definitely seems like the way to go, i just heard of the spore print method and gave it a go i imagine im probably using some primitive techniques :-) im glad i joined.
