    #23598739 - 08/31/16 07:38 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

So I let them consolidate about 4 days ( I know I should wait a week I was just so excited) dunked for 24 hours rolled in some dry verm and put them in this fruit chamber has holes on all four sides and on the lid and 1inch of perlite on the bottom I mist and fan daily. Are they looking ok I literally birthed about 16 hours ago

You want holes 1/4 inch diameter and 2 inches apart on all 6 sides and 3-5 inches of perlite
Your cakes could use a better roll in verm. Did you dunk them for 24 hours?

you need holes in the bottom to utilize the sgfc design. ALL SIDES HAVE HOLES. no need
to fan. only mist if cakes look dry.. you need more holes. comebackkid is 100% holes 2inches apart around the whole thing. also keep the sgfc off a rigged surface. prop up with extra jars/lids or whatever but you need to open holes on the bottom!! some perlite will fall through the holes but bfd(big fuckin deal)

you did dunk:thumbup:

Hard to tell with those pics, but it doesn't look like much perlite either. Also, trim down some of that foil. You want it to be better exposed to that humid microclimate. (or at least thats my understanding of why, all i know is DO IT lol)

the more surface area the perlite has the more effective it is. so yah crowding it with too many cakes or foil is no good. just use the jar lid. save the foil for baking potatoes :p

To prevent cracking, go in reverse. As in lefty loosey.
It'll take longer but the friction helps to soften the plastic.

Make sure u have enough perlite too.

A hole saw attachment for a basic drill works wonders. Perfectly drilled holes in less than 30 seconds

You still need to fan on occasion with an SGFC, mainly for about a minute or so after misting.  You'll notice if you don't, excess CO2 will build up near the bottom of your cakes or in crevices of the sub and it'll fill with a fuzzy mat of Myc.  It'll be one less place a pin will form. 

Fanning also helps a little with evaporation, gets the process going because you are fanning out the humid air, which is a good thing at times.  SGFCs work best when humidity rises and falls throughout the day.  It'll be the difference between just the top or bottom pinning and the whole cake pinning.  :smile:.  Cheers.

When rolling your cakes make sure theyre still wet and bury them in a bowl of verm. Gently press the verm onto the cake. Make sure you get as much as you can on there.

With a sgfc you never need to fan. You only mist when the cakes dry oyt naturally and then you mist untill you see beads pf moisture in your verm layer

Mist the cakes 3-5x a day, or whenever you see them dry out.
Make sure to keep a small fan running in the same room pointed away from the tub.
There's no need to mist the walls, it is the surface of the cakes you should be concerned with
