Shoebox help
    #23846442 - 11/18/16 07:51 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Is it ok after my shoebox is colonized to just put it in my regular sgfc that i use for pf cakes with the shoebox lid off? Basically like a tray?

Just a straight up white bag over that sucker? Then what pull it once or twice a day to fan and mist?

I like that even better lol simplicity is key. No watering necessary till between the second flush (dunk or mist)?

Beautiful! Thank you for lending a hand as i try and step it up into the world of bulk. Your teks and input are a huge inspiration. You definitely got 5shrooms from me and for good reason brother! I say TC tag for ya. Glad i decided to go this route rather than top fruit. If all goes well this will really step it up from pf cakes. Thank you for all your help and input!

When you make it your own fruiting chamber do you modify it in any way munch? I was throwing around the idea of taking another 6.5 qt container and drilling it out in the 2x2 grid like a sgfc only on the 5 sides (since its lacking a lid) kind like a dub tub without poly. You think that would work.  It seems like the same principal as bod was talking about with throwing a bag over it with slits with the added bonus of being used many times over, and i have plenty of those containers

the tubs in my picture are unmodified. the lids are snapped all the way on. i don't give them any sort of special treatment. for this particular box, which is available at all krogers, king soopers, city markets, and probably lots of other grocery stores for $1 a piece. i've been using them for a few years and I started out modifying them but the ultimately found unmodified worked fine and was foolproof.

Nice how many qt are those ? And you use a 1qt:1qt ratio on yours right?

I like the "turn it into its own fruiting chamber" idea.  I'll have to try that.
This pic is my latest shoebox fruiting now, 2qts oat spawn to CV in an unmodified  tub.

6 qt and yes its 1:1 any more and they wouldnt fit inside :lol: but really its about the sub depth and 1:1 gets me to a nice spot that performs well. and if they grow too tall i just pop a 2nd tub on top to make it a dub tub.

So this is what i was talking about kinda a dub tub but with a 2x2 grid drilled like a sgfc. You think it will work? If not i can dial it in with micropore tape or just make a top with poly holes. Also during the spawn should i snap the lid tight or leave a small gap for ge?

The top tub is to just show the idea the bottom tub has its own lid on right now but it latches pretty tight. Thats why i ask about latching it or leaving a small gap for ge
Bump to get input on top tub design

Bump to get input on top tub design Sgfc style as opposed to mono style
