Hey, I'm new here and just wanted to clarify - does the SGFC need to have a clear lid, or can it have a solid color since there are going to be holes drilled into the lid?

Clear is best but you can get light in from the sides

Yes you can fruit a tray in a sgfc, ull want to keep the tray elevated off the perlite a bit to allow air flow n evaporation through the perlite. Yes you should keep misting just enough to keep proper surface conditions
It can work but probably not the most ideal route , you should look into shoe boxes

thank you for your answer,
as i understood at fruiting stage i keep misting everything inside sgfc also the shrooms. i keep some space from the colonized substrate and the perlite and this works for straw substrate but not the best method. correct me if i have anything wrong.
do i have to sterilize perlite before i put it in SGFC? and if its yes, how?
can you post a link how to build a shoe box please?
thanks again!

Depends how big ur substrate is, you dont want the whole surface area of ur sgfc covered other wise it defeats its purpose, they really work better with just cakes, bulk in a sgfc is just impractical IMO. Id just go mono or a shoebox.
Check out the tek sticky at the top of the forum, everything you could want to know is there, its a wonderful thing

Those are some interesting looking potatoes u have there.
The SGFC should be about a foot from any wall.

Dont worry about the room's ambient rH. What matters is making sure the INSIDE of your SGFC doesnt dry out. it can have varying moist (from misting) and drying out (from ambient air), just make sure it never becomes bone dry. Must be somewhat moist inside at all times. Dried out substrates is a shroom killer.
And yes, 6000K light is fine. Lumes, not sure on that one. But at least 25watts output for a small SGFC I would argue.

Fanning isnt necessary. The SgFC takes care of that.
No need to grind up the verm. Just dunk cakes then roll in verm. U can grind it if u want, but unecessary.
I use a 26watt CFL in the daylight specktrum (6000k). Any desklamp will work.
