hello world.






I fucking told you guys.

Ziran how did you feel about the maintenence level of the tub?




I mist like twice a day sometimes 3 times. And the chamber is about this full. I also have removed the tray cause she contamned out after the first flush :frown: but that's okay, the FAE went thru the roof to where it needs to be for cakes now.  I feel this is a chamber where if its about half to 1/2 to 3/4's full it performs better. But most new growers don't end up with a packed full SGFC anyways, So it would definitely work better for newer people.

So you feel it still needs a lot of misting even though it's holding humidity better?

If I'm gonna do a side by side I think I want to do it as close to "set and forget" as possible.

On a good day, I've misted once. on the days I'm here to watch surface conditions its 2 to 3 times. I feel it can go a day or two without misting and be a lot better off than a SGFC would be. No bluing and I've had a day and a half no misting a few times.

Bout as often as some of the mini mono's I've done where my tape wasn't tight enough. I feel if I tighten up the tape it would be even less misting.

I'll do another round of cakes and tighten up the MP tape even more and see where that gets us.

These two cakes were on the days I missed my misting a few times.

Damn, this is a great idea. Wish I wouldve seen this when I first started. Probably wouldve worked out better for me. I definitely agree that SGFCs are more prone to drying problems, specially for noobies like myself.

Will definitely try this if I ever do cakes again.

another cake update. Some are on their 2nd - 3rd flushes. I've only been bottom watering the cakes versus dunking them. Had 2 cakes go down due to trich, but fuck they were on 3rd-4th flush. So fuck I can't complain.

Got several cakes going for my first grow, after searching for a good hybrid for a while, this post came up at the right time!
Two 120ml cakes started pinning in their jars last weekend so i built this and fruited them, I found pins on one last night (5 days)! Very under filled (80L) FC right now though.

The chamber placement is a little weird but it's the best I could think of. I live in a small cold (<15c) flat, so it's in a corner by my pc which is mining, puts out a little airflow and heat. internal temp doesn't drop below 17 at night, with a lamp on top in the day it's at 22c.

I had been misting 3 times a day, fanning straight after plus 2 more times between. Starting to get the hang of it, noticing hydration and going by how I feel.
Thought I saw some light bluing this morning, filled the lid with water (after seeing pins last night), it's either gone or wasn't there. If it was then it's most likely due to over fanning.

Will get some pictures when I can figure that out.

Never fan, that's the beauty of this fruiting chamber. Mist only when the cakes look dry.

I'm really digging how I'm doing my dunking now. I'll release how I've been doing it later down the road. Added a few more cake updates to OP

Some More 2nd and 3rd flushes

another good 2nd flush.



I was also noticing that they wanted more FAE so I took one piece of tape off of one of my bottom holes. seemed to help a bit.

Not sure what flush these two cakes are on. But by god. I'm pretty sure its flush 3 or 4. Only 6 cakes left.

I plan on using this set up, trying to get a good idea on how much perlite to order for a similiar sized tub. How many quarts of perlite did you use?
