Should I Put This Kit Into SGFC?
    #25209335 - 05/17/18 01:36 AM (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hey! So as you can see from my kit there is a huge amount of growth trapped in the side of the plastic case... Would it be a good idea to make an sgfc and pop it in there so I can reap the fruits from all sides? If so, would the SGFC have to be a little smaller as I would only have one 'cake' in it rather than four or five?



Bonus: that's bruising, right? Its definitely more blue...

Hello;
I am not an expert, and I am new at this hobby but according to my readings you can cover all sides of the plastic case with black plastic cover for prevent the light. Maybe it helps:rolleyes:

Some of the posts mentioned that it causes by light. Only you need to light from the top.

Yes you can do that if you like.

Getting a substrate to fruit mostly from the top is about creating/maintaining the best microclimate there. I often run min-grows using very similar plastic containers and will get a few side pins but mostly the fruit will grow from the top layer. But I always case, even with cubes.

A casing, while not necessary for cubes, does two things to help me and my style of growing. 1, it allows me to keep the best microclimate by misting appropriately. 2, it helps me grow in open air during several hours a day while I’m home. I don’t use modified FCs, with the exception of my green house, which I dont use much these days.

Here is a few examples of different species using that style of growing:
Cubes:


Cope/pans:


Ps. Hoogshagenii var. convexa Semperviva;


And I’m not grower who uses a SGFC, but from my experience, they will generally do the best when packed with more than 1 cake. So if you go that route, I would advice making a smaller one as well. But perhaps a seasoned SGFC veteran will chime in and correct me if I’m wrong.   

My 2 pennies.
