For my first grow ever (pf tek) I'm using this hybrid monotub build.  Using micropore tape instead of polyfill.

Wondered if I could get your guys opinion about the conditions?  I birthed 2 days ago, waited 24 hours to mist the first time.  Now missing between 3-5 times a day, trying to make my cakes “glisten”.

But I’ll be honest I don’t quite know what I’m looking for.  I get the theory but lack the experience!

Also I know my cakes look weird...made some mistakes which resulted in less than ideal colonization (see aforementioned comment about lack of experience).

Wow I guess some things have changed since I took several years out but I don't remember sg havi g issues drying out if they were built properly are maintained as...

Since they should be misted daily it's quite easy tm bruise cakes from misting.

Coincedentaly I've had cakes dry out with no bruisning

It doesn't really have issues. Its just high maintenance. I'd rather only have to mist once a day versus 3-4 times depending on climate/weather.

As a first time grower, I followed elasticaltiger’s signature link to this page. I think I am understanding the just of it, but get a bit lost on the polyfil and the special tape everyone is talking about. I don’t remember reading about that in the SGFC tek I read.

Is there a beginner’s tek explaining this hybrid fruiting chamber  for us newbies?

the big holes above the perlite are replacing the sgfcs swiss cheese holes. you just need to restrict the air in and out, just like a monotub.

What is point of drilling the holes if you’re just going to plug them back up? Or is there a certain time to plug and certain time to leave open?

So you can adjust airflow according to your needs. In Summer when it's more humid (in most places) you can leave your Poly a little looser for more FAE and not lose humidity. In Winter when it's drier you can stuff them a little tighter.

Ah makes much more sense now.  Is it just the large holes that get plugged? Are the smaller holes for the air coming in?  Or do you have to plug the tiny holes as well?

the very top two holes get plugged with less poly/MP tape and the other 4 are where you plug em tighter. the small holes are left open and will allow the air to come in through the bottom passing the wet perlite providing humidity into the chamber.

Hey Ziran and to all. I'm a first time grower and just read this thread. I inoculated my first BRF cakes yesterday. Intrigued by this hybrid fruiting chamber posted here. I was going to try TNT style with aquarium tube water heater, because I live in Northern CA and my house is a little cool this time of year (between 60-65F) I will need to raise FC temp. I am unsure about hole size and placement on a TNT. Holes would need to be above water line I get it. But how many and size not so sure about. Would this Hybrid FC work with a tube heater buried in the perlite. Seems like it might need close monitoring so perlite does dry out from tube heater. Any advice is much appreciated.

heat the room your FC is in not the FC itself. and just build one like in the tek for best results.

Thanks Ziran. I'll give it a try. Guess I need to get a space heater.

Cool tek.

I made a similar SGFC by drilling 1/4" holes on all sides except the top (lid). Its been working pretty great in my opinion. It was inspired by the monotubs. Great stuff guys :popcorn:

can you put perlite under the mix? instead of puting the monotub on top of the perlite.
