Shroom grow kit in fruiting chamber questions
    #26558665 - 03/26/20 09:13 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)



Hi
So I took my grow kit out of the box and put it on tinfoil in a terrarium with water soaked perlite.

I have a few questions.

Should I mist the cake directly? It's supposed to be 100% mycelium.

There's no holes in my tub. So I'm wondering how often I should air it out and what the best way to do this is?

Drill some 1/4" holes in that tub so it can get some constant free
air exchange. It's ok to mist them gently directly once a day. And
fan them with the lid a couple times a day if it has holes. Search
the forum for shotgun fruiting chamber and you can see the holes
setup I'm talking about.

SGFC

Also, cut your foil to the size of your cake.

You should get a mesh rack to put it on or something.

I'm thinking if it way prøve contraproductive to increase the surface area of substrate in contact with dry air. A piece of foil inbetween the sub and wet coir will do more than the trick. :eatingout:

lol yeah could be. When I need space or get side pins I put some subs on a rack in the hc and like getting shrooms from all over.

I cut a bigger piece of foil in case the side mushrooms grow quite large...
Dont want the mushrooms any where near touching the perlite.

Just put a half inch of water in a tub and place the cakes onto something so they're not in direct contact with the water and that is precisely a Humidity Chamber by definition and design :thumbup:

Anything wet that doesn't contaminate inside an unmodified tub is a HC
