Will this small shotgun fc work? I have pictures
    #26853875 - 07/30/20 03:34 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I just made this sgfc it has about 3 3/4 inches of damp perlite, 1/4 holes in a 2 inch grid all across the bottle. I’m also trying to figure out if I should leave cap on or take it off there is a space in between the wood blocks where I have 3 holes in the bottom of the bottle for fae. Literally just took the 1/2 pint cake out of the water it had been in for almost 24 hours rolled in in verm and placed it in the chamber

I would imagine it will fruit. But it looks like you have a big gap between the two pieces, definitely seal that if you drilled holes on all 6 sides of the container.

The cap is small, probably won't matter too much. But I would leave it on and drill a 1/4" hole in the center of it.

I fruited 1 cake in this thing and it worked out just fine. I got a healthy flush that was on the smaller side.




For future reference, when you are trying to fruit just 1 cake, you're probably best off spawning it to some coco coir and putting it into a mini shoebox of some sort. It's probably too late to do it with that cake if you've already consolidated and put into fruiting conditions.



Check out this thread. Shows an example of a mini shoebox from 1 cake.

How much of a yield can be expected from something like this? Will I still be able to get multiple flushes?

Not much at all. It will likely work, but you'll get a small flush. I think I got like 20 grams wet. Not horrible, but definitely small. I was surprised that they even turned out to be healthy fruits.

You can probably get multiple flushes. I think you'll be more prone to contams compared to a full sized SGFC, so just keep it in the cleanest area you have.

Pick up that bass and play it some music daily

Also, make sure you're not slacking on misting & fanning, since that FC itself will definitely not keep you at a good relative humidity.

You could have some shaolin monks pray over it... :shrug:


Other than that... just keep it from drying out. For a single cake you can go as simple as a dinner plate and a plastic grocery bag for your terrarium. just keep a spray bottle with water handy.

Should I still wait 12 hours to most it for the first time?

if you just soaked it for 24hr then i doubt its gonna lose a ton of water really quick. I never did cakes. I started with monos. I didn't see the point of cakes. But, growing mushies is growing mushies... best advice i can give you right now is...

1) keep an eye on it and mist it when it's looking dry.

2) you can love it to death.

3) experience is the best teacher. failures are gonna happen. dont be scared to try.
