Hybrid SGFC/DubTub How does this look?
    #26922763 - 09/07/20 10:11 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I am working on a little side project, running mixed cubensis spores in PF cakes, fruiting them, then running those spores...

I don't have enough PF cakes to justify using my regular SGFC.  Maybe 3 1/2 pint cakes at a time. So I decided to make a new tiny one out of some shoeboxes.

I used  small screwdriver to melt holes through the top tote every 2", like a normal SGFC.  I then put 2 rows of holes in the bottom box 2" apart. 

I was planning to put a couple inches of perlite in the bottom, but I'm not sure if the bottom sides, and the bottom should have holes instaled in them too?  I don't have any coarse perlite, so I'm not sure how to keep it from falling through the bottom and making a mess.

Any thoughts on this?  I've seen several very small terrariums made of old food containers, and suitable for 1 cake at a time that did not have holes at all.  This one should have ample air, but I'm not sure about humidity. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  I want a kind of bookshelf sized PF cake fruiting chamber.  In fact, I want a few of them, to help with book keeping for my project.
Thanks!

As far as the hole on the bottom box, yeah any SGFC design should have holes on every side.

I'm sure this will work for fruiting, but I think you would have been better off just using a shoebox as a shoebox.

3 cakes spawned into a shoebox with coco coir will give you a much better yield than this.

thanks for the info.  I agree, for yield just spawning to bulk would be the way to go. 

And I am doing that for my actual grow. But this is a little side project, growing out spore syringes made from mixed strains, fruiting, collecting the new spores...  I'm purposedly going with MS to PF jar, vs. my normal plan of going spores to agar then agar to grain.

If I can just get the cakes to fruit, I'll be happy.  It's really a little side project not a main focus

I will do the bottom of the box with holes too, and maybe cover it with screen to keep the perlite in, if it appears to be running out.
