Grow kit - remove cake from tub and grow inside pastic storage box...

Where I live the grow-kit is my only option, ufff. Am sure my question has been asked but unable to find the answer. Want to ask about grow-kits that come with the plastic bag. My thought is to remove the cake from the supplied plastic tub and grow it in a sterilized food-grade plastic storage box. I imagine - misting and airing as if it were in the plastic bag. the shrooms would grow on top and around the four sides of the cake. harvest would be easy without the plastic tub. minimal handling of the cake to retrieve the shrooms growing down the sides. Anybody have experience or advice with doing this? Thanks for reading, peace!

Do you have this kit or are you pondering purchasing it? What comes with the grow kit and what are the instructions? Is it already inoculated? There’s a supplied bag and plastic tub but you want to grow in a plastic box? What’s the difference between the tub and a box? You can’t sterilize a plastic box. Posting pictures helps a lot. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=255&Number=27127917&fpart=&PHPSESSID=

Hello Toa, Haven't any prototype to show you...yes, am pondering purchasing. Yep, there's a supplied bag and plastic tub ready to go. The grow-kit is pretty typical, this one and recent ones do no need soaking.
The difference between the tub and the box is I would remove the cake from the tub and put it inside a plastic box. Wondering if this would create the same environment that the plastic bag provides. Without the tub the shrooms would grow freely around all sides of the cake.
I had planned on using a food grade plastic storage box that comes with a resealable lid. And imagined if I sterilize the box and still fanned and misted the cake it would be much the same as in the the plastic bag but without the tub. You wrote that a plastic box can't be sterilized, bam! that's what I was suspecting but I wasn't sure...thank you.

The difference between the tub and the box is the box is bigger? You want to fruit the bag contents like an oversized 1/2 pint BRF cake? You can look up water tub teks but lots of members successfully fruit in bags. You don’t have any options other that a grow kit? There’s some pretty basic teks on this site.

Yep, box is bigger to house an oversized BRF. Fruiting in the bag works successfully but even tho I put foil around the tub I always find many growing from the sides. I would like to harvest them inside the bigger box without messing with the cake. I buy the growkit tubs from a headshop in a village near where I live. convenient. I live in the countryside with no postbox or obvious address...can't receive post or couriers. I will defo check out the basic teks and see if there's something for me, thank you.

Restricting light doesn’t prevent side or bottom pins. The mycelium fruits where conditions are optimal. You buy from a headshop in a village? Sounds nice.
