Is the spliting from co2 or is that humidty? I wasn't fanning them as much as i should have, only 2-3 times a day. The last 14 hours there was no fanning at all because i was'nt able to. They did need more air but i still got 902g Wet , and thats counting the 20g of aborts, mine . I could always do what mycofile did and cut the bucket a bit lower and drape the plastic over the shrooms so the sides are open a bit allowing for air exhange. But I like moving around my bucket for pics so i think having the walls would help hold them up. I only had 2 tip over. For the next flush ill drill holes at the bottom and top so the heavy co2 falls out the botom hole and slowly sucks in fresh air. I think 4-8 1" holes (2 high 2 low on oposite sides of the bucket) loosely packed with polyfill will do. I'll have to experiment. Also this isnt a real 5 gal bucket i think its only 4 but its the same diameter as a 5. I have a bud light cooler bucket, the ones with the seat on top and a removable foam cooler insert. It's the same diameter but tall i think its 6-7 gal. I would use that next time if i grow in a bucket again and hook up a small computer fan with a 9v powersupply sucking through this medium sized hepa filter i have, then either have it on a 30/30min on/off timer and or give it a 6v powersupply if it dries out the casing too much. I dont think a humidifyer is needed because I only misted once a day, fanned 2-4, and the seran wrap i covered the bucket with was always fogged up. For the last day all i did was hydrate the casing a bit by unscrewing the tip of the mister a bit and spraing past the shrooms onto the casing where i could. I dont think ill dunk it for the second round because this is too much shrooms for me and my crew, or mabey not I lost my digi camera in all the hustle and bustle of the harvest and print taking. I took 8 prints in my flowhood in a small tuperware container that i steralized with alcohol and coverd the caps with these small glass cups, 8 3/4 oz glass cups. I took pics of the printmaking and the pics of the casing before it was picked, i forgot to take pics of the pile but ill take some on the drying racks once i find the digi.

cool, glad to see someone else using 5g buckets, i use them exclusivly now so i don't have to deal with humidity tents, timers, coll mist ect. just fan as much as possible, there perfect, a self contained fruiting chamber can do everything in the same container (spawn, incubated, case, incubate, fruit) and if you get comtams it's limited to one bucket rather then a whole tent, saves a lot of cleaning. only "problem" is when you get a nice flush sometimes the fuckers start pushing the plexiglass off the top but i'm not complaining did you do it like this-
or build a giant chamber or tent? i like the self-contained method for reasons described above, just curious of diffrent ways people do it, i was thinkin of using a clear trash bag for when they come over top like yours did because they get all goofy shaped when you let them grow into the plexiglass and either crack it open and you lose humidity or fall over because of there weight when the get mature

its easier to dunk in something like that then a cake...all you do is put down a heavy brick then add water till its submerged
the substrate is straw/manure mix which was spawned with wbs...which means...he broke up colonized wild bird seed and mixed it in wit the straw/poo combo and it colonized it...the reason you can do this is straw and poo both have natural defence system against contams...but you have to pasteurize or at least should first.....which is submerging the poo/straw in water at around 170 degrees for at least an hour...it kills off the badies but dosen't hurt the good bacteria...then you have approx 2 weeks for it too fully colonize before contamination can set in

Can someone direct me to a faq for this bucket-o-shrooms, or simply the thread it originated from, looks like a very rewarding technique.
