STARTING OVER! help.

okay. my first flush from my first cake was not a success. the shrooms were extremely small and were all fucked up. and also i now have birthed a 2nd cake and crumbled it and cased it. also, i pulled the shitty first flush off the 1st cake and have my cake submerged in sterilized water and a little bit of h2o2.
i believe my problem is my fruiting chamber. i dont know what to do. so im going to build another one. would it be possible for me to put the cake and the casing in the chamber together ?
and if you have any teks or anything on building a good chamber that you especially liked. please point me towards them, because im looking for anything.

Yeah They can be together.
PMP Here is a cheap and easy chamber to make and it will take care of itself. (the guy who invented it is strange though)

Buds take a little while to get down but shrooms are pretty easy stick with the hobby for a little bit and you'll pass me up no problem.
Just dont make the biggest mistake that people make when it comes to growing shrooms..............Don't overthink this shit it is just to easy.

Try putting your PMP in the bathroom. Turn your shower on hot full blast. And let it sit for about an hr. Your humidity will build up. And also make sure there arent too many places air could escape that could lower humidity. That was the problem i was haveing and duct tape fixed that right up. - But you do need air exchange so air tight is also not good. A small hole towards the top tends to get the job done right.

i have plenty of air exchange. i have 2 small holes towards the top, on the sides, im using a 2 valve aquarium pump, one is hooked to a airstoned and is in a small container of h2o/h2o2, and the other hose is layered underneith my perlite. now if only i could find my damn roll of duct tape so i can make this thing pretty air tight, because that could always be my problem.

Yeah you dont want any other air exchange other than the pump and those 2 holes. Seal everything else off w/ duct tape and you should be fixed.

Im not sure. I dont use it so i wouldent know. I use Hyroton (geolite) its just these little clay/lava rocks. Put a layer at the bottom w/ two air wands underneath with a dual outlet fish pump.

no stores in my area (not just local... i checked the surrounding counties also) and no one carries it. and i cant find any of these little hydra stores people are talking about, so im having to stick with what i got. but i closed the container, and put the cake in. and got my pump hooked up and everything and then i wrapped the container with a heating blanket and cut it on and the temperature in it has seemed to rise, no condensation yet so im not sure if its going to get humid enough in there, but it should.

Sounds like a good place to start just watch your temps. I have a light as, well obviously ligting, but it also doubles as heat for my pod. I had to find the right distance to set my light to get the right temps.
