Ok so quick idea wanna see what u guys (girls:) think... ive seen some people mod'in upright freezers for fruiting as opposed to say a martha.. money is kinda tight and i dont want to waste the time and energy on hooking up a coolmist if it might be loud as hell (ive dealt w/ that shit b/f) anyway i was thinking about throwing in a container full of hydroton then doin that shit pmp style with holes and polyfill in the top for ventilation. Any ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated love

I am not lost.. i am going there looking for it.. and when i get there and find it, i will know what it is.. "The way to stop violence is not to go out and let your head be beaten in but to say, you want to take my life risk yours!" "are you sure u want to eat all them shrooms??" "yes i want to hear what my mind has to say..." remember opions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

goto a junk yard or drive around and see if anyone has one on the side of the road. just clean it out well and you should have no problems. good luck!!!

or you can visit repair places, a lot of times they have dead freezers and fridges that they'll get rid of for free.

I dunno about the fridge setup, agar's the man when it comes to that. He's done a few threads regarding autmated freezer/fridges.

  Clone coolmist piped in with 3/4 inch pvc pipe
 Or, piped in with ribbed no-kink tubing hose (pool filter kind)
 ultrasonic hummer inside (digital timer 5 minutes on every hour)
And/or combo of wicking type & ultra hummer
 Wicking type has a strong fan, that spreads mist well.
Enlarge bottom drain to garden hose size & run to drain pan under unit.
 I use very low watt lemon sized exterior Xmas bulbs for lighting. 12/12 off/on in the fruiting cycle.
 If you want tall straight fruits, you need decent overhead light.
When fruits are about 1/3 mature, bump up Rh to 95. That gives fruits the ability to really grow tall.
