straw Q
    #5370872 - 03/06/06 01:22 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

it was a bitch to tuck the straw in tight around the sides with wrap. so i fliped over the container and wraped it up all the way around. i then put it back in th bucket and pocked holes in the top about ever 3/4' of an inch. holes are about -- that long. just wondering cause i wraped the hole thing if i am going to run in to problems with air or if i should take it out and put holes on the bottom and sides too?

and one more thing. was thinking after about 10-14 days i guess after it's spawed could i cut it in hale and case half and ofter half treat like a log (flat long that is lol)?

thanx joker

sory for posting in Advanced but thout i woul get a little more info here

Sounds fine. I have had issues with buckets though. I placed the substrate in the bottom, and covered with perforated foil but it never fully colonized. I won't go into the crappy substrate I was using at that time, but I believe there were issues with gas exchange because the sides of the bucket came up so much higher than the top of the substrate. I didn't bother to drill the polyfil holes, and planned on doing that when I applyed the casing (stupid mistake).

I'm currently doing a bucket grow, and it colonized fine. I added holes with polyfil before spawning and it took off.

So, your wrap with holes sounds cool, just make sure there's a gas vent low enough to let the CO2 drain.
