need some feed back on my new fc
    #5422813 - 03/20/06 07:07 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

hello all. i finally got a digital camera. (not too great but it will do).
i have made me a new fc kinda like the double tub i saw on the site not to long ago.

please take a look and give me some feed back.

i hooked a coolmist to the top of the chamber and mounted a thermometer/ hygrometer on the upper top left.
(its the black thing)

i have to wait for the silicone to finish drying.  then i'll give it a dry run to get an idea of temp and humidity control issues that may need work.
but i was happy to get it done while the forum was down.

any commenta are always appreciated.
thanks
lost :cool:

i went to dollar general and bought two sterilite containers.
one about twice as tall as the other. they came with a blue lid that clamps on the sides.

i took the clamps off of the lids and inverted the tall one, drilled the hole and stuffed with polly fill.
the small one i took and covered in electrical tape to block the lite.
its about 5 or 6 inches tall.
perfect to set a substrate in and let it colonize. then when ready i can just slap the top on it, clamp it down and turn on the cool mist , lite, and heat till ready to harvest.

the thermometer/hydrometer was bought at a local hardware store.
i just glued it to the top so i dont have to worry about contams when i check the temp/humidity levels.

just one thought, why do you need heat for fruiting? Fruiting temps are in the low 70's thats the temp I keep my house at....

just remember you only need a couple degrees of warmth then, I prefer my fruiting trays to be at 71 degrees.

im confused by this. the double tub is made to control the humidity on its own.

and i didnt want to open it for fanning and misting.

gas exchange is what the polyfill holes are for. the doubletub is a completely automated setup without whatever you did to it. not sure if there is any advantage to that..

you gotta tell me where u got that bin though. thats freaken awesome. opaque bottom and a clear top. You can cover up and incubate the bottom half. then when its time to fruit it you just snap the top on. I want one! better than balancing and taping 2 retarded bins on top of each other.

ha, nevermind :P ima have to go look for some of those. might even be a good idea to make the bottom holes at the very top of the bottom container for the spawn run, since you still need some gas exchange.
