Fruiting Chamber Questions
    #5503942 - 04/11/06 02:59 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I was wondering if this setup would be ok, a 60 quart rubbermaid box with perlite on the bottom with 8 cakes rolled in verm. I was just wondering, can I lay the cakes right on the perlite or do I need some sort of barrier? Will this setup be able to maintain the right humidity and do I really need to buy a hydrometer or can I get by with winging it? Also, I don't have a drill to make holes in my rubbermaid box to fill with polyfil. How essential is that to maintain good airflow. Also, what happens if the box isn't aired out during a 24 hour period, how bad is that for the shrooms? Sorry for all the questions!

You should probably have some sort of barrier between your cakes and perlite. but the other stuff IDK

I use wax paper as a barrier foild reflects too much light and causes pinning under the cake, you dont need a hygrometer I didnt use one for a long time, the pearlite will maintain the humidity.

First off i would recomend you lay the cakes on the lid from the (i assume 1/2 pint) jar. No polly fill holes are nessary for he tel your trying. Your best bet is to use a fish pump setup for humidity

Thanks, the wax paper won't block the humidity from reaching the cakes?

Also, instead of a drip shield, what should I do to fight excess water drops?

Oh, thanks, I'll use the lid, does that remove the need for a barrier? Sorry if these questions come off as retarded.

I would do the fish tank pump, but I do not have a drill to make the holes in the side.
