My first setup (pics)
    #5549237 - 04/23/06 09:15 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Been trolling and reading the shroomery now for about a year...gathering as much knowledge as i can before jumping in headfirst on cultivating.

I'm starting to get the supplies for my first setup, going to be going with the poor man pod chamber and some PF cakes. Seemed to be the best place to start.

I've already got two 56qt containers. I'm going to double them up for an incubator, then use one for the fruiting chamber.

Just empty 1/2 pints for now...


I added an extra seal to the lid so i can control the humidity better. Just your everday foam weatherstripping


I would say 12 jars fit ok...



Well that's as far as I've gotten, lol. I just felt like sharing, and i'll also update my progress as it goes (hopefully problem free!)

I've put on order some perm, brown rice flour and perlite from mycosupply.com I've also ordered up a 36" flexible bubble wand for it and a 10" 100 watt submersible heater for the incubator. Will hopefully find a nice airpump this week locally.  :cool:

I wouldn't use a tub like that for incubation. You want complete darkness.

make sure to heed that warning on the sticker. suffocation by being trapped inside your FC is the #1 cause of mycology related death.

yea, I thought about that, but i already had these containers on hand so i decided to use what i had. A little black paint or some trash bags like stated above should do the trick :wink:

I wouldn't use a bubble wand if you are going to use perlite for humitification. You're supposed to use a bubble wand by submerging it underwater and clay pellets or geolite. Perlite HOLDS the moisture by itself. You can still use your airpump for air exchange. That's what I did.

But I think your FC may be a little too big for cakes. I would suggest one or two smaller rubbermaid bins, maybe the 12-15qt sizes. You won't have to use as much perlite, and air exchanges will be quicker.

Have you thought about doing bulk poo for your firt time? It's really fucking easy and kicks ass! and a casing layer is unneccessary if you are intimidated by that...

i'm not using perlite in the FC, i'll be using hydroton. Not sure why i said perlite in the first place, lol.

but do you really think it's too big? it's just a tad larger the the one used in the tek...i don't see why it'd be TOO big as long as the humidity is kept up, and my air pump is large enough to move the air 2-3 times per hour.

Well I took the advice given and darkened up one of the tubs to use for the incubator. I'll just buy a new one that has a clear lid for the FC.

if you sprayed the inside with any petroleum based paint be prepared for major mutations. if the paints on the outside then your good tho.

it's water based..sprayed on the inside. good looking out though.
Does oil based paint have an ill-effect during the colonization of the jars?

A quick trip to the pet store yielded me some new items today. Picked up an air pump, a check valve, some tubing, and a thermometer.





I also grabbed a smaller 50qt tub for the FC. Only one they had with a clear lid

does this look alright to have the wand setup this way? (of course the wand will be UNDER the rocks once i fill it)

it goes down and turns on the other end to run along the end.




also got some verm and brown rice flour finally!



Would it be ok to go ahead and do my jars and sterilize them now even though i won't be innoculating yet? And if so, about how long will they be good for?

the thermometer you bought sucks. i bought the same one and it constantly changes readings on me in seconds. going from 27 to 32 to 30 to 33 and so on. better to get a NON-plastic one, IMO
