Im using pf cakes and for a FC i was going to use 2 liter coke bottles with perlite on the bottom. I just wanted to know if the coke bottles work good and if they do how much perlite should i put in (or what should the temp be inside the bottle)? Thanks

I'm just speaking from my limited experience...
Coke bottles work OK - one cake per bottle - 2 or 3 inches of perlite - temps can be room temp (70 degrees), but avoid rooms where night temps drop too low at night - they need to be fanned often - misting is required too.
If you have a little more room, I would recommend using a rubbermaid/sterilte tub instead. fill it with 2 or 3 inches of perilte, drill or cut or burn (an old knife on a hot stove will cut the tub like butter) 4 holes at the bottom right above the perilite line and put a little polyfill (craft store/fish store) in them. With the hot knife, cut a square hole in the lid and using gorilla tape and thick plastic (hardware store), cut the plastic to cover the hole plue an extra 1 to 1/2 inch and tape it to the lid (I find it easier to tape from the indise).
You can hold 8 or 10 or more cakes in one container. Still needs fanning and misting, but the fruits should get a little bigger and again, instead of 10 coke tubs sitting around, you'll have one tub with 10 cakes inside.
-------------------- Look at the atoms in the air and allow your mind to see the other planes that coexists in the same physical space where you sit. There are vibrational strings in each and every atom containing infinite realities, universes, and dimensions. Multidimensional beings and entities are RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!! Only gravity and mental energy can pass through these different atomic branes and mushrooms can break the mental/spiritual membranes separating one reality from the other. TAKE A LOOK!

you dont cover the holes in your terrarium with anything, keep them open. the more holes you drill in the fc the better. you want frequent fae's

You can spend $12 in coke to get 12 bottles (1 cake/bottle) or you can spend $12 to get one big ass rubbermaid tub that you could fit 20+ cakes in. Its your call.

yup, analog ones are the best, but its not nessasary if you have 4-5 inches of damp perlite in your fc the humidity should stay in the 90-95% range for the whole growing cycle

yea you should still put holes in it but there is a lot of contreversy going around about putting poly or something similiar in the holes or nothing at all. so you'll have to do some reading about and make that decision on your own.
i got corrected on this earier, if your doing a mono you dont use perlite. and im not sure if mono's are used for cakes or just for caseings does somebody have the answer to that?

Blind leading the blind? Heheh.
Monotub is a casing and FC in one, basically. It has nothing to do with cakes. You're just thinking of, well, a tub.
I don't think you'll get enough air exchange without fanning to justify holes. I've never heard of someone using holes on a standard rubbermaid-style FC--just fan and mist it once or twice a day and you're fine.

Check out the IRC room, you'll get better help there. And be patient! People will reply who know what they're talking about.
Really, looking over the teks will probably help you more than anything any of us can tell you.

A lot of the teks are old and have had improvements made since posted but work none the less. Holes only for FAE work fine. Do some searches for Roger Rabbit and fruiting chambers or holes and you'll see.

That wins understatement of the year! RR and Roadkill and Agar are just a few of the old hands around here that you listen to without question...they know what they are doing and have been doing so for decades.
Go to this post. It has all the answers to all your questions, mainly paragraph three of the very first post in the thread

I agree, another old topic from guys who didn't search or read the teks.
But how do you maintain proper moisture content with open holes?

you either mist to keep Rh up or you set up some sort of automated humidifying system
