Will this Fruiting Chamber Work?
    #6888677 - 05/08/07 10:51 AM (16 years, 10 months ago)

Ok so my new apt. is giving me limited room to work with discretely, so this is the FC I have been stuck with making. I have about 20 jars almost colonized, so I am going to need a decent amount of room. I ended up with a 3 shelf storage shelf that fits to just below the top shelf that runs along the back of my walk in closet. My idea is to set the perilite up on the bottom shelf, with the casings ending up on the others. I am going to enclose the shelf with wall to wall Press and Seal to essentially close off the about a third of the closet. I know I will need holes for FAE, but how many do you think I should put in the press and seal? My real question is, the Press and Seal properly applied will be enough to enclose this FC correct? It is what I used on my last grow for a Tote lid and that was pretty successful. I will get some pics up as soon as I can. Thanks for the input.
Also my shelfs are solid, with no holes in them. Will the humidity from the perilite still works its way throughout the enviroment, with space on the sides of the shelves?

rr says (and i did the same) that you just put two long slits on both sides of the closet and that's enough. problem solved, as long as you have an ultrasonic or something along those lines of course.

I do have an ultrasonic. Could you suggest the way to set it up with this setup. I have read a lot about the humidifier setups, but don't quite understand how to set it up, especially with this closet setup.

Walk in closets are horrible places to grow. Air exchange is tough unless you leave the door open all the time and/or a fan running. In addition, clothing harbors all sorts of molds and bacteria. Your fruiting chamber needs to be out in the open so air can circulate around it.

A buddy of mine has been using a walk in closet for about a year now. However RR is right. If your going to use a closet, reserve it for growing only. No clothes or other things in there that could hold mold/bacteria. My buddy has a very large closet (about the size of a small bedroom) so he has yet to run into air exchange problems. However you will need to air it out often if its a small closet. Opening the door and fanning it out a few times a day should be sufficient.

*edit* I missed part of the question. Press 'N seal will NOT be enough. You want 2 mil clear sheeting. You can get it at Lowe's, Home depot or equivalent. Then you want to seal it together with silicone. Its no easy task getting it to stay together while the silicone sets (~24hrs) I would recommend staples or brads of some sort.

However, I would just buy a greenhouse from a garden store, there like $50 and will some you much time and stress. Plus, its easily disassembled if your maintenance man decides to pay you an unexpected visit.
