im gonna do the billion hole FC for my first cultivation! so let me know how yours goes. so far ive read that its pretty much the best way. self FAE'ing, pretty contam resitant (RR has his i think 18" from a blackmold spot)and all the other good stuff youre supposed to get from a fruiting chamber, it does very well!

hope yours goes well, and hope mine does too? what size holes are you gonna drill. i was thinkin like a 3/16th bit.

I'm with figgusfiddus.

Or get a cool mist for $25, providing both great humidification and FAE.



I tried all kinds of rediculous things to get my fruiting chamber to just the perfect RH and temperature. Ultimately a low wattage lightbulb and two cool mist humidifiers did the trick. That combination makes my FC stay 72F and 91% RH. The very day after I converted my fruiting chamber over to just the right fruiting conditions I had pins everywhere.

By the way I see the cool mist humidifers at the Salvation Army store for $5 all the time. I don't know why they have so many but they just always seem to have piles of them. That reminds me I need two more and a lamp since I'm going to build another fruiting chamber.

Are the cool mists quiet? And what model do you reccomend for a 15 gallon fruiting chamber?

Some are some aren't.  I'm suggesting you get what ever model you can buy for five dollars at the Good Will store. 



The one on the left is noisy the one on the right is so quiet.  The one on the left I payed $5 to buy the one on the right $30.  They work equally well.

Actually now that I think about it I suggest you don't get one at all.  If you're just doing cakes I don't see a need for anything other than a clear plastic tub with lots of holes drilled in all 4 sides plus in the top and bottom sides.  Then put 4 or 5 inches of hydrated perlite in the tub.  Perlite doesn't make a peep.  :wink:

If you're worried about fresh air exchange just take the lid off and fan it a couple times a day.

Today i got my fruting supplies, a 56 quart sterilite bin, 2 bags of perlite, and a battery operated 12" flourescent light. The fruiting chamber BARELY fits under my bed so i guess if i drill holes on the bottom they wont be doing any good.

Has anyone used a battery powered light INSIDE their fruting chamber without any problems?

and

After dunking, do you set the cakes in your fruiting chamber right side up(the way they were colonizing inside the jar) or upside down? does it even matter?

4/10 are fully colonized! and the other cakes have maybe 1-2 days left

place them top side down...by top i mean where the lids of the jars were, or where the dry verm that you scraped off was. im not sure if you can do it the other way, this is just what ive seen on all the videos and pics!

Since hyphal knots to primordia to pins takes at least two to three days, those pins formed because of what you were doing before you made the changes.

Air exchange, full colonization, light, and 100% humidity are the major pinning triggers. However one goes about getting there is fine.

I never knew that.  This timing doesn't change regardless of conditions?  For example if the humidity was really low and the casing wasn't well hydrated it wouldn't matter?  The hyphal knot to primordia to pins phases always take the same amount of time?  Not that it doesn't make sense to my scenario.  I wasn't far off ideal conditions I just wasn't right on them either.  Temperature was always the least ideal conditon.  So if I understand correctly not having ideal conditions inhibbits the triggering not the overall speed of the process?  That's a valuable piece of information that I have somehow previously overlooked.

Thanks!
Oh and sorry to jack your thread AbyssWP.  :blush:

That whole fish pump set up you were talking about getting is similar to what i have :tongue2:

I got a 66qt tub with an XP-60 topfin pumping air into two 8 inch air stones inside of it. Over the airstones is some hydroton w/ water and above that - casings! two holes int he top etc, etc. PMP!

Works wonderfully and i think in a bit i will buy some of those T Pipes cause my XP-60 has enough air power to pump enough air into two of these suckers!

WOW yesterday= worst day of my life.. my mom found the bowl of water in my closet while i was taking the cakes out of the jars in the bathroom. after i put the cakes in the water and put plates on top she came back in to ask me what thats for... i lost 4 cakes now and she almost called the cops on me if I didnt tell her where i got it from.. KIDS:DO NOT GROW IN YOUR PARENTS HOUSE UNTIL YOU MOVE OUT TRUST ME YOU WILL REGRET IT! /
