Has anyone ever tried this tek?

I've got a bunch of cakes that I don't really know what to do with so I think I am going to just try a bunch of different casing teks and stuff like that I was wondering if I could get some feedback on this one?

link on 4th post, sorry

Has anyone ever tried it? It looks like there's really no air exchange in there and I guess that wouldn't be good.

Well, this is pretty much a standard casing procedure there, so yes, people have and and still use this type of casing.

Good idea, try everything and see what you like.

Apprentice has some good info in a short page there, it's solid advice. I like what he says about cold shocking- don't do it unless you have to.

I really don't understand. Almost everything I read says FAE is one of the most important parts of successful cultivation. This guy just puts some crumbled cakes into a cup, some verm on top of it, and then seals it with a bag. Looks like there isn't any FAE to me here.

Can someone clarify this for me?

Hmm, I actually think I found my answer here. Searched the forums for stuff on this tek and found this post - could anyone tell me if it has any credibility?

come on people, fresh air? this all has to do with osmosis.
it's diffusion of gasses through a selectively permeable membrane (plastic baggie) and say that the percent of oxygen in the baggie is at 2% and oxygen outside the baggie is 20%. it is common sinse that the oxygen outside the baggie will try to balance out and put air in. of coarse you are saying that it is a baggie and air can't go through. but think about a rotton veggitable you put in a baggie, it has some gasous exchange, maybe small amounts but it's still there. this baggie will decrease chances of contams becasue obviously bacteria is much larger then air molucules.

If there is no automated FAE, you need to fan it yourself...
