Think this would work?

OK, Ive got 10 jars started the PF Tek way. There growing nice, been 5 days and all 10 show growth. For my fruiting chamber I'm thinking of using a clear plastic bin, with a drip shield. What do you guys think of that for a growing chamber, it will be clear so the cakes will get enough indirect light, the lid shuts pretty tight and i was thinking about putting a rubber piece around it to make a better seal. I'm gonna do hand spraying to keep the humidity up, and to maintain temperature, i was thinking of using a reptile heating pad, which will keep it between 80 and 85. I'm gonna put damp vermiculite on the bottom on top of the heater, do you think that between spraying and the warm wet verm there will be enough humidity? any comments or suggestions would be helpful, thanks.

1. I would use a solid color plastic bin instead of clear one. Make sure it has a clear top to let the sunlight in so the mushrooms grow upwards. Otherwise they will grow out to the sides.

2. A drip shield isn't really necessary. Just spray the sides on the bin and don't spray the cakes directly.

3. Don't use a heating pad! 80-85 is WAYYY too high to fruit cakes.

4. Don't use verm on the bottom! Use perlite or something similar to keep the humidity up.
