how i made my PMP...
    #7448567 - 09/24/07 06:06 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

so after first trying RR's shotgun terranium. i wanted more. in the middle of my grow i switched to the PMP using perlite, and geolite. i was kinda like wetsand consistancy...

here she is








she worked well. produced some good lookin fruits







but the humidity was only about 92% most of the time.  even with hardly any water. so ohwell, it worked. but i wanted better this grow.


so i bought some lava rocks, and different bubble wands. longer, skinnier ones.  and made this
























hell yah!! 100% humidity. held now for 3 days. i cant wait till my cakes are colonized.


just knocked up a day ago w/ creeper Multispore LC i made as an expierament gone right.  so i used them. today, there are already dime sized myc growth. i cant wait!! :mushroom2::mushroom2:


i recommend it to anyone who wants a good sized grow chamber. not green houses yet!



thats next tho  :laugh:

I went to WalMart while ago to get supplies for my PMP. They didn't have bubble wands, just 14" bubble stones. Will those work ok? I got a little air pump with two ports on it so I didn't have to buy two different air pumps. Or, do you normally only use one air pump? The other air pumps only had the one port, and I was trying to figure out how you would hook up two bubble wands/stones to the pump...Thanks for any feedback you can give me!

i have a pump for up to 60 gallon tanks, it has 2 outputs. and my wal-mart carries the bubble stones and the wands. the wands i feel work better, more low profile.

What was the name of the pump and what did it cost you with all the tubes and wands?

So I dont have to sterilize it until the first grow is over? What amount of H202 should I add into the water at the bottom that I keep hearing about?

i didnt add any H202. last time i did that i got bruising. only use H202 if you get cobweb.  i boiled all my rocks for 10 minutes. figured that was good enough.  so far no problems.  :smile:

Alright so how much did that total pump set up cost you and what was the numbers or power that the pump was? Also, did you drill holes in the terrarium?

i went with a ~10% h202 spike. in reality all i did was let the bottle glug glug a couple times into the lavarock/water/air rock

you can see in the pics i made holes, and filled w/ polyfil. they are only at the top. none in the sides


the air pump is for a 30-60 gallon tank. had 2 outlets, i use both and a flow restrictor to allow however much air i want in there. 2 16" (i think..not sure) bubble wands. total cost was like 30$ no big deal man. why are you even concerned with that?


lemme know if you need any other help. so far ive got pins like crazy on 15 cakes. it provides alot of FAE, great trigger for many pins

Its not an issue I'm just planning my first grow and pricing everything out to see what is going to work best and most efficient. So how many inches of lava rock are at the bottom and how much did you fill with water? Would it be better to only have holes on the top since there is a pump used? Sorry about the questions I am just on my first grow and this set up seems it will work easiest for me. I want it to work out thats all.

If cost is an issue for a first grow, just use a bunch of moist perlite in the bottom of your chamber, and a few filtered holes near the top for airflow. That, with occassional misting, worked great for me, even though the ambient humidity averaged 25%-35% at the time. I even tried using an ultrasonic humidifier at first, but it kept the humidity at a solid 100% all the time. Plenty of perlite for a grow costs less than $4.

Shrm22, better to ask questions now. Keep it as simple as possible the first. Try it, and keep asking questions, then adapt as necessary. Air pumps and associated equipment are nice, but unnecessary for most folks. Rubbermaid/Sterlite/whatever plastic tubs, plus perlite and maybe some polyester poly fil may be all you need for a decent fruiting chamber.
