Fruiting Chamber Question
    #7785991 - 12/21/07 03:30 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I've read that you need to put holes in the fruiting chamber to allow CO2 to escape. I have an air pump do I still need the holes?

Yes. Where else will the CO2 have to go?

CO2 is heavier than O2, therefore it tends to collect along the surface of the substrate/casing material. The holes need to be somewhat close to the substrate so carbon dioxide can be expelled efficiently.

I'm not sure what a poor man's pod is. I will post a picture of my setup later.

Wont the holes let mold and bacteria back into the FC? Should I put a HEPA filter over the holes. What is the Diameter of the holes? and are near the top of the FC or bottom?

Theres no need to be sterile with you fruiting chamber. Fully colinised subsrate is quite resistant to contamination. Just be clean.

As long as you are giving regular FAE then contamination shouldnt be a problem. Contams like still stale air (particularly cobweb)


RR explains better why.
