Sneaky Growing Minds Needed

Alright I finally got pics of the footlocker that I plan to Fruit in..I was just gonna do cakes in here in cake takers as a terrarium, but decided I will be spawning to coir/verm/coffee tray and then fruiting it in this trunk...
My question to ya'll is how do you think I can keep RH up in here?
I could put perlite in there..set the tray in there and leave it closed, then open the trunk and fan periodically for FAE.
The trunk itself isn't like AIR tight because it has a small crease where it opens that I believe when closed even will let a small amount of moisture escape..
I could like weather tape it or something...I dunno Here are pics of the trubk open, trunk with my size 10 1/2 shoe in and trunk closed with lock on it.
Gimme some ideas from your creative minds!
All is aooreciated

the trunk is probably some kind of particleboard or something.. that's not easy to keep sterile and i think it could run the risk of increasing the susceptibility to contaminants..
that would work alright as an incubator if you could rig a heatbomb in there or something, but as a fruiting chamber you should try to find something else.
my friend thought of this same idea as i have a footlocker which is pretty large. he decided to go with just a regular plastic tub in his closet.
i am assuming that you are trying to be stealthy by using the footlocker so you cant just have some plastic tub sitting around.
either try to find a plastic tub that fits within the footlocker or do a coke bottle (2 liter) mini terrarium for each cake or something like that..
it doesn't look like you really have enough room there..

Ah, yo uare wise because yes it must be concealed in thsi trunk..however I am not doing cakes, cakes I can do i nthere, I want to crumble the cakes and spawn them to coir/coffee and then case them i na tray and put THAT in the fottlocker..
I could put the tray in there and fill cups or tupperware with perlite to release moisture to up the RH?
Or...like you said I can make a small tray and put it in a terrarium that will fit inside the trunk. Hmmmm

Unless that trunk is made of metal, and I highly doubt that it is, the trunk itself will absorb a lot of moisture during fruiting which would create a hotbed for contaminants. This would be especially bad if you have to open it constantly for FAE.

Ya I pretty much decided to do a mono tub instead..Fuck the sneakiness I'm just doing a mono tub..
I know there are guuides for double tubs but are there any specifically for monos? I already read Wronguys double tu btek and I got a basic jyst but I'm looking to be as specific as I can.
I'll be spawning BRF Cakes to a coir/coffee/verm mix and then I'll be casing with a 50/50 mix.

so this is why you are paranoid about not getting your spores.
You think your folks intercepted them?

Don't live with my folks.
Wasn't paranoid, just wanted to know where they were.
And I just wanted to try and keep things extra safe and under wraps.
Nothing wrong about taking extra precautions.

Extra precautions are never bad. Remember what Jimmy told young Henry in Goodfellas: never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.
Let's just hope your roommate has seen Goodfellas...

Lol neither of us have but we've been best friends since kindergarten..
It's now a good 15 years later and we live together as well as conive together.
I rather just like the idea of a locked trunk rather then an unlocked trunk.
It just makes me feel more comfortable but I guess I'm gonna go with the monotub setup anyway. We should be fine.

You might be able to put some type of sealer in there... Or paint the whole case black with outdoor water resistant spray paint. Then the water will just sit on top of the paint instead of into the wood.
I rule.

search for layyouin's sp? super stealth toolbox. that can kinda give you an idea of the right direction to go stealth. plastic is your best bet. if you don't mind spending money you can buy one of those latching plastic totes that you can lock. the alternative is buying a doornob that locks. they're cheap and will give you the same effect except the locked box with be significantly larger and will can also be used as a room.

Get a monotub that is NOT clear and then get a light (LED or florescent) which creates VERY little heat then put that on the inside of the lid of the monotub. Then you can either drill some holes and put in polyfil or fan manually, that should be pretty stealth.

Get some thick black (or clear) construction grade plastic and some spray adhesive and line the insides tight and securely complete.

This is the most complete monotub tek I've read so far. I'm just a stupid newbie though, so there may be better ones.
