Fruiting Chamber question...
    #7878508 - 01/14/08 02:06 PM (16 years, 18 days ago)

Sorry that im bugging you guys.... Im just trying to get ready for my first grow and I want my first to be succesful. That being said I bought this tub from my wife's work and was wondering if this would be ok to use as the Fruiting Chamber. Im asking before i start to drill my holes. I know that there will be holes in it but I thought maybe you had to have one with a lid that close air tight. This one has 2 flaps that fold into each other. Im sorry I know its a dumb question, but wanted to ask. Again thank you guys for always being there for me... Here are the pics below.

I think that should work fine, but my personal preference is that the box be opaque and the lid be transparent, so that light is entering from above (via artificial light source) and the fruits grow upward, towards the light. I found a perfect one at Staples.

That is enough light.

What I have done in the past, which worked very well, was to take an LED flashlight and place it on top of my FC (being that the top of my FC is transparent). I used 6 hours light and 18 hours of pitch darkness. Some people use a 12/12 cycle of light and dark; but remember, mushrooms don't need light to grow, but light signals the fruits to begin growth. I have heard of fruit bodies in a cave growing towards the direction where cavers have briefly passed-by, their flashlights triggering the growth.
