What kind of camera do you have?




The camera is a Canon XTi (400d). I use it for astrophotography so this is just the stock lens. I'm not a photographer, but I like to stop it down by 1/3 or 2/3. I find it keeps the highlights from getting over exposed. You can always pull more info from the darkness in PhotoShop. Adding a little saturation doesn't hurt either. Makes the light really blue and the caps really golden.

The FC is just a tub from Ikea. Similar to shotgun style, I have holes on 5 sides (except top, due to climbing cat), and they're only about 1/8" or so. I also have a small 4" fan blowing from outside the tub, through it, long ways. It keeps the mildew down and helps evaporation to keep that RH up. Light and Fan on 12/12. I hand mist every morning and night just to show I care :wink:


One thing to note for anyone interested (mostly noobs like me):

I had originally placed the cakes on foil, just like some here suggest. About a week after birth, I noticed grey myc on the cakes (cobweb) and I took appropriate action. As I lifted and treated each cake, I noticed that the cobweb was mostly rampant on the bottom of the cakes and since I read here that cobweb is mildew, and mildew sets in where stagnant air lies, I decided to lift the cakes.

You can see my screen platform in the first photo. The cakes are held 1-1.5" off the surface, and it's completely rid me of cobweb (thus far). The only problem is that a couple of fruits made their way under the screen (first picture, far left cake) due to the light reflecting off the perlite. DOH!

Oh well, better mushies than mildew!

They just had their second birthday this morning so we'll see what flush #2 brings me. Looks like just about 12g dry so far.
