New Fruiting Chamber! :O
    #9858671 - 02/24/09 07:54 PM (15 years, 10 months ago)

So today I was looking around the house for a nicely sized container that would be ideal for a fruiting chamber.

I found an old Sterilite tub that I kept some Lego in.
The tub is pretty oldschool, and its about 7" tall, 9" wide, and a bit over a foot long.

I evenly mapped out 70 hole areas evenly throughout the siding of the box, and Im thinking of making the holes 1/2" in diameter.

The reason for the size of the holes is because the top will not be able to ventelate, and therfore I will not bother putting holes in it.

How does this sound?

Theres about an inch of room on the bottem left for Perlite where holes havent been mapped out. If there needs to be more, I can just change the mapping.

Thanks!

It doesn't need holes in the lid to work.  Should work out fine, as long as you fan daily.

Ahahah! Well it's just the area the chamber's going to be located. It doesn't allow airflow in through the top anyhow.

I think if I made some sort of drip-guide that allows the build up of water to flow down to the sides of the container, water won't be a problem.

I'm no expert but I doubt 7" is going to give you the kind of headspace you need, a half pint jar is like 3.5", if you're humidifying with perlite you might be a little cramped in there.

I'm curious, is 7inches tall a tad small for a fc. perlite/sub/fruitbodies?

I have a small fan that I can place a fair distance away or close to the chamber. It can be run all day, as it uses less energy than a high-efficiency light bulb when run on low.

It'll work, the mushies will hit the roof and then grow out.  No major problem though.  Unless you get a pin on the top of the cake, which in my experience is less common.  But if it does happen...well, then it could be an issue.

Is that too many holes? And should I cover them with something?

70 half inch holes on such a little thing sounds like a lot. you might as well just crumble the cakes into the little bin and case it. use it as a tray it'll work good, it would be better if it was taller though. Better air flow and more room.

Ahh yes I was thinking the same thing. The top isn't ventelated however, which compromises a bit.

No?

see if you can find 2 of them. that is the perfect pair for a mini double tub. height is important for fae if its too short then there wont be enough space for sub level holes and top level,to be properly spaced. you can still do it with the one lil tub but then you'd want to fan a lot at least 5 times a day. too many holes to compensate for fae, will compromise the humidity.

Sorry, I can only work with one. I'm thinkin' the headspace will do fine for now. I really haven't much room to work with as far as where the chamber is located. I've got a nice spot picked out though.

I'm still unsure on how many holes I should put in if the holes will be 1/2" and the top won't be ventelated.

Does the area the box is located need to be a preferred temurature? Or does it not matter?

Yea man, you should have the logistics completely worked out already, or at least the overall idea worked out.  Before your proceed, read read read. 

The box needs to be around room temperature, which is usually in the mid 70's, but it will do mildly ok in the high 60's, and excellent in the 80's, since cubensis is a tropical mushroom.

Wow thanks. But I'm still totally unsure about the holes!

Can someone please clarify this for me? I need to know before I start cutting the holes.
