I have a couple other containers that were nearly half empty/full. So I just spread it out in catagories.

I don't think it's an exact science honestly.  Just do what you think is a reasonable amount.  Not too many and not too few.  Since they're a bit bigger, space them out more and do fewer of them.  I can tell you right now that a year or even a few months from now, if you decide to continue this hobby, you won't be using this tub, so just give it a shot and see what happens.  If it doesn't work as well as it could have, then try different way with a different tub.  The only way to find what's best for your situation is to give it a shot.  It's all about experimentation.

Oh yea, and I suppose I should mention, I have a small bucket that is about 8-10 inches across by 12 inches high that I'm using right now and I only punched some nail sized holes in the very bottom of the chamber and I have a lid with some holes around the perimeter.  It's working out great, I'm getting lots of fat pins.  I fan and mist several times a day.  So there's no set way to do it.  Try something different and see what happens.

Sounds good. I'll get started tomorrow.

I tried cutting a hole in one of the other tubs and it just ripped it apart. I don't know how that happened, maybe I should just be more careful.

agreed, the holes are probably not going to make or break this grow for you. Cut some holes (probably less than the 70 you mentioned) and if you get squared away on the other teks you'll be using then you'll probably get reasonable results.

i'd get an oil lamp or a candle and heat tip of the knife up before you cut the holes.  a drill obviously works too

Using a drill prevents cracking, but not everyone has a drill.  I hold a nail in a lighter for about 30 seconds and push the nail through the plastic.

Not 1/2 inch holes, 1/4 inch holes.  If you making a Shotgun the idea is for the perlite to put enough moisture in the air that it changes the temperature and cause air exchange out of the tank.  Since a 1/2 holes has <b>FOUR</b> it will not hold enough "pressure" to have the air flow out and the likely hood of contams falling into your unfiltered terrarium higher.  1/4 inch holes.  Follow the tek.

Contams don't matter once the cake is colonized....for the most part.

I've never heard that about perlite, I thought it just existed to keep the humidity up.  I think you're mistaken and are thinking too much into it.  Air is constantly moving whether we can feel it or not, so I think no matter what size the holes are, they will work.  Plus the mushroom is taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, so that adds to the air currents as well.

The only issue I would worry about with holes that size is retaining the humidity.  Smaller holes couldn't hurt, but it couldn't hurt to try larger ones I think.

Yeah that's the thing too, the one I tried before I was drilling it with a 1/2" bit. I have loads of experience in that feild anyways.

I'm gunna go with the 1/4" now, as I'm sure the bit won't tear apart the plastic.

Thanks for all the help fellows, I'll be sure to let you know how everything goes when I'm done!

And I'm probbaly not done with the questions.

Sorry for doubting you, I found RR's description of this process:

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6880451#Post6880451

Very interesting things to consider.  I'm probably gonna add some holes under my perlite after this flush to make use of this effect.

Nah I've said nothing about lighting. To be honest, I don't know what sort of lighting is required.

Any ideas?

I read that the chamber should have light 12 hours of the day.

Is this accurate?

Good god is that a 1/2 pint cake?


And lighting isn't like growing weed the amount of light won't play a big part on how you flush grows.  Look at eatyualive's journal he shows how the tubs can be set up so when they are fruiting, they have to reach for the light

In that case, they will be reaching sideways, which is a good thing in my case because of the low ceiling.

Now I just need Verm to make the cakes and roll them, Brown rice powder to make the cakes, and perlite to layer the bottom of my chamber.

Do you pour an inch of water in the chamber, THEN add the perlite?
