General topics / fanning my fc
April 15, 2009, 09:53:10 AM
I'm beginning to be a little lazy and I was trying to figure a way to fan my fc without doing it myself 4-6 times a day and without using an aquarium air pump because I use perlite. So I thought about using PC fan it's cheap and it would fit right where I want. The problem is I'm not an electrician and I don't know how to connect it in the wall. I have problem finding tutorial about how to do it on the net. And I want to connect more than one pc fan, 2 for now but 6 in not long. So using a cell phone charger won't be good for this unless I use 6 chargers I think... Have somebody done this before that could help me or have a good tutorial about how to do it? Would be really appreciated.

The myc don't need air to grow in the jar, it need it in the fc after.

1) Yes they stay fresh for a week in the fridge after you've pick them up.

2) I've never heard of drying in a wood box, maybe someone else have we'll wait=P

When dry you can keep shroom 1 years and a half. For myself I trip every 6 weeks or so.

1hour is enough for me, water half of the jars. You keep the cover over. And the water shouldn't be going down too fast. I let them stay 12 hours in the pot before inoculation to be sure they are cold. There shouln't be any bacteria in there because you sterilized them.

1) Yeah your steaming pot should be okay for pf-tek but for grain you'll need a pc.

2)I couldn't find jars too where I live so I bought a bunch of glass, it work fine for the pf-tek. For the lid I make one with aluminium foil.

3)I had problem too finding Brown rice flour but I found it at my health store, it wasn't with the other flour it was in the gluten free section(farine de riz brun entier dans la section sans gluten).

4)I'm a beginner too and I only did the B+ because I read everywhere that it was the best for beginners, I have texan jars in progress too.

5)I first bought perlite at home depot, but after I found out I could have it at walt-mart for half the price. For clay pellet like he said, I didn't read anybody using them alone like the perlite so I don't know.

Good luck with your project!

I'm a low budget so my terrarium is a real terrarium I had for my lizard so it's glass and I don't want to drill holes in it. I just fan it everyday 4-5 time a day to take all the CO2 out. Difference between perlite and Hydroton, perlite is cheaper but it make a little dust, and hydroton can be use alot more longer than perlite. Almost an infinite number of time.

It depends on the cash you have, PW have a 500$ humidifier system , but I don't think you would want to begin with that! I use perlite and it's working great for me, having no problem keeping it at 99%+ but I have a small fruiting chamber, and perlite is cheap to buy if your low budget. Others will help you with there own technique, I'm still a beginner at this too=P

For the amount of light it depends on every person, I use sunlight so it's almost 12hours a day, others just have 4-8 hours. The light is just to tell them to grow and where to grow(to the top) so 4-8hours of light should be enough to make them grow.

Yeah if you want to manage alot of pics you need to register. I use imageshack when I post pics here because I don't really care if someone take it.

Imageshack is easier you don't have to make an account. You just upload the pics on the main page and you take the direct link they give you that's all.
