I hear you about holes, Baph. But fanning kind of makes me nervous, too. I'm thinking about using an aquarium air pump with a filter and running it for an hour a day on a timer. They move about 1.3 L/min. Just need 2 holes: inlet for the hose, and outlet hole with a cigarette filter stuck in it.

Lots of 'gas exchange' in this thread.^_^

Just conjecture, but perhaps the blanket was keeping in heat in addition to keeping out light. I think temperature is probably just as important as light for fruiting, am I wrong?

Thanks for the warm welcome and encouragement. I am enjoying this site and especially this forum. There is a tremendous amount of know-how here. My thanks to all who have posted useful information.

I've tried out the pressure cooker, works fine, but actually has no guage at all! I am going to be more concerned with duration than pressure. FWIHR, more than 60 minutes is gratuitous.

This is just the kind of challenge I enjoy! So, today I bought my first couple of pieces of equipment:
1) A Presto 6-quart pressure cooker
2) A Sterilite 65-quart latch box for a fruiting chamber
I already have some vermiculite and perlite, but I'm going to need some more!
