Grow Log - And So It Begins!
hi bloke! long time no see.
i was looking at a bunch of bon maman jars i've been holding on to for years and decided to finally actually use them for what i've been saving them for. looking at fruiting chamber discussions on other sites i see the importance of air exchange being stressed. how often did you take the lid off? your mushrooms all look very healthy, so the proof is clearly in the pudding, but from what i'm reading it shouldn't be working so well! solid walls without forced ventilation, and standing water as a 'breeding ground for contaminants' = a very sub-optimal environment, they all seem to say. i'd much rather use your method of water in the bottom and not have to mess around with drilling and perlite misting with the shotgun style fruiting chamber, but the 80 litre tubs i've ordered from amazon come in a 3 set so i may try both styles using identical tubs to see how big the difference is.
