Z strain multispore

WBS spawned in the bucket to straw/poo/coir mix, cased with peat/verm/coir

a shower cap over the top to maintain humidity
& a fan in the same room as the bucket/s, blowing over the top of the bucket/s.
The fan comes on for 30 mins 6 times a day (on a timer).

They are 10L buckets [about 3 inches of substrate + 1/2 inch casing]
so around about 30-40 cms tall -
but the shower caps are quite loose fitting
so the shrooms have room to push up against the cap
and keep growing if they have to (which they often do).

The holes are big enough to stick middle finger through.

put four holes around the top - and two closer to the substrate level,
use more if there was no fan in the room (or bigger holes).

holes covered with micropore tape

When your substrate is colonising and the casing pinning, you can leave the cap closer to the substrate to increase humidity a bit

When your fruits are maturing you can pull it up to suck in some fresh air and give them room to mature

the shower cap acts like a "lung" where by pulling it up or pushing it down you can suck in or expel air through the micropore covered holes, therefore an easy way to fan your buckets if you feel the need to, and the air is also filtered.

Sweet

I like the show cap, I might use this.

What's micropore tape? Could you just use polyfill like in regular mono/dub tubs?
