I had been considering setting up my own small lab to grow and do experiments for ... reasons. I think that this is a great way to get started and should greatly simplify the process.


I don't think it makes sense to spend $300 on a tiny tub given how easy it is to do this stuff with jars or Ikea tubs. You'll probably want a lot of tubs anyway.


Back when we did it we had a fruiting tent that was maybe 20 times the volume of that thing. Of course the project took up a whole room in the house.


Plastic storage tubs from IKEA or similar works out cheaper, and higher volume.

Its pretty hard to fuck up as well.


Perhaps, but then I will also need instruments to measure humidity, airflow, temperature and so on and a means of controlling parameters.


You've just demystified a large potential demand source for this thing to me.


Pleasure to help.

With this device, all one needs is some grains (I have an uncle who has a relevant subreddit), and spores, which are legally obtainable!
