 BRF Cakes ... Time for my FC 
#16733891 - 08/20/12 09:56 PM (8 months, 22 days ago) |

Here are my 8 jars fully colonized and ready to go! I will be birthing tonight and dunking overnight! But tonight...i must build my FC. I have a SGFC built, with the necessary Perlite. Here are my questions:
I have a Cool Mist. Should I use it?
I will be placing the SGFC in the top of my closet. I was thinking of placing the cool mist on one side the SGFC on the other with a fan blowing FA from the window to the closet! Is this a good idea?
Will window light be sufficient?
Check my pics!

Holes are in all six sides. Where should I place fan? Inside on top by the SGFC or down below stirring up air?

NO FAN
This tub?
Doesn't look like there's holes in the bottom. Sure doesn't look like there's one every two inches.

I've seen less holes work just fine.
Just be sure to put holes in the bottom dude.
And if you are as lazy with punching holes in the bottom as you were with punching holes in the sides then mix some peroxide in the water you use to soak your perlite...NOT THE WATER YOU USE TO MIST YOUR CAKES ( just so theres no confusion)
--------------------
Anything I say should not be taken as truth, I make up stories and just joke around and stuff.

The SGFC works on natural air convection. Air will rise through the perlite gaining moisture as it rises. The holes in the side brings in fresh air as the moist air rises from the perlite before exiting the chamber through the holes in the top of the chamber.
Any air flow in the room will disturb the natural convection of air rising up through the perlite. There by reducing the amount of humidity entering the chamber

How about helping this cat by NOT suggesting things that "could work", or "have worked" for someone's cousin? Why not suggest the path of most success and least resistance?
Roger Rabbit PROVES that a correctly made SGFC WORKS. A million successful grows by know-nothing noobs like me PROVE it works. Why introduce doubt and conflicting information for someone trying to get started?
I'm not trying to hassle you man, but that suggestion doesn't help the OP on the path he's going down. Do you have more experience than RR? Can you cite, quite literally, thousands of successful grows with that hole config on a SGFC (which is what he's shooting for)? If you do or can, then please forgive my ignorant questioning.

I don't know.
