Help! I need to dial-in my Martha (pic)

#6492967 - 01/24/07 02:40 PM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Hey guys I am a second time grower using BRF cakes and a Martha setup. My Martha has been a little problematic. The Martha I chose was made out of a breathable material, not plastic, and not getting even close to the proper RH; so I wrapped the whole thing in a plastic sheet. This worked. I read that the cool mist air exchange should be on 24/7. The problem was that doing this did not raise the RH enough. Through trial and error I found that the Ultrasonic needed to be on 24/7, but going through a diffuser to reduce RH a bit and lessen condensation droplets. The Cool mist goes on for an hour twice every 24 hours. With this setup I am getting about 70-85 degrees F and about 90-100% relative humidity. Yet the problem, or possible problem is that when the cool mist goes on for that hour is dramatically drops the temp as low as 61 degrees and the humidity as low as 85% maybe lower and it takes the Martha about a couple of hours to recover to the stable temp and humidity. Is this a problem? I was thinking that it may be a good thing, to initiate pinning by lowering the temp a couple of times a day for an hour. I have read one tec that claims 95%-100% humidity and others that have said 90%-95% humidity. What are your personal opinions about temp/humidity and my Martha setup?

The pic shows my Martha before I ran the ultrasonic through a diffuser.
