A crazy idea that might just work?
    #7835582 - 01/05/08 01:22 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

So, I've got a greenhouse set up with a few casings and a coolmist inside. Because it's inside I've heard it's generally a good idea to fan it several times a day to allow for FAE.

Back in the day I attempted to make a PMP but eventually outgrew it, pardon the pun.

So, I was wondering about combining the two ideas. What if I strung some tubing from the air pump into the greenhouse? The pump would be outside the greenhouse, pumping in fresh air.

Is this idea silly/useless and by doing so I am recklessly endangering my grow? Or might it have some merit?

Discuss! :p

Yes, it is, unless your greenhouse is huge.

The right amount of holes can provide all the FAE you could ever want without any electricity.

I'd rather not mutilate my greenhouse anymore than I have to, hence this idea. It's not like it's a huge air pump, it was meant to be put in a poor man's pod.

I wondered the same thing when I got my greenhouse a few months ago. I searched around on here and found that most people just used a single coolmist with the intake facing near the opening for FAE. I just made some ducts out of cardboard to make sure the majority of incoming air was fresh. Pic:



The flushes ive had didnt have thin stems, which I believe is a sign of a lack of FAE.

I needed a ultrasonic because my coolmists couldnt keep up the humidity in the very dry room. Probably not normally needed on the average setup, nor are dual coolmists.

Good luck!

CantiSama~

I have a similar setup, how is that one hose working for you? Can you get the humidity pretty high? I have 2 tubes going from the humidifies and splitting up into 4 hoses for every tier in the greenhouse.

Peace,

I'd take a knife and cut a slit from top to bottom on each side. Then, forget the pump. Keeping it simple is my recommendation.
