Pooling in trays question in gh.
    #10045635 - 03/26/09 12:31 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

This hasnt happened to me I'm just curious if in case i see it one day what to do..

What if you get mass amounts of water in your trays, do you just dump the water and put more holes in your greenhouse for more air circulation stopping the condensation or will more holes not do anything?  Will water logging the substrate ruin the grow?

i dont really have any advise as to how to dump the water out but it does happen, the best way to combat this is to take preventave measures. i usully wipe down the sides of my tubs to keep excess moisture from dropping on my subs, i also start FAEs more often untill its fixed

water logging will fuck with your myc, it wont kill the whole network but will small sections and slow others leaving an open door for contams;usully bacteria

hope that helps you

Yes. Dumping out the water is a good choice. I don't think enough condensation will build to water og a tray but if you are worried about too much water you could use paper towels to pick excess water up

Yea my 30QT tubs had a lot of moisture in them. I think it was from overheating and lack of (fresh air) circulation in my incubation chamber. When I went to case them I turned the tubs on there sides and about 1 cup of water ran out from the sides. I just let them drain and cased a little on the dry side so it could help absorb excess moisture. I will let you how it turns out.

Not shure if I have quiet enough Gas exchange 8 1/4in micro-pore holes

The problem you described will usually occur when you are having troubles keeping a high level of RH and try to compensate it by running your fogger too much. I have that problem in winter, when the room temperature is significantly lower that the temperature inside my greenhouse. I get massive condensation. That's why I go cased during the cold months and just live with a lower overall RH. It's better than puddles in my grow trays. Fortunately the cold season is over and I can soon go back to having my grows sit at regular room temperature, which should be back in the 20°'s (Celsius) soon.

German well I thought the trays would have pooling but i checked and everything looks perfect, has that glossy look with tons of water dropslets all over the casing layer.  I have been waiting 7 days and still no pins so im sure everything is on track :smile: update soon.

WTF its happening again everything looked good until about 90% colonization and then it started pooling lots of water so I let it drain out into a bowl and I put a mini fan on top running 24/7 but thats not doing anything, this happened to my other tubs to (pics above) Someone please tell me if I need more gas exchange....
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm about to remove the top and soak up the pools with paper towels and hope I don't get contams in... 
I will be casing it in a couple days.
I'm putting another bin over it for fruiting.
I should have some large fruits if it makes it, 7in depth of Hpoo.

Just keep draining it and use a nice bit of verm/coir when you case it to absorb any excess moisture. Seems like FAE was the problem here. Your micro-pore tape isn't doing it's job. You could have stuffed your FAE holes with some clean, non-nutritive synthetic fibers. Just don't use cotton or anything that would facilitate contaminant growth.
