Shotgun FC and fanning
    #10102462 - 04/03/09 08:11 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

So just a quick question... With a shotgun FC how important is fanning? don't you get a ton of FAE from all the holes? I just ask because I work 8 or 9 hours out of the day and may not be able to fan all the time...

There is no reason why I would ever want to nor will I grow mushrooms containing psilocybin while in the USA.

The answer to your question has no bearing on your project. It's not as though you're going to be able to ask for time off of work if someone says that you need to fan more than you are able.

Fan whenever you can, don't fan when you can't. If you find FAE is an issue (through experience or the wisdom of another more experienced member) then you might have to find some other solution.

yu do get some natural FAE with all the holes, but the definatition of FAE is complelty replacing the air inside your FC once per hour, which even in a shotgun cant be achieved with all the holes.

You can get away with not doing it, but generaly you experience more contamination when you dont.

fresh air exchange is a very important pinning trigger. 4-5 times a day is recomended, but its not set in stone, some do more, some less. and it doesnt have at set internaveal.s

I would think making more shotguns or having fewer cakes or trays per shotgun would help a little. There would be more air trapped in the shotgun per cake, so it may help with any O2 problems. However, it wouldn't help much on the contam front.

you should be fine with two times a day.. morning/night

fan then let the mist fall onto the cakes.. mist the walls & lid as well
