Fruiting Chamber Setup
    #12565678 - 05/15/10 02:14 AM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys I've been going through my first fruiting stages for the past week or so, I have a few questions regarding my setup:




- Is that light too close to the SG Terrarium? (in case you're wondering I can't put the light horizontally in the closet as it's too big)

- Would it be beneficial to the cakes on the opposite side of the light if I spun the SG Terrarium around every 24h or so?

- Is the SG Terrarium far enough off the floor of the closet? Edit: I'd say it's about 2 inches off the floor right now


Thanks for the help guys

I typed that in a quick edit after I posted but you were so quick with your response you probably didnt see it.

I would cut a square out of the lid and put some clear plastic there. Then I would hang the light even if I have to put it on an angle to fit.

How big of a square would you recommend? That will be enough to get light to the entire terrarium despite most of the lid not being clear?

I'd bet it's fine where it is.  That's a pretty big light and it's pretty close.  The shade different makes it look like the far end isn't getting any light but it's just getting comparatively less.

I've seen this a couple times before...
Has it been proven on its side is more beneficial
rather than above?

Yeah I've got two 6500k bulbs goin in there so it's quite a bit brighter than the picture looks. So the cakes on the opposite side won't benefit noticeably if I rotate the terrarium daily?

It's just an optical effect.  The picture makes you think one side is dark and the other side is light while in fact the right side is light and the left side is super bright.

It's similar to this:

I'd raise it up a bit higher. A general rule of thumb is that the first 1 foot to 1 1/2 foot of air in a room is the most concentrated with contams. I'd recommend raising it up above that level at least.

As far as the two inches being enough for FAE? I'd say yes it is.
