Well that is how much they require. You can give them less with less then optimal results. Save some money and hook an ultrasonic up to your setup. Obviously it'll work your way, as you've already shown it will, I'm just saying that giving them what they need will provide more optimal performance.

you're not fully understanding my setup. I do not use a humidifier, I rely on the cakes to produce their own humid environment, which they do, if I add any more fea, they won't have enough time to recover the humidity level untill next fae, I've tried adding more, they just dried out. but anyway, I don't think I have an fae problem at all.
well then you should probably look into a source of additional humidification because after hearing you explain your problem i would be willing to bet that if you could supply constant and humid FAE then you could use your fc as the actually "tray" and you would see the results that you didnt before.

i believe by having what is basically a monotub with a vaccum attached, you are actually creating the problems you describe.
pumping in humid air is always going to be better than sucking it out.

i evacuate the gasses while introducing fresh air from the room, whats wrong with that? its always worked well, the problem isn't in the chambering. The problem was in the casing!!! I had to use dolomitic lime since horticultural wasn't around...that definitely had a negative effect. I'm back to proper lime in my mix and hopefully will have much better results shortly.
