Looking for suggestions about my new green house.
    #6229871 - 10/31/06 06:17 AM (17 years, 4 months ago)

Hi there mates :smile:

I've bought around 2-3 weeks ago my first green house. I have an ultrasonic humidifier.

For now i've just a Lentinus edodes block and the ultrasonic humidifier is turned on 15 minutes every 2 hours.

The humidifier is INTO the green house but i'm worried for electrical problems.

I was wondering wheter to prevent that my room will become a pool: on the bottom of the green house is full of water and i can't find a plastic box container larger than the green house.

I'd like your suggestion about the ultrasonic humidifier setup, gas exchange and a tip to prevent the pool under the greenhouse.

Pics of your setup are appreciated.

Tnx!

Fabio

i had my humidifier in my Martha set up and when i first set it up i turned it on and ate 5 grams of mushies. and went outside for 2 hours.

well 2 hours later when i was tripping very hard i went to go check on it and there was a stream running out from my closet. i opened the door and there was water everywhere. so i ended up thinking i was in a swamp that had magical appeared in my bedroom. i was looking for alligators and stuff.

lol
well anyway i put it on a timer and that fixed that problem. but i needed more Fae.
so i ended up taken it out and running a 2 1/2 sub pump hose to it and i get perfect humidity with 15 on and 30 min off. and does great for Fae too because the bottom of my Martha is open.

i think i am going to still install a fan to turn on 3-6 times a day for 2-3 min to help Fae a little more.

good luck

Cool mist in the greenhouse on a timer works great for me,Its easier than rigging it,takes up less room and your cool mist will last longer

I don't even use an ultrasonic - too wet in my opinion. I have a coolmist impeller type which I hooked up a piece of 1" tubing into the top of my martha. Pushes alot of air that is humid - it is on 24 hours a day, and i've never had problems with too much water or not enough humidity.

A cool mist will last much longer IN the greenhouse than outside and piped in with hoses. I've proved that for years.

Line the bottom of your greenhouse with trays of perlite to catch the drips and return them to the air as humidity.

all i have is a cool mist on a timer with 2 1/2 inch hose .

i have the cool mist above the Martha and the hose comes down about half way and then loops back up to the top of the Martha so the water that collects in the hose stays in that bend and not back in the humidifier motor or on the floor of my Martha . when i want all i got to do it open a drain i installed and drain it.

Can you all take photos of your setups?

RR: can you take a pic of the trays?

Thank you again for your time.

I use perlite in the bottom of my gh. It works great, and I don't think contams can last very well on perlite since it's a rock with no nutrients and evaporates water at a fairly quick rate. :thumbup:
