Help Please! Yellow, Metabolite Fluid Buildup, Is my FC Set up correctly?
    #13025657 - 08/09/10 09:21 AM (14 years, 5 months ago)

I put my bulk substrate onto a piece of tinfoil in a FC with a bunch of holes drilled in all 6 sides with about 6 inches of damp perlite lined at the bottom.

I have a CFL beaming down on it about 5 inches or so from the top of the transparent lid

i also have a ceiling fan running on low

The temperature inside the chamber reads about 76 degrees

my problem is that im not sure if im getting correct evaporation

every time i mist (about every 2 hours) a lot of water ends up pooling on the top of the substrate which i then blot off. i dont know if im getting correct evaporation


i also saw a lot of yellow fluid built up today and did some searches and figured its metabolites.

am i doing something wrong?

is it too hot? not enough FAE?


do I have too much perlite in the FC?

thanks for all the help

Don't mist every two hours. That's for cakes.
Let it dry off, then mist it down as needed.

i read somewhere that you treat non cased bulk subs like cakes but i mustve understood wrong or taken that out of context.

thanks for all the help it means a lot when you can ask a question and get an answer so quickly. really helps take some of the stress away

Treat the the same in a general sense, they want the same conditions.
But a bulk block generates a lot of humidity around itself, cakes are smaller.
You need that evaporation and replacement to happen- it's a big pinning trigger.
