Where do you keep your SGFC?
    #13697138 - 12/28/10 05:28 PM (13 years, 1 month ago)

I was just wondering where people keep there SGFC? Looking for different ideas. I don't think this closet thing is going to work out. I just don't get where to put it. It's not like I can stick it on my coffee table in the living room. :lol:

I was going to put mine at the top of a closet but it wont fit.
I heard from many people that it will reduce FAE and hinder growth.
I will be keeping mine 6'' off the floor because it's my only option.
It is also my first grow and I read on a couple posts that 90% of contams settle on the floor.
This seems like stoner-talk and I would wish to have this idea confirmed or rejected but haven't had any success so far.
Do you have any experience with this? or anyone else?

I am also a noob and from what I have read this is true. It's not really stoner talk. It's pretty logical. Airborn contams would eventually settle to the floor if you think about it. Anything hovering around unless it has wings or some type of propulsion would fall to the ground because of gravity. LOL Seems logical... but what do I know.

i think its more of an issue of natural airflow that will provide the automated FAE.  No FAE = contams

I have a fan blowing in the room. So hopefully that would stir up the settled contams and increase FAE.
I just read that colonized mycelium does a pretty good job at fighting off contams so I'm confused as to how that would be an issue in the first place during fruiting.

Eventually your mycelium will weaken after the first flush.  This will determine how many flushes you will get. really weak conditions = prime conditions for contams

Grow them at an adult friend's home, who's clean and who you can trust to maintain it.

There really isn't any way around it.  I had two SGFCs in a closet and they did terrible.  Having it out in the open, suspended more than a few inches above the ground is the way to go.
It's kinda irritating when this concern is mentioned and the poster gets accused of being underage, growing in rents house, etc.
Like no, not everyone is fine with having 'shroom boxes' sprawled out on the floor.
But I feel ya man.  Shotguns need to be kept out in the open.

Have to keep it in my kitchen, on a butcher block table...that's the only place in my house with a 3-prong plug for the space heater I'm forced to use, in order to maintain at LEAST 68 degrees in my SGFC (Stupid, drafty house!)

I've got the same problem, no easy place for the SGFC... and my place is carpeted, so I've gotta avoid the floor level even more.

In the past I've stealthed tubs in the kitchen, but SG doesn't lend itself to stealth... hundreds of little holes of light lol :wink:

At the moment my plan is to build a 3' high shelf to hold the tub, with the shelf itself built out of 1" wood or some wire, in order to support airflow out the bottom.

I put mine in my closet(sliding doors, not knob-close) and I got a amazing flush from 5 cakes. Just make sure you fan with the doops open and have a window open.
