Shotgun will only get to 80% RH
    #13994237 - 02/20/11 05:26 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Allright, so I made a SGFC for some cakes, and made a SGFC.  I followed the tek to the letter.

I have 2 analog hygrometers, that are both calibrated....they both display 80% in the SGFC.  The air in my apt is about 30% RH. 

I have read alot of topics about the SGFC only reaching 80%, so it seems to be a common problem.  The "fix" that everyone suggests is to either tape up holes or get a better hygrometer.  I tried to tape up holes (i taped up alot of them!) and it only rose a few percent.

Help??

followed to the T? so holes in the bottom as well? how deep is your perlite layer?
afaik 82% is enough RH so i think you don't have to worry

Don't tape the holes, that'll fuck up you FAE... If you have 1/4" holes, spaces every 2" you're fine. any pix of the FC? how much perlite you have in there?

maybe some more holes in the bottom could rise the Humidity.

i have about 4 inches of perlite, holes every 2 inches on all 6 sides, sitting on top of 2 upside down bowls.

every topic i search about this has the same answers...first person says "Tape it!", 2nd person says "Dont tape anything!"

i guess ill just let it go a few days and see what happens.

True, I have seen that post of yours... works real well for bulk, have you tried it with cakes yet? If so, mr RR has been proven wrong as thats what he has been saying for a while...

I taped the top up completely, and it hasnt raised one bit.

if the perlite was too wet, would that block airflow?

Taping won't help as I've posted hundreds of times.  Besides, fresh air exchange is the number one pinning trigger, so why would you want to screw up the most important thing in favor of a secondary consideration?

How did you calibrate your hygrometers, and where are they placed?  If they're against the edges, then they're reading incoming air, which will naturally be lower in humidity.  Furthermore, how many cakes are in the terrarium?  If it's totally empty, 80% is about right.  Once cakes are in there getting misted daily, it will be mid 90% humidity.

The reason I ask how you calibrated the hygrometers is because many people search and find the salt method used in cigar humidors.  If you used this method, your hygrometer is accurate in the 70 to 80 percent range.  Use the damp towel procedure.

Good call, i did indeed use the salt water calibration method....recalibrating now.

also, they were up against the edges, ill move one in the middle.

There are 9 cakes in the sgfc.
