Advice on my FC build.
    #14241022 - 04/05/11 10:19 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I have searched mini SG, 30qt FC and have not found any good teks. I have a cake dunked and I need to build my FC before tonight.



I bought a 30qt rubbermaid container It measures
11 inches tall
10 wide
11 long

fruiting conditions: 63f/40% humidity.

Can someone please advise how I should manipulate this FC to make it workable.  I understand that no one can say for certain what will work unless it has been documented so I realize this is just ADVICE.

to I have to go SGFC with this or?  I have only ONE cake.

1/4 inch drilled holes every 2 inches, on all 6 sides. About 4 inches of damp Perlite on the bottom of the FC just dont pack it down. I have one about this size and it works wonders.

Perfect! I had initially read that a small FC like this would loose its humidity very fast with those many holes.  Ill take your word for it and give it a  go!

thanks

are you from Ireland? Awesome

Your temps and humidity need to be higher. You want it at tleast 75 Degrees and at 99-100% humidity. If you do have a problem holding humidity tape a few of the holes. Ive had to do it a few times. Just like every other hole and such. And be sure your FC is elevated for better FAE. Just play around with it a little bit.

I dont think you read my post, or i was not clear. sorry

The room temp is 63 (ive read from good sources this is fine)

Room humidity is 40%, with the proper specs which is what im requesting.  My FC will be 100-95% at all times. :smile:

Posts like this make me want to scream bloody friggen murder.

Taping holes REDUCES humidity.  Period.  How anyone can think that less air passing through moist perlite is going to raise humidity is beyond imagination.  Disinformation like this screws up countless grows, and I'm not here 24/7 to refute them all. :hissyfit:

Besides all that, the number 1 pinning trigger is fresh air, not humidity.  I fail to see why one would even consider to sacrifice the number 1 pinning trigger in favor of something much less important, and which can easily be made up for with extra misting. :shrug:

Watch RR videos, he shows how to do everything.

I wouldn't have a single successful grow without them.

well she is done, I did 1/4 holes and spaced them out just using my judgement lol

If FAE is more important then humidity and i can help humidity with more misting I went for more holes then less.

wish me luck,
