pinning with 80-90 RH. Can it be done?
    #14473582 - 05/18/11 02:22 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Can you form pins from a brf  cake with only 80-90RF? My place is SO dry that I've gone through three humidifiers. The one I'm using now is a $100 ultra sonic cool mist. I've also got 4 inches of perlite in the bottom of the tub. Still, I can only get 80-90rh. Can I get pins like this? Is there anything else I need? I mist 2-3 time and fan 3-5 times a day. Fanning less doesn't change the humidity levels. I was thinking of making a new tub with half the Air Exchange holes and seeing what that does. I'll have pics in a few days. PLEASE HELP! :uhoh: :frown::confused:

What type of hygrometer are you using? Chances are it is cheap, made
in china and is the reason you think your humidity is only 80-90%.
Good quality hydrometers are hard to come by, and most analog and digital
units purchased at places such as wal-mart, home depot, rona, are all
shit and not accurate at all.

You want to find an analog hydrometer from a cigar shop or similar
establishment that can be calibrated. Wrap it in a moist towel for
an hour and then adjust the set screw to place the meters hand at
100% humidity.

If you build a SGFC following the tek, no deviations it will stay within
the range of 95%-100% no problem. You do not need cool mists, or ultrasonics.

The RH in my lab is around %20 this time of year, very VERY dry and
my 115L SGFC still manages to keep up humidity levels from 90%-100%
with regular fanning and misting.

I do have a proper SGFC the only thing that could be wrong is that MAYBE there might be to many holes.  Also, along with the dryness, my room is the first one that the "forced air" furnace gets to.. making it extremely dry and dries out everything in here. The perlite dries out in two days if I strain it. That's why I was thinking of keeping a half inch to an inch of water at the bottom of the SGFC. I've got a new tub thats the same size as the current one, except that it's only about  8 inches high. I'll be making a  new SGFC out of that tonight. any suggestions would be awesome

If you have a proper shotgun the excess water will just drain out. If your furnace is blowing air directly into the shotgun, move it somewhere else.

you need to make sure that yoiu are getting the correct reading in your shotgun terrium.

First you need an anologue hygrometer than can be adjust, which yoiu calibrate to read 99% by wrapping in a damp towel for 1 hour, and adjust to read 99%

Make sure that the meter isnt over any holes.

Also make sure you are misting your terrarium, this should help keep the perlite moist.

But agian, make sure you really are getting a true reading of your terrarium. improper meters wont do this (ones that cant be calibrated and digital meters)

I dont really think its possible to get pins at that low, and even if you did, your fruits would suffer.

Then simply run a humidifier in the room to bring it up to 35% or so.  Keep the terrarium away from the forced air vent.
