SGFC fanning and misting question. * 1
    #16482438 - 07/04/12 08:28 PM (11 years, 8 months ago)

I have always done bulk grows, but with the demise of an ancient PC, I have many consolidated BRF cakes. So I built a mini SGFC (holds 8 cakes), to RR's specs - That is 1/4" holes every 2" and 4-5" of pearlite. So am I supposed to mist and fan the chamber? If so how often? There are so many threads concerning this that I gave up trying to glean any concise answer. little help please, I just birthed last night.

I am not an expert by any means, but through my research I feel I have a general idea.

SGFC are more maintenance free than other setups. That being said, mist twice and fan 4-8 times daily. obviously this should be tapered to the specific grower, but that system worked just fine for me.

depends on the rooms RH and air circulation

also depends on size of tub

my 15 cake tub id mist when i woke up and went to bed and then some days mist at lunch (if i was home 4/7 daysish) room stays at 50 RH
i also would fan after the mistings

watch your cakes and use your gut feelings, if youve done bulk then you should have somewhat of a blue thumb

:whathesaid:

Fan every hour if possible! If not just do it when you can.

Mist to replace moisture lost from fanning. If it looks/feels dry then mist.

Always fan after misting.
