My automated greenhouse - need advice for cakes
    #17028218 - 10/14/12 08:00 AM (11 years, 4 months ago)

Hi This is my first post and my first grow. First of all I'd like to say how much help everyone has been as i was lurking through all the teks.

I decided to go with the greenhouse because of the ease of use and automation.
Here's my greenhouse setup I have 2 fans intake on bottom and top out.
I have a vicks coolmist i picked up at walmart on the bottom shelf, i cut a little hole for the intake of fresh air.
I'll be putting my cakes in there when they're ready, any advice on growing my cakes in here would be greatly appreciated. should i just run the coolmist 24/7 without using the fans?


Here's my cakes, the ones on the right were incubated 8 days ago

correct try it without the fans, its going to be a hit and miss, unless you have accurate guaging equipment now to dial it in, the only way to find out what works is to try it, keep in mind enviromental factors to, when your weather changes more than likely you have to change something in your gh to keep it to maintain, yours looks bery nice btw, id stick one more ligt fixture inbetween the two you already have, and try to just run the coolmist 24/7 with no fans, leave the doors partially unzipped

I also read somewhere i should have 5 inches of perlite on the bottom, do you think this will be necessary?

I never used perlite with my GH, between the coolmist and ultrasonic I ran, it kept perfect conditions at all times.  The coolmist alone can do the job, I just added the ultrasonic to help speed up the RH rise after the fans cleared the GH.  If you really want an awesome way to keep the RH and FAE up when you move on to bulk trays, look into getting a small pond fogger and a duct fan, then you'll be able to use all the shelves and not have interior space being taken up by equipment.  You will need a timer for the fogger though if you go that route, I love it since it allows you to supply constant, humid FAE :smile:
