Question regarding rate of FAE for oysters.
    #17563823 - 01/17/13 05:59 PM (11 years, 2 months ago)

The Mushroom Cultivator states that you need 4-6 air exchanges... PER HOUR for  fruiting oysters.

This doesn't seem right to me, everything I read states that they need A LOT of FAE.  I'm designing my ventilation for the greenhouse I'm building and I'd like to ensure that I do it right the first time. 

Greenhouse is to be roughly 8 x 14 x 7.  That's 784 cu ft.  In order to exchange the air 6 times per hour, I'd need roughly 80 CFM for the whole greenhouse?  Does this seem low to anyone else?  I was looking into purchasing a blower, when it appears a duct booster fan will be sufficient according to the book I have.  Would love to hear some opinions on this.

I also believe c02 is heavier than air, so I'd want to blow fresh air in from the top?

CO2 will freely mix with air where there is flow, you shouldn't have any issue with your air coming in from any point because the flow will remix it completely over the green house.  It doesn't "pool" (else sleeping on the floor would be deadly.)
