Re: Frank's easy mini-GH, no condensation and 24/7 FAE [Re: FrankHorrigan]
    #22026581 -

Two questions:

1: Where can I buy that plastic greenhouse cover that goes over both of your wire racks?

2: Does the evaporative humidifier have some type of fan in it?  I noticed that the curtains are peeled back around where it sits in the greenhouse.  Does it have a built in fan that is pushing old air out of the GH for FAE purposes?

I like your setup. Question. I use an infrared sw ultraviolet light in my flow hood and was wondering if you see any benefit or opposite of building a structure around the water holding tank oh humidifier with the uv light keeping the water clean?

Hand spray twice a day with a small pull fan and you won't need the humidifier. The bricks create a ton of humidity on their own when properly hydrated.

How will humidifiers feel in such high RH? Anyone has experience? They are electric devices and I suppose there may be problems with contacts etc when RH is such high.

Can I use ultrasonic humidifier inside greenhouse? How long will it work? :-)

I guess they were made to work in high RH... But never used one so I don't know

Mine broke, it stopped completely. But then, as the circuitry dried out it started working again, almost, it now only runs on max effect which is too much, but better to have too much than too little (I guess).

So I ended up piping in humidity anyway.

Hi Frank,

Thank you for your informative thread.

However, I recently read another post in another forum and there was a guy who put his humidifier inside his terrarium only to find that his home had actually burnt down.

I did use the strategy of having the humidifier inside the fruiting chamber also but it eventually ruined the humidifier. (It recovered after I had it oursite though.)

Maybe this is worth considering.

Kind regards
Johnny

Perhaps the guy had other electronics inside his greenhouse. It's a bad idea to have electronical components inside a high humidity environment. In this video tutorial this guy has a fan inside of his martha. Following his tek the fan will probably stop working after a week or two in operation:



Here's a quote from RR regarding the subject:

RogerRabbit said:
The inside of a cool mist type humidifier is always at 100% humidity because of all the mist flying around in there.  You can run a cool mist, such as the vicks kaz models inside the greenhouse without problems.  I've done so for years and wouldn't recommend something that wasn't safe.  I'm an electrical engineer, as well as licensed journeyman electrician, so am qualified to make that determination.

There is no reason to run any other electrical device inside a greenhouse.  The timer(s) should be located outside the greenhouse.  Computer fans are made for computers, which stay dry.  They're not suitable for a high humidity environment the way humidifiers are.

Has anyone used this mini-GH style with long term success? I just set one up and want to confirm I don't have to worry about my ultra-sonic getting fried.

Also, is a plastic sheet on the bottom sufficient to stop water/condensation from leaking out and onto the floor or should I find a tub to set the entire GH in?

I don't know where to get them, but the person that originally taught me how to grow
had a mini-GH and he had a bus tub that was big enough to set the whole thing in.

What timings did you use for your ultrasonic and cool mist? Its pretty dry here so I'm planning to run my cool mist on low every 30 min and run the ultrasonic for 30 minutes every 2 hours. Does that seem reasonable?

I don't have a 15 minute timer so I can't follow Frank's intervals exactly and I'm worried that if I run the evaporative cool mist 24/7 things are going to get pretty dry.

Not sure how much it matters but I'm fruiting Shiitake right now, not sure if they would prefer the FAE or RH to be maximized.
