Box fan use if I have my fc in a closet partially?
    #18709703 - 08/15/13 03:26 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Pretty much what the title says, I'm getting ready to put my cakes in the sgfc tomorrow after theyre  dunk and rolled, and start my second successful grow in my closet, I'm using pf tek with brf cakes. When I did my first grow I was able to get some mushrooms but none were particularly big even though I followed all the steps, this time I spent some time looking for the right shape of jars etc. to improve some variables..
Anyways my question: I'm wondering if running a box fan in my closet periodically each day (like maybe each time I fan the sgfc with the lid, also turn the fan on for a few minutes) will provide better conditions for my mushies?
I realize I should not aim the fan at the cakes, but where would be an ideal place to put the box fan if this is a viable idea?
Also my closet door is open and not closed when I do my grows, oh and I could post a pic of my set up if needed. I used the search but couldn't really find a good answer to my question. Thanks for any advice I receive! :smile:

On the off chance I have a sgfc going I do have it running in a room with fans as they are usually with my tubs. The fan just dries the living fuck out of your cakes,  trays or bricks.  You will still have to fan and you'll have to mist a ton more.  If you aren't watching it nearly 24/7 they will dry out too much.

Not a good idea to run a fan in the same room as a SGFC. It will get plenty of air already if you built it and are maintaining it properly.

I agree with that,  but with my current setup I have no choice when I use one.  I have to mist 4 to 6 times a day, that's why I was letting him know it's doable but a pain in the ass.

Yeah if you ever run into a situation where you have no choice but to have a fan blowing you'd probably be better off with a different FC design for your cakes, something other than a SGFC.

Generally I'm doing shoebox size bricks of coir. So I'm sure there are better methods,  but this is scrap spawn and sub.  Plus I have the option of misting 6 times a day.  I'm not disputing any fact you posed, we even agreed that it dries the fuck out of shit.  I just don't want to give the op a blanket no.

Thanks for the replies!
When I run the fan it won't be facing the cakes at all, it'll just be there for extra air circulation and it'll only be on a few mins, I don't see how it could dry them out like that, I have plenty of time to spend maintaining my SGFC so if it actually improves my harvest I wouldn't mind using it, just my thoughts..
So even if the FC is partially in a closet the cakes should still get enough FAE with 2-3 times of misting and fanning per day?

It doesn't matter if it's pointed at it or not.  The sgfc is made for rooms with little to no circulation.  Bottom line again unless you can mist a shit ton your chamber will be dryer than Betty Whites pussy.

Alright I see. Well I just placed my cakes into my SGFC, again I've got plenty of time to maintain it so hopefully I'll get better pins this time.

Just manually fan and mist twice a day. Looks good from what I can see.  Shop light is a little over kill but so are plenty of things I do.

Alright cool thanks! Now I'm sitting here looking at them and hoping they don't dry out, I'm so OCD with this hobby, probably why I bought that huge light just to make sure they're getting enough light throughout the FC. :cool:

The fan will only make you work harder. Get rid of it and just leave the closet open.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.
