Is this self sustaining terrarium viable?
    #18837125 - 09/13/13 02:09 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)



Okay. So, imagine you have your monotub w/ holes all over, etc. you cut enough space needed on each end for a fan to be put in. One end blowing from outside to in, the opposite one blowing from inside to out. You put these fans on timers for 5 minutes, 3 times daily.
FAE should theoretically be solved.

Next, you have a bucket with water in it, a reservoir. You have a light misting system that runs from that bucket into your terrarium and is set up to mist all over, including the walls. This too is in someway set on a timer for 3 times daily, but only 45 seconds.... Fanning is initiated AFTER misting.
Humidity and misting should then be theoretically no longer an issue.

With all this, and proper sterile conditions taken place, having the proper light on a timer for 12 hours a day above... We should in theory have a cheap self sustaining terrarium.

* times for timers obviously can be adjusted.. Just wanted to create the general idea.

Thoughts?

Cool drawing but yes anything is possible if it can get dialed it right .

But if you keep it simple it always works so much better and has less problems :smile:

Maybe I should have been a little more clear! As much as I appreciate the OG sgfc monotub whatever system, I really need to be able to be away for 16-24 hours at times, and I need some automation innovated into these systems to accommodate for my lack of being able to take care of an sgfc or monotub efficiently.

I leave monotubs alone all the time. I regularly leave them for the weekend.

If you make your substrate and monotub correctly, you need zero maintenance for at least the 1st flush. You won't need any misting or fanning.

The only maintenance is removing the tape and adding polyfill and then harvesting.

The contraption you came up with is presented all the time by noobs. It might work, if you dial it in right, but you will be banging your head against the wall trying.

I know you think it will make everything more maintanance free, but in reality, it will be a PITA.

Sometimes its just best to think inside the box.
