Question about method im using
    #18864113 - 09/19/13 05:44 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So i have been having a problem with water buildup in bulk trays.  I had an enclosed shelving unit that ran water and fresh air in through a humidifier to make it more automated as I can not be attending them several times a day. 

So i had an idea to stop the buildup of water to spawn the bulk to the trays like normal but i put a layer of tin foil on the bottom so i can easily remove the cakes when it is ready for fruiting.

As the shelving was pvc and designed to hold the trays i put a chicken wire like mesh on the shelves to support the cakes.

I will be removing the cakes and putting just the tinfoil with cakes on it ontop of the mesh.

I was wondering if this setup has been tried before or any input on it as to a viable method?

You need to post a pic of what you have

I'm not clear. Are you getting pools of water in your trays? or on your shelves?

are you maintaining good temps? do you have good air flow?  like air flowing in then out? you probably just need to put your humidifier on a timer and find out just the right timing:thumbup:

the setup is a basic one with 2 tiers with pvc and nothing in the middle.  I do have airflow and I have cut several slits on the plastic to allow with this.  The timer is set to run 20 minutes every 6 hours and the temp stays steady at 80F.

With the setup i had, imagine 2 bars running parallel with the trays resting on the pvc pipes with the lip of the trays supporting it.

Now I have a chicken wire mesh zip tied to both sides to support the cakes as I will not be using the trays as it seems the water collects in them to much and the water pools ontop of the myc
