coolmist and FAE
    #18958939 - 10/10/13 11:36 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I've recently had some success spawning to smaller tupperware containers, rather than monotubs.  Don't ask me why...im doing nothing different in any of my prep methods.  But for some reason in monos, I'd get about a 40% success rate.  Maybe the way the crappy lids fit was allowing for too much air exchange during colonization.  Either way, the smaller tupperwares are working at 100% so far.

Usually when it's time to fruit them, I pop about 9 cakes on to the floor of the mono so that it's covering the entire floor...give it a couple of good mistings, and it works like a dream.

But I've also decided to set up a mini greenhouse, and I've just got a question about the coolmist and the FAE.  I've put it inside the greenhouse on the bottom shelf, but I've cut open the plastic on the greenhouse and taped it around the air intake on the coolmist.  Now the coolmist is constantly taking in from the fresh air outside of the tent. 

Will this be adequate FAE? or should I also cut a couple of slits in the sides like I've read on previous threads? 

If I do need to cut more slits....whats a decent size amount?  I'm thinking a 3" slit at each level, on opposite sides of the GH...so a 4 tier system would be 8 slits.  Good or no?

Advice is much appreciated.

FAE is 'fresh air exchange' which is provided by cutting windows and/or slits in the sides of the greenhouse.  Coolmists are humidifiers, designed to moisturize the air, not provide exchange other than that the turbulence they create within the greenhouse helps to draw air in and out through the vents.

You'll want a lot of slits and probably not want to run the humidifier 24/7
