Dehydrator in the same room/enclosure as SGFC?
    #19006829 - 10/21/13 01:08 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Searched around a bit and couldn't find anything relating to this:

I was fruiting my cakes in about a 100 sq. ft. room maintaining about 77 F in the room with no running fans or anything. Cakes flushed well and flushed about 4 times. I live in a dry climate and recognized that the 4-5 inches of perlite in the SGFC became very dry by the end of the 4th flush.

Weeks later... Did the same thing EXCEPT there was a running dehydrator in the room. After the first flush I noticed that the perlite in the SGFC was significantly more dry than it should be! It dried out in one week as much as it did in 5 weeks without the dehydrator in the room.

I didn't think a dehydrator in the same room/enclosure as the SGFC would make a difference, but it seemed to significantly dehydrate the entire room.

Anyway, just thought I'd share one of my observations since I couldn't find anything about it on the forums...

I had to learn this lesson the hard way too. I actually stuck a hygrometer on the wall. It would sit at about 60 percent but when I would run my dehydrator it dropped to 20 percent. I never run a dehydrator anywhere near my fc or tubs anymore

HMMMMm....... I see, This explains things. I just noticed that my perlite is very dry after a few short days. So the dehydrator is circulating dry air through the room and pulling moisture from my SGFC's. Good to know.
