SGFC help
    #19237614 - 12/06/13 05:34 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So I just made my SGFC, and it's been doing its thing all day..



One problem.. I don't see any condensation.. Should I? On the bottom around the perlite I see it, but not above..

I used just a bit bigger than 1/4" drill bit, 2" apart on all sides. And the bottom I used like 1/8" bit but much closer together (so perlite doesn't fall out too much). I have 4" perlite in the terr, and I spray and fan 3-4 times daily (just one day so far). But.. I don't see condensation, the walls look dry few hours after spray.

Only problems I can think of is temperature? My room gets cold (65ish, 60 minimum) especially if I'm not home. And when I am home, I have a mini heater which seems to make my room really dry? I think..? I just don't want my cakes to dry out, any help greatly appreciated.

Nope....it's a good thing....it means that the air inside the chamber is the same as the air outside the chamber....which means you are getting proper FAE.

:facepalm:  Did the tek say to do that?

The perlite would have been fine.

Imagine 4 fat chicks trying to squeeze thru the same doorway at the same time.....

Maybe one of them makes it thru....but the rest will get stuck.

I call it the three stooges effect.

That is how it should be.

Awesome! Thanks a lot, I love seeing your Stewie portrait, I just get excited to read whatever is coming up haha.

And yes, one tek I read said to drill more but smaller holes. And I actually did put a few regular 1/4" holes, about 8, in the center of the bottom, surrounded by a bunch of smaller holes over the rest of the Bottom. And I still got a few pieces of perlite that fell out, but I'm sure after those few barely any will.
