Can't decide on FC, need advice.
    #19360739 - 01/02/14 09:08 PM (10 years, 28 days ago)

Hey there fellow shroomerites, I am currently on my first grow and I have a 70qt sterlite tub that I plan on using as my fc, I plan on putting trays of colonized substrate into the fc, but I can't decide how I should use it, I was initially going to use an ultrasonic humidifier to keep the rh up by pumping it directly into the fc and using about 3inches of perlite, but I have read that ultrasonic humidifiers tend to over saturate the substrate, and because of this I have considered using just perlite and turning my sealed chamber terrarium into a sgfc. So my question is, should I turn it into a large sgfc or keep it sealed and use both perlite and an ultrasonic humidifier? Also if I kept it sealed would fanning about 8 times a day suffice?

I don't like the idea of a completely sealed FC without some sort of pump or fan for air exchange.

I like ultrasonics because they raise the RH quickly and easily giving you the ability to ad FAE without losing humidity but they should only be run for short periods of time or they will soak everything.

All that being said for a FC your size a SGFC is probably the smart move.

Thanks everybody I guess I'll just turn it into a sgfc by drilling 1/4 inch holes every two inches, how deep should my layer of perlite be for a 70qt tub.
