Ultrasonic Greenhouse Help
    #20244609 - 07/08/14 08:48 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Hello everyone, First time poster long time lurker, was hoping to get some advice on my setup

i watched a FOAF grow mushrooms last year and decided to try it myself,

I used a old PVC tent i constructed for plant vegetation, cut the top off and replaced with plexi glass





Now i read everywhere people saying to get a Coolmist AND ultrasonic and run them in the tent, well i picked this thing up at shoppers drugmart , it was labled "ultrasonic coolmist" it puts out a ton of mist and has a humidity control




so i gave it a test run inside my tent, it fogged right up in less then 10 minutes and when i went to run the ultrasonic again it wouldent put out nearly as much mist, I think what happened is too much mist was going into the intake and it broke?

i returned it and got another one, so should i run it from the outside with a duct going in the tent?, should i run it top or bottom? and should i have a pc fan or something for exhaust ?

Thanks!

ps-sorry about non rotated pics

most use the cool mist and ultra sonic for two different purposes, the cool mist while providing some rh brings in fae from outside so it stays on 24/7, we use the ultrasonic on a timer to act like a mister so i time the time it takes for my sub to show signs of needing a misting and start there by putting my ultra sonic on a timer set for those given times

I don't like ultrasonic humidifiers as my only source of humidity, i would use them only for replacing the misting of the water atomizer with a timer perhaps. The good ones for me are impellers or evaporative humidifiers, impellers get everything wet, so evaporative humidifiers are even better.

Damn really ? I called every thrift store in town looking for humidifiers and had no luck, broke down and bought this thinking it would be the best of both worlds , was almost 100$,

I really love the fog in the tent tho, looks magical haha, so should I just pick up a cheap vicks cool mist?  Run that 24/7 and turn this on a 10 minute timer ?

Evaporative: The wick system uses a paper, cloth or foam wick or sheet to draw water out of the reservoir. A fan blowing over the wick lets the air absorb moisture.

You have to fill your evaporative with distilled water, because over time minerals in normal water will fuck your evaporative system.

impeller: In this humidifier, a rotating disc flings water at a comb-like diffuser. The diffuser breaks the water into fine droplets that float into the air. You normally see these droplets as a cool fog exiting the humidifier.

I use normal water with impellers, but this things get everything wet, if you use a impeller you will see tiny mini drops of water everywhere in your GH, something not cool, but i fixed it with polyfil :shrug: .
