Mini greenhouse setup. Could use some advice.
    #20615879 - 09/25/14 08:02 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

What's up Shroomery! I'm starting my first bulk substrate grow next week!
I'm so excited!
I'm also I'm the process of building my own mini greenhouse!
Have the shelf and ploy plAstic measured and ready to wrap up the shelf.
With this shelf, I plan to attach extra poles to the top so I can actually use the top shelf.

I'm been reading so much about different setups and methods to keep up RH while helping fresh air exchange.
I think I'm going to get a one head ultrasonic fogger in a five gallon bucket inside the GH. Should I make a bulk humidifier and keep it outside the GH and pump in the fog?



Also these shelves are flat, should I drill holes for water drain off?

P.s. I'm not planning on using the SGFC inside the greenhouse, just sitting there for now lol

And thanks everyone! I've learned so much since I've joined. Seriously this place is awesome .

A cool mist humidifier dialed into 80% R.H is good enough for humidity, no need for a fog ger, they admit a dense mist which causes pooling water on surfaces.

Attach a tray of perlite to the bottom of it to maintain humidity at 80-90% R.H (for bulk) and run the cool mist on a timer, 5minutes every half hour will be sufficient.... At least thats what it was when I dialed mine in, it takes a bit of calibrating on anyone's end to know exactly how frequently it needs to run op.

To answer your question, you could convert that shelf to a greenhouse but it might be cheaper to just buy a Three tier greenhouse for $25 and much less of a hassle.

Ive been pricing cool mist humidifiers and i came to the conclusion that they are kinda expensive, at least all the ones that I find. A one head fogger is cheaper and if I set it up to be feed in from the outside wouldn't it take of the pooling water?

And I'm not sure of I'm wanting to deal with a tray of perlite on the bottom, that would just become thing I would have to change often and worry about stagnant water in the tray.

And I thought about buying one of those greenhouses but I like do stuff on my own, it's more fun that way. You get more experience IMO

I'll look into that. I was just thinking in my head that building my own would probably actually end up costing more. And yeah, defintly want to keep the humidifier outside the GH. Don't wanna have to buy a new one every couple months lol

Yeah, I think i seen the one your talking about.
Gonna look around and see if I can find it cheaper anywhere.
But defintly gonna get one that is styled like that. Would just be so much easier to set up them ones that mist through a grate.
