a few days away
    #21709058 - 05/22/15 03:15 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I will be away  Friday and return Monday.  I have a few cakes in my SGFC.  Should I soak the perlite before I go away because I have no one to mist them for me?

I think I have low FEA on my SGFC because I see white fuzz on the mushrooms and I get a good number of aborts and black spots.  Will this fact help to keep the moisture up so that the cakes don't dry out?  All sides of FC have holes drilled in.

Thank you

A proper SGFC should be fine on it's own for a few days. The cakes shouldn't dry out that fast as the perlite should keep the humidity up.

For the FAE, is the SGFC elevated, leaving the bottom uncovered? or is it near any walls? But for the original question, yeah it should be fine for a weekend.

Yes there are hols on all sides.  It is elevated using some jars.  I have a reptile heating pad underneath because my basement gets so cold, but it doesn't cover all of the bottom.  The FC is against the wall and a display case but not so close as to be airtight.  Does that matter?

Thank you!

Most people suggest somewhere around 6 inches or so of free space for a SGFC. And circulation in the room(most rooms have that). What temp does your basement get to need a heating pad?

It's fine if it's close just usually will require a bit more fanning than normal. I've only used a mini sgfc once when i started growing. So I'm not the best source but from what I've seen and my own experience, a weekend away from your grow won't effect it too much. Cubes can endure plenty.
