AirPump Questions
    #21941909 - 07/14/15 12:41 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I am set to start my first grow tomorrow, following the usual pf tek with the up to date variations (dunk and roll, etc). I have a question about the conditions of my fruiting chamber. Im using a large clear plastic bin with perlite. I've got holes drilled all across the top, i feel its pretty sufficient for FAE in the current state, but i want a more automated process. I've also got an air pump and bubbler rock to throw in on top of that. I've read that an air pump can add an extra 15% humidity to the chamber, it that true? My biggest question is whether or not the addition of the air pump and bubble system will eradicate my need to fan the cakes regularly. I figure that the addition of fresh air will help, but will it solely be enough for my shrooms to fruit up?

I know its a really sophomoric question, and that the most common response will be to use the search bar, but im just nervous about my first run and want to know a clear cut answer. Thanks Guys

if you want to automate your fc drill holes in the bottom and on all sides.
air will come up through the perlite and get humidified and you'll have great FAE!

Build a SGFC and ditch the air pump.

Dope, thanks for the link. Way simpler than I'm making it out to be.

Exactly, stick to tried and true, don't short cut yourself unless you have ample research and proven tactics for why you want to do what you want to do, a SGFC will work wonders, not that an air pump setup won't work, but stick to the guns of fellow growers.

If you go down round the bend in the river,
You're gonna find a few changes been going down there.

If you go down to the gas-powered flatland,
Where most of the people just think that they're free,
Remember the peace that you had on the mountain,
Come back to the love that you had here with me...

No problem, bud. Follow that to a T and you'll do just fine!
