7$ way to increase your humidity. (edibles only because it's a sponsor)
Just add water :cookiemonster:
http://out-grow.com/raw-materials-c-6/large-horticultural-perlite-8-quarts-p-29.html

FAE is more important than humidity.
Make a proper SGFC and you won't have to play games with humidity gauges or products like that.

OR

Make a monotub and never worry about it again. Just dial it in with polyfill.

That product is a waste of money.

How often would you need to refill the water in the bowl? And where did you get it?

I have perlite in my chamber. It only brought it to 60% humidity. This is why I needed this stone to increase it.

I am using a SGFC and there is perlite in my chamber. It simply wasn't good enough to reach high humidity without some help. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this sort of problem which is why I posted

Do your thing man. It's your money.

I said what I needed to so if people stumble on this thread in the future, they will hopefully get some decent info.

Thanks for editing the OP to clarify.
What is your chamber like?
Is it per the tek?

Yea it's all good man. I probably should of explained my set up more in OP. I edited it and added that I'm using perlite and stuff. Thanks for your input, hopefully this thread will help some people get this humidity stuff worked out.

I'm surprised 5" didn't bring it that high, I had about 2" and it stayed above 90%. Every 2 weeks I would put it in my shower and soak the perlite though.

It's a standard SGFC and I even made a thread about it back when I first made it and all of you guys on here looked at the pictures and said it was good. So I'm really not sure what the issue is with it. Either way I was happy to invest in the stone since as long as I don't drop it it will last me a lifetime of grows. So far I'm at 85% humidity :laugh:

That's frustrating. Make sure the holes in the bottom are not clogged and the perlite is a moist as possible. Is your chamber elevated?

Yep I poked the holes in the bottom after I added damp perlite to make sure nothing was clogged and the chamber is elevated 6 inches off the table.

Also I should add that I was getting pins without this stone @ 60% humidity so I didn't exactly need it, but I figured it would help. I read a lot that humidity needs to be at 85-100% to be ideal so I wanted to get myself into that range.

Is your house drafty?  Do you run a fan in the room with the SGFC?

I'm pretty sure those things need fairly still air to function correctly.

Just from reading, I've never fucked around with cakes.

doesn't that stone roughly do the same thing as perlite i.e its just a porus stone like surface that provides alot of surface area for evaporation? i honestly think its a problem with your humidity gauge did you ever check it by wrapping in a warm damp towel for an hour and see what it reads? because i dont see that stone doing more than the perlite due to its small surface area just my 2cents

It's basically a hollow dome that goes in the bowl that's full of water. Not sure what the dome is made of. And even if it uses the same concept as perlite it's still a better alternative if it will keep 85% humidity without it. I just have to see if it's still as effective without the perlite helping out. The reason I think it would be a better alternative is because it's infinitely re-useable and there's zero hassle of straining water through perlite or perlite falling through the holes in the bottom and shit. Also I've read posts where people mentioned mold and stuff growing in their perlite after awhile, with this that's not an issue.

Oh yea and as for the humidity gauge, no there is no problem with it. It's brand new. If it was broken it would not of increased gradually when I placed the stone in there and it also would not decrease immediately after I fan the chamber for 30 seconds. I had a broken humidity gauge before and it just stayed at the same reading no mater what I did to it.

I don't see how there is nothing in the bowl for contaminates to thrive on. I've never heard of someone having a glass or bowl of water sitting in open air for a while growing mold or anything. I could be wrong though :shrug:

So basically you don't need it, you had mushrooms and pins and what not before, and you're wasting some money. I mean do what you want. Probably not enough to notice a difference to power and water. However, a properly built sgfc can be done in my climate. A zone 2 plant hardiness with humidity generally under 10%. Also don't listen to the sources saying 85-100 is needed. 60% is actually perfectly fine.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21856836

obviously they're cracked from being dry, but that's because they're subjected to such harsh conditions. A proper sgfc can dip down to 50% relative humidity at times based on the rooms air currents. What truly matters is a constant surface humidity/hydration (replaced with misting) with a lower humidity around it. This with a maximum fae will cause a constant evaporation. Any info from 5 years to now will completely agree with this statement. What matters most is the eyes to know when it needs to be misted or not.

Also in Florida it's not constantly 95%-100%. That is actually ridiculously beneficial for bacteria and as said before slows down evaporation. Also the fruits might be a bit wet, but the cakes look like they still need more. Still not even at the right darkness of proper hydration

A SGFC should fluctuate between 85-55%  rh. If it jumps from higher to lower than that in a short period of time you will end up with split fruits like the OP of this thread. Thats why I suggested to check his AC as that will interfer with the chambers natural operation.

Your hygrometer is most likely not correct, most are garbage and analog ones need to be constantly recalibrated. Thats why few real cultivators use them. If the rh has not dropped to at least 60 when you fan, its not working.

Lets be completely serious here. No monotub holds RH higher than 80. They don't need to. A fruit can grow just fine in 60 RH. Some of the best grows here on the boards were done in open air. The only place the rh needs to be at 95% is right at the substrate surface. Microclimate.

Thanks for all the info! I seem to be at a steady 86-87% so far, should I take the stone out or what? Like is this 86-87% better then the 60% I had before or should I just let it go back to a steady 60%? And no worries about the money spent 7 dollars ain't gunna keep me up at night :P

Also that last part from pasty was extremely good to know for me because when I fanned my SGFC a while ago my hydrometer dropped from 85% or so down to 60% so at least I can be positive it's working :laugh:

Well in all reality 100% humidity means stagnant air. Humidity rises, so when it has no where to go, it'll just saturate the whole inside.

95-100 will over saturate the cakes, increase chances of bacteria, and severely drop evaporation rates to the point of being detrimental.

As long as you can keep the cakes glistening/hydrated properly by misting when they need it, the lower rh/high fae climate will have constant evaporation. This will promote pinning. This is why what matters the most is the eyes to know when it needs to be misted. There's been tons of open air grows done with just misting when needed.

Well in all reality 100% humidity means stagnant air. Humidity rises, so when it has no where to go, it'll just saturate the whole inside.

95-100 will over saturate the cakes, increase chances of bacteria, and severely drop evaporation rates to the point of being detrimental.

As long as you can keep the cakes glistening/hydrated properly by misting when they need it, the lower rh/high fae climate will have constant evaporation. This will promote pinning. This is why what matters the most is the eyes to know when it needs to be misted. There's been tons of open air grows done with just misting when needed.




So in theory if I let my RH go back to 60% and just mist more I would get more pins? I only ask because my main reason for trying to raise humidity was because it seems I was misguided into thinking high RH causes pins. If the only thing I need for a lot of pins is 60% and regular misting I will happily do that. I just want to be sure I'm doing everything I can to increase my pins

Well if they were too dry at any point, then yeah definitely. Make sure they don't get too dry or too wet. No pooling water. Ever. There's a goldilocks zone lol

Seriously Mad Season, you are too legit. I can always count on you to bring me great info. Many thanks buddy. Also cake #1 has 5 pins and bunches of knots forming <3 my other cake in there has no pins yet and my third cake is going to be soaking for the next couple hours to complete it's 24 hour dunk then it'll be right along side it's brothers.

:rockon: glad I can help :smile:. If you keep them happily hydrated, you'll be seeing amazing stuff. In fact if you can keep it constantly hydrated, you'd be wanting as much fae as possible. That combo (misting when needed, and in a chamber that maxes fae) makes them pin like mad for me
