FAE and RH challenges, please help. first bulk attempt
    #22251946 - 09/17/15 04:11 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hey Folks, i have some questions and i'd appreciate any advice, on 15/7 i started fruiting my 50:50 Peat and verm bulk substrate, it was fully colonized, the strain is Oak Ridge, i live in  Egypt, and i have some challenges that i'm describing below.

this is a photo of my substrate now:


the humidity here is usually very high, about 47%-67%, now after misting it goes up to 99%-100% (which is awesome) i fan for like 45 mins - 2 hours at once, even if i fanned more than three times a day, i may find the humidity 99%-100%, which is still awesome, my question is, since i'm using a classic-style fan screwed on the ceiling, i put it to max which is "3" and still the humidity may not decrease at all or it can just decrease very slightly. my SGFC isn't very close to the wall, its about 7-8" away from the wall.

this is a photo of my SGFC now:


that why i wonder "Doesn't that mean that i don't have good FAE?", knowing that my room has an air-conditioner is always on and set on 22-23-5C max, so it should be all good, i have no condensation, the water drops on the wall of the chamber evaporate normally, but the humidity stays constant, i use a SGFC thats elevated about 4-5"

this is a photo from inside the chamber:


IMPORTANT NOTE: i -mistakenly- made way more holes than i should when i first built my SGFC so i struggled with rapid evaporation and low humidity, but i fixed temporarily this by covering up a lot of the holes and it as i described above.

so my questions are:

Q1: am i on the right path or any need any modifications? i mist the tray once a day, and it gets some of the drops that fall while misting,

Q2: do i need to mist it more, the tray has no holes for drainage, and i used a garbage bag inside the tray before spawning, is that okay?

Q3: do i need to fan 24/7, i keep my light 24/7 as i don't have a timer and i don't want to mess with the light schedule,

Q4: is what i'm doing to get FAE good enough? (please don't advise me to build a new SGFC, i will definitely do that on my next grow, but now i'm too busy and i can't)


Thanks for taking the time to read my essay :smile: i'm just worried and i hope it goes well, its my first bulk grow.

Mush love,

just keep an eye on it and mist as you feel is needed, a fan is not needed ata ll and lighting should be roughly 12/12

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

I'm tired do me a favor

so should i stop using fan since the AC is on? and should i change the light schedule now? or just leave it? and if so, do i do it right away or gradually?
