Misting Question
    #22304665 - 09/28/15 07:19 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I know, I know - another question from me(Sorry for so many questions). I just dunked and rolled my beautiful cakes on Saturday - I was wondering how often I should mist the tank? Keep in mind I have an air pump that is pumping air into the tank twice a day for an hour each time(by means of a hose inserted through a hole in the side). As of right now the condensation in the bin looks beautiful.

Condensation merely means theres a temp difference between the inside and outside of your tub, like when a cold drink sweats.

Mist when it needs it. I'm not going to answer any further cause you're using some kinda crazy air pump setup and I know nothing of it.

Get rid of the air pump. It serves no purpose. If you haven't already, build a proper SGFC. Click on the link in my signature for step by step instructions.
Check out this guide for info on when to mist. Mist when they look dry, start at 3 times a day and adjust as needed. Make sure no water is pooling on the cakes. Condensation doesn't = humidity. You only want high humidity at the surface level of your perlite. Fae is passive and your humidity should constantly fluctuate to induce pinning, prevent stagnant air, etc.

We do not grow in tanks.....we grow in fruiting chambers.

And I have no idea what your fruiting chamber looks like, so I cannot comment.

But you should be asking about how often to mist the cakes, not the chamber.

So basically what your saying by build a proper fruiting chamber is there's only one real way to do this and anyone who doesn't isn't doing it right?

Correct.
Who knows, there may be better methods discovered in the future , but, the ole pump in a terrarium is an ancient way of doing things.
SGFCs and monotubs are standard these days and they are WAY better. Fact.

I'm trying to learn here, not argue about fruiting chambers. I just wanted to know what to do about misting. It's too late now to make another setup - In the future I may but I have to work with what I have now.

Well, if you want honest opinions on your setup, post a pic.....it's really not that hard.

We need to see your current setup in order to give you any type of solid advice....

Hey no argument here. Just trying to be informative.
Mist lightly directly on cakes until they glisten and fan it quite a few times a day. The tank and perlite DO NOT have to be misted at all.
Its really hard to give you advice with your setup since FAE is SOOO important and your setup sounds like it has very little FAE.
Like PF says, pics please.

Well, the perlite gets misted reguardless every time you mist the cakes, so yea.

The perlite would dry up and become useless as wellif not misted, so yea.

Right. The point was to not mist perlite directly, which is what I have always read here (note, i personally do bulk, not cakes). I should have used the word "directly".
You would inadvertantly spray the perlite of course.:grin:

Good to know if I ever do cakes or something.
Side note, PF, your avatar makes me read everything you say with a mean, yelling tone of voice. I get a kick out of it sometimes when you sound nice in a post, but in my head it sounded like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman yelling the shit at me lol.

Very good, see, we can work with that.....follow the tek I linked you too.....it's not too late.

You want to drill 1/4" holes every 2 inches in a grid pattern on all 6 sides of the chamber....this means top and bottom....6 sides....but read thru the tek and watch the videos....

Get rid of the air pump and raise it off the floor, and whatever surface it's on so air can pass up thru the holes in the bottom and up thru the perlite.....

I am going to make you a professional cultivator yet dammit......
