Keeping cool in SGFC. AC safe?
    #23564203 - 08/21/16 08:51 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Peace. First time growing and I've birthed cakes and put em in a sgfc. Problem is, I live in the south. It's 98F always and inside gets up to the high 80s. There's no central ac in this tiny hotbox, only window units. By putting my FC DIRECTLY in front of the AC I can keep temp at 74. But doesn't that ruin my RH?

Also: had a digital hygrometer, it got wet and broke. Can't find a manual one but will purchase when found.

It just doesn't seem to be humid in there.

Hygrometers are useless you don't need to know the RH the best hygrometers are your eyes looking at your cakes.

Put the SGFC as far from the window unit as possible. 80F is fine for fruiting too

Thanks. Just trying to get the meaty plump fruits I see people getting. Also desperate to keep contams down since I've lost some good children to them.
