Automatic FAE & Misting for SGFC question
    #24019095 - 01/18/17 03:37 AM (7 years, 12 days ago)

Hey all i have built fans that blow air out of the SGFC along with automatic misting via ultra sonic fogger.  Both are doing a good job of keeping the air exchanged and misting automatically.

I have a timer hooked up to both of these devices.  The timers allow a total of 10 daily events (with start and stop times), with one minute intervals.  I am currently using just one minute intervals, while adjusting the power output of the devices accordingly.

Here is what I have came up so far, it involves misting every 6 hours while providing 2 fannings between each misting.  This will make fanning occur every 3 hours.  I just started using this setup so im not sure how it is going to work out.  What do you think?

1)
Fan = 12:00am
Mist = 12:10am
Fan = 3:00am

2)
Fan = 6:00am
Mist = 6:10am
Fan = 9:00am

3)
Fan = 12:00pm
Mist = 12:10pm
Fan = 3:00pm

4)
Fan = 6:00pm
Mist = 6:10pm
Fan = 9:00pm

I  can still use up more timing intervals through out the day if i need to, as I can have up to 10 events for each daily.  Maybe I should always mist within 10 minutes after fanning?  Or not?

Do you have any better suggestions?

Try it and keep a close eye on the cakes to make sure they aren't getting too dry.  If they do, cut back on the fanning.  Make sure your automated misting gets the cakes glistening as is the case with manual misting.

You can't automate a sgfc. That's like automating a wind mill. Natural air currents do it for you. And you can't mist a predetermined amount of time. Its whenever the cakes need it. Not when your fogger clicks on.

Mist according to cakes surface conditions

Fan if you like doing unnecessary extra work...

Screw it. Op just buy a $30 green house and move all your fancy equipment in there that way it feels like its worth it. But it really isn't. Use sgfc correctly or dont fruit with that method.

An automated SGFC is less automated than it was built properly.
If you have time to brush your teeth you have time for a SGFC.

If you travel and can't be home to tend or mist ... sometimes a setup like that can be useful. If you're home, go with the traditional setup instead.

If you're not home that often, once every other day even. Then maybe don't grow them at home

Or do a monotub. Fuck sgfc and PF tek. Shit's needs way too much maintenance. We're talking about tiny half pint cakes, they need a replacement of water like all the time. Monos have so much mass they are good on water for a long time.

Totally agree that SGFC's suck not to mention they're insect magnets ... Much better choices and better small grow choices than PF Tek too.

I think it's good to teach new people how and when to mist, but if we're talking about bulk, misting a room of substrates twice a day gets so tiring.

In the case of noobs, and probably op too. The teaching of sgfc misting is something they really should be going through. Tho it's not impossible to do that without the SGFC. I learned to mist using monotubs right from the get go.

I just birthed some cakes for the first time in months last night and tending to them has been a breath of FA.
