You are correct on a lot of points. But I don't want to type that much to go into it. If he was exchanging air 6 times an hour he would never keep the humidity at proper levels. You can lower the number of air exchanges with a circulation fan and the fan will keep the humidity the same everywhere in the tent instead of having higher humidity at the top of the tent. Oysters do not require constant fresh air they just require the air to not be stagnant. Of course, if you can have constant fresh air and keep the humidity up that is what you want to do. I told him earlier in this thread the same thing you are saying about slowing down the fan (I think you said to use a smaller fan) I told him to lay a board on the intake to slow it down to get denser fog. I am trying to help him without it costing him an arm and a leg. When I had a tent like this I either had to do 6 or 7 exchanges an hour (mister couldn't keep up at that rate) or use a circulation fan. With the fan, I could cut it down to 3 per hour. I have been running a 10 x 5 x 7 room for about a year now. So there may be some things I forgot and any insight you can help out with is welcome. I am not trying to sound like I know it all, I certainly do not. But I do know what has worked for me. I think this came from my tent my fruits are now as big as dinner plates...

I like the sterlite tub you have there instead of the bucket. I'm sure I wouldn't need to fill that as often. To be honest, I'm probably going to just build another humidification bucket, maybe with a tub like you have. I have another single disc fogger, I could just by another float, and I have room in there for the two of them in a tub like that, which would be the cheaper option. Or buy a 3 disc fogger. I'm betting even with a second fogger, having a smaller fan... say 35cfm instead of 90 would be beneficial. Right?
I have metal connection on the lid, they're just covered with gorilla tape... I wasn't going for pretty. Maybe on the next one.

Right on man. I'm always open to learning more about cultivation, and different ways of doing things. Thanks for further expanding on your methods and reasonings behind those methods. I look forward to building my next green house and testing the various methods of providing ideal conditions. I will definitely keep this discussion in mind when doing so. Btw that is a beautiful oyster pic!

Thanks for the compliment on the oyster fruit. I am getting fruits over twice as big now. I also am getting over 125% BE so I am happy with that and I am not changing anything.
IM me and give me your post if you make one on the methods of fruiting conditions. I may get some insight. Check this out if you get a chance it may help you in the future if you decide to go bigger although it would probably work in a tent with modifications.
