My new FC
    #25868548 -

What we have here, is a 5 gallon bucket with an induction blower out of an old furnace mounted on top. The power to the blower passes through a current limiting variable speed switch, which allows me to dial in the airflow I desire. Wired inside the bucket is a Vevor 5 head ultrasonic mist maker, which generates copious amounts of water vapor. Plumbed with 2" PVC inside of a Vivosun grow tent.


I have a Kingbo 50 watt LED grow light that cycles on a timer four times a day.


Inside the grow tent is a the frame of a regular greenhouse I had laying around. Mounted upside down on the bottom rack is a 150 watt radiant heating panel that is intended to evaporate any water that pools in the bottom of the tent. On top of that is a regular 200 watt ceramic space heater with my original ultrasonic humidifier.


I'm currently only fruiting a handful of cakes, but I've got a couple of monotubs w/ an additional 10 quarts of rye grain colonizing as I speak. The humidifiers and the ceramic heater are being controlled by an Inkbird temp/humidity contoller set to maintain 72 degrees and 90-95% humidity. The induction fan does the job of providing all the FAE I need. So literally, all I have to do is keep the water topped off in the humidifiers, and the automation takes care of the rest.

So much money. Love the enthusiasm though. Hopefully you grow enough to make it worth it. Could’ve saved quite a bit by using some shower curtains and pvc shelving IMO.

To be fair, he could probably modify into a better FC. Change the light to pure white or blue-spectrum light, put cakes closer together, have varying amounts of humidifying.

The light was listed as 6000-6500K. And the FC isn't intend for cakes, I just started off with cakes and now I'm waiting for some tubs to be ready before I put them in there. I don't claim to be a pro, see any meaningful insight is appreciated.

The humidifier is being controlled by a humidistat. It cycles on a differential of 5%, which I can modify.
