bodhisatta said: The only fruiting chamber that has fanning as part of the instructions is the SGFC. And you fan during flushes. Not between. And fanning a sgfc is pointless anyway.
Something like a monotub is fully automatic. It gets air exchange by itself.
Can I ask a quick question - Simple, would you say that fanning increases FAE? Not implying it's recommended or ideal or even a good idea, but if somebody had a substrate in a tub suffering from low FAE, fanning would at least increase the FAE right?
I note that RR advocates for fanning, so sometimes I find it difficult to resolve the conflicting information out there.

That writeup is a decade or two old and 2 years is a looong time in this hobby when it comes to technical advancement, knowledge and insights. Cubes don't seem to be that thirsty for air, they're not like plants in any way, they're not so picky with light either and will grow normally in varying lighting and FAE rates ranging from minimal to extreme. (worth remembering is that FAE is most often used when describing the evaporation rates off the substrates, but in some cases its used to describe oxygen/co2 levels, there is a limit for how little oxygen is enough for healthy development of fruits, if you restrict oxygen too much your fruits will not look as happy.

The only reason you would need to fan is if you weren't getting enough fae so why wouldn't you just dial your tubs in to get that automatically?

FAE is basically just passive air exchange and it needs to occur continuously to be effective in aiding continuous and gradual evaporation off the substrate. Spontaneously blowing a bunch of fast moving air on the substrate a few times a day for a very short period of time isn't actually doing much if anything at all in terms of noticeable difference In evaporation rates or oxygen supply. Either there is sufficient/balanced FAE throughout the majority of the day or there isn't imo.

lol how would fanning not i keep hearing it dont work but no one is saying why the tub is constantly filling up w humid air and when u fan it out a few times a day u are refreshing the tub w fresh air like wind blowing in nature taking away all the humid air in the tub where the tub has to build back up to humid condition's there for it has room to evaporate even more every grower opens their tubs a few times a day any way when u open a lid the tub sucks in a lil air from the movement giving u the thought of i dont fan my tubs lol right well if u just bounce your lid a few times exchanging all the humid air in the tub
