Misting and Fanning The SGFC (and other newbie questions about it)
    #27013287 - 10/31/20 05:03 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all!
Apparently, how I post is at 4 am. I’m meant to use psychedelics. I’d rather be tripping balls at 4am than straight. Anyway, let’s talk about the SGFC!
Since this is my first grow ever I am simply going with a SGFC for my 5 (10 if the others colonize) BRF cakes. I’ve got two that have about a week and a half to two weeks to go until fruiting so I’m building the SGFC this weekend to save me time during election week so I can have time for my mental health.
What size bin do you recommend? I’m not sure the exact amount of gallons my bin is right now, but it’s not one of the huge 60 qt ones, probably around a 40 qt if I had to guess. Do I need something smaller if I’m only doing 5 cakes? I’ve heard a larger one with less cakes is bad for FAE.
I’m soaking my perlite in a 1/10 solution of H202 and water. This is just as a precaution. Any worries here?
Speaking of FAE, I have heard that fanning is outdated and we should be just misting over the cakes until they glisten 3-4 times a day, and the holes themselves around 6 sides should provide plenty of FAE. Is this true, or do you all fan your SGFC’s still?
What do you all recommend for raising my SGFC for air exchange below?
And lastly, what is the optimal temperature for fruiting? My colonization has been at 78 degrees almost consistently (I’ve heard my strain Amazonian likes the heat a bit more).
Thanks everyone for your answers and insight!
Cheers!

A last question to add:
Analog hygrometer or a digital one? Does it matter?
Thanks!
