PF Tek SGFC question * 1
    #28008670 - 10/21/22 01:55 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

I posted this question elsewhere but not sure if it was in the correct place... Sorry my web skills are more nature based then digital ๐ŸŒณ

I'm starting off my 1st home grow with PF tek but have concerns about the ambient temps in my house. The best room for my fruiting chamber (SGFC) is furthest from my singular heat source (split mini heat pump) but holds the most consistent temp stability and least air turbulence, The average temp in that room though is only +/- 64ยฐf . Would adding a heat pad or heat belt ( like a carboy heat belt for beer brewing) to the top of the SGFC provide adequate temp while still allowing gas exchange or should I consider using an incandescent light source instead of florescent/led as extra heat?  I have another room that holds a little warmer as a potential but it fluctuates temps more drastically due to it location/usage, I've tracked it's range from 65-78ยฐ...

Usually we recommend around room temperature, 70F.

65 to 70 is also fine.

Do not add a heating pad, heat the room not the fruiting chamber.

I would not use an incandescent bulb.

5000k to 7000k is the color temperature you want for light.

If the shotgun fruiting chamber was built properly, which means quarter inch holes every two inches in a grid pattern on all sides and is filled with four to five inches of soaked perlite, he's in the middle of a room with no fans raised off of whatever surface it's on a few inches so ambient air can pass up through it, it should work just fine for you.

The cakes produce heat which rises, this rising heat pulls the old air out of the chamber through the top pulling fresh air in through the bottom up through the perlite humidifying the chamber. This is how a shotgun fruiting chamber works.

Welcome To Shroomery! :mushroom2:

Before you build a SGFC, read about water tube. See Water Tub Tek for fruiting BRF cakes.

if this is how it works wouldnt it be good to just put holes on the bottom and on the lid?

hereโ€™s another way to fruit cakes

but the water tub is sick too. both easier than the effort of making & maintaining a SGFC & you wonโ€™t end up with a useless tub full of holes when/if you decide to graduate past PF tek.

What PussyFart said โ˜๏ธ

U want ambient heat, not direct heat. A small space heater works well. The ideal target temp is between 68F to around 76F.
