??s Cool mist humidifier and FAE
    #3290645 - 10/28/04 05:31 PM (19 years, 3 months ago)

someone who isn't me is attempting to fruit a casing and needs some advice.
would a cool mist humidifier (on ~16 hrs/day) be able to provide enough fresh air exchange, without fanning, to properly fruit a casing in a 90QT rubber maid terrarium?
are there any other techniques (other than fanning)to provide sufficient FAE (?maybe poly fill holes)? and would the use of sodium hydroxide pellets (to reduce CO2 levels) be practical?

a cool mist would provide enough air xhange for a small room with a big hose, with a garden hose it would be sufficient for any size rubbermaid. co2 sinks to the bottom, so having your fresh air come in at the top and your air output w/ a tyvek or some sort of filter as close to the bottom as possible will get the co2 out.

how often (and at what frequency) would the cool mist need to be on to provide optimal fresh air exchange? would 16hr ON/8hrs OFF suffice? (maybe ON every other hour? or on 24/7)
would this also be optimal for the cultivation of Ps. Mexicana and/or Panaeolus Cyanescens?

get a humidity meter and play with it, 90-92% +-2. too much air xchange can dry out the casing. worry more about the humidity, the air xchange will take care of itself.
