Martha hose setup
#4231580 - 05/28/05 08:48 PM (18 years, 8 months ago) |

I'm a newbie (actually about fire up the pressure cooker for the first time and get going tonight). I'm pretty much following the PF tek right now so I can get some experience but my main goal is to do casings in the future.
I have pretty much everything for the Martha setup except the Coolmist and an ultrasonic humidifier. I'm waiting on those because I can't seem to figure out how the hoses should be attatched to them. I've looked at Magash's pictures and I can't figure it out from them.
Does anyone have a Martha setup that could give me some good pictures of how the hoses are attatched to the ultrasonic and coolmist? Is there a certain ultrasonic that I should use for this?Also are there any suggestions/pictures as to a shelving system that will work in the closet?
I've been reading the forums for a few months doing my homework on this stuff but I haven't really talked to you guys yet. That said thanks in advance for any help you can give

My connection is super slow right now, so I cant provide pics, but...
I go with vics ultrasonic, and vics cool mist.
Tape off the main mist exaust on the cool mist, and cut/drill a hole to fit a pvc pipe(or whetever you want your hose to connect to) in the top near the main mist exaust. this hose will be placed just below the hose from the ultrasonic.
With the ultrasonic, i just siliconed a small funnel to the top, and ran a hose off of that. Thus hose goes to the top of the cool mist.
I cut holes in the martha, and siliconed plexiglass(with 2 holes drilled for the hoses) right over it. Then push the hoses through, and silicone.
Make sure to test everything(humidity/temp/etc) before throwing the cakes/casings in there.
Good luck!

I had bought most of the stuff in October and hadn't read up on greenhouses yet (I'll probably give em a whirl in the future). But thanks a lot for the pics, it answered a lot of other questions I had.
So pretty much screw the vent they have on it and just make my own? That makes more sense but how would you cut a hole in the humidifier? I haven't checked on it myself but to me it seems like that plastic would be pretty thick and drilling would break it.
Dunno though

I use a Dremel. Trace a circle, drill a smaller hole and then open it up with a sanding drum.

Hey Hippie, I got some vinyl tubing from the depot. 1/2 inch inside diameter. What size is yours? I am thinking bigger is better for easier air/mist flow. What do you think?
This dremel and sanding drum...both gotten from Walmart, correct?

Found some GREAT flexible ring/ribbed tubing at True Value & Ace hardware - for under $1 a foot. Tough as steel, flexible enough to bend in circles & will not kink.
