Cappa's FC. *Pics*
    #5374750 - 03/07/06 03:34 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

First I'd like to thank Agar for the idea. It was weird when he suggested it because I just happened to have a dead freezer I had been dreading hauling to the dump.
Anyways, without further ado:

Overall view:


Control center:


Fan controller and fan setup:




I'm still working on timing vs. fan RPM etc. I have 10-14 days to get it right! Then my casings will be ready for some FC lovin!

Nice job!

I would be scared of all that open metal electrical wiring with high humdity, just in case of dripping. But if you play the cards right, I wouldn't see a problem.

Good luck!

Thanks!

Once I'm satisfied with it I will be siliconing or replacing the wire nuts with something, isolating the power strip from moisture, zip tying all cords completely out of the way, and a few other finalizations..

Looks pretty cool.

However, it is pretty funny what people on this site come up with as fruiting chambers with humidifiers, gauges, and laser beams (ok, not laser beams) and such when all you need is a rubbermaid tub and some large casings and a place near a window to stash it.  :eek: :crazy2:

Where's the fun in that? It's not an experiment until you have blead on it and blinded yourself with lasers!

At present, I simply use a ultra-hummer for fog/Rh & another small evaporative hummer next to it, which has a good fan to spread the fog/Rh all over the FC, when the ultra/hummer is running & a coolmist PVC piped in for FAE.



No heating, as lights on a 12/12 off/on cycle heat it PERFECTLY.


I use a Taylor brand Mason's hygrometer to monitor Rh.

Well then I guess it's not a complete 'agar clone' FC.  :smile:

My particular build has stealth in mind. External devices piped into the FC would draw attention. I PM'd you a question about FAE, I'll post it here.

What are everyone's thoughts on constant FAE(via coolmist or the like) vs. timed FAE(as in 5 minutes FAE+humidity every couple of hours)? Has anyone experimented with both styles? What were your results?
In other words: Is constant FAE more desirable than the occasional complete air exchange and reconditioning of said air?

With FAE, either way works.

You just don't want a stiff breeze, or WIND through the FC.

Just a very gentle flow.
