Cool mist for FAE and RH?
    #5629730 - 05/14/06 07:33 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Can u use a cool mist for FAE and RH in a rubber maid style pmp?
I'd have the cool mist tube coming in at the top of one side and holes with polyfill all around above substrate.



Thx alot :crazy: :mushroom2:

yes and no
i would only turn it on for about 1 min about 4 times a day
the 24/7 bit with a external cool mist wont hold the rh up enuff to run allday
i had bad luck with the coolmist filter getting green mold on it with in 2 weeks so i strip it of all water function and just use the fan to freshen the air

Coolmists always should be run with peroxided water as they will mold quickly without it (fact).

Yea, use peroxide in all cool mists, but the wick type humidifiers are the wrong ones. You need the ones with a spinning impeller, or you'll lose humidity, not gain it. A humidifier is overkill for a terrarium. Simply use perlite and leave the lid cracked a bit for air exchange.

it sounds like a good idea to follow the manufacturer recommended weekly vinegar purge as well, no?

how much peroxide is too much in a cool mist? A capful enough?

A couple of good glugs of 3% per fill works nicely.

Even with peroxide added to my water I still found I had to wash the base out at least once a week. That and the noise is what lead me to doing TUB grows.

But now I haven't been able to get the same pinsets in a tub as I could with smaller trays in a coolmist humidified green house....

My advice to shroomfoot
If it's possible, instead of buying a large rubbermaid tub, buy a small 3 tier greenhouse (will be about 30 bucks) and an impeller type coolmist (also about 30 bucks). Then some large glade containers (trays). Also a 24 hours cycle on/off timer. Before you leave walmart you should also pick up a food dehydrator, you will need it.

Learn how to make grain spawn, how to use horse poo, how to use peat based casings. (btw, all that info is in the link in my sig.)

Then set up the unit some place OTHER then your bedroom.

Maybe your not ready for all this quite yet but after playing around with a few other methods then trying this one, I think you will be quite happy with your results. Good luck.

all should look into this made by holmes. (bacteriostat)

just a capfull will do, and i haven't had any problems, keeps all kinds of bacteria out of my greenhouse, but will not kill off my FUCKING GNAT INFESTATION!!! (i hate em)

working on that individually, but look into this stuff... found at walmart next to the humidifiers
