    #5630170 - 05/14/06 09:10 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

i have my cakes in a FC and the temp gauge reads 85 degrees and 95 humidty does that sound ok...

Also i put two holes about the size of dimes on the lid of fc and i have bubble wands and a pump that i leave in 24/7.. Are those holes big enough or should they be bigger

thanks

Yep low to mid 70's optimally.

it seems the best way of accomplishing a temp drop during the summer other than the obvious investment of an a/c, is to freeze jugs of water and alternate them during the day. Sounds tedious, but a 2L bottle of frozen water kept my greenhouse in the 70's for several hours

Lay a wet towel over the tub. As the water evaporates, it will draw heat away. You can also freeze several old milk jugs full of water, then rotate them so a frozen one is always in the FC.

You might put a couple more holes that size in the sides. The more air exchange the better as long as you can maintain humidity.
