Questions about air pumps
#5662013 - 05/22/06 09:41 PM (17 years, 8 months ago) |

When using an air pump in your fruiting chamber, how does the air pump get rid or exchange the CO2 built up inside the FC? Wouldn't the air in the fruiting chamber just circulate around the FC since theres no other holes or opening in the fruiting chamber to be used so that the CO2 can escape
Also, when using an air pump, Do I leave it running all day or just an hour or two every day?

You should have your FC vented.
It depends on how you use it.
I keep mine on 24/7, just make sure your RH and temp are stable.
And that just takes practice with your equipment.
I like this one,

A little big for most needs.

Heres a picture of my air pump I purchased today at Pet Land for 30$. I never relized that this air pump had two ports that out-put air.

And if I left my air pump on 24/7 and my FC had vents, wouldn't the humidity level in my FC drop? Even when using perlite?

it will drop the RH, that's why you have to dial it in, find out what works
You might have to place it on a timer,
Or maybe you could use on hose for a air stone, and that can help with RH

Well the thing is every application will be different.
If your going to place it on a timer then you'll have to see what time intervals works, keeping the RH.
Maybe start for 15min every hour, and go from there. Timers can be easily obtain in hardware store Google it.
As far as the air stones just Google it, I dont know if it will help in your situation. But they can help to increase your RH and at pet stores.

Alrite,
And a question about the vents in the FC. Can I stick a coffee filter over the vents so that it reduces the chance of contams?
