Casing and FAE question
    #5707057 - 06/03/06 10:49 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

question: after i case and wait a few days before I put in fruiting chamber, can i leave the casing uncovered in the chamber after I misted it? I have an FAE constantly on and I am always working. Is this still optimal? I know they say casing takes attenance, so can anyone tell me?

keep it covered until your ready to fruit, you want that FAE as a trigger,
then when ready to fruit give it as much FAE as possible

ya, but my question is...is that optimal for casing. it says to be attentive--- spray and fan down constantly. that's what i am saying... i will prob. spray down once and have the FAE running all the time. any comments?

no man, my system is awesome. it is automated. Cool mist humidifier/ FAE and timed lighting, covered at all times. should be good enough right. the humidity is at 100%. it is just that casing requires more spraying..help

I suggest misting several times per day before fruiting begins.
Once the casing is in the fruiting chamber, it should be uncovered.
Always.
The misting and fanning create transpiration/evaporation from the casing layer.
100% humidity is too high for a casing.
You need your water on your casing to be evaporating into the FC. You are continually misting to replace that water that is evaporating and to keep your casing at near saturation.

I suggest lowering the humidity, you can do this with more FAE.
You can also put your humidifier on a timer.
Keep your eye on near saturation and keep your temp optimal.
hyphae has a great pinning strategy, you should check it out.

:thumbup:
Transpiration is very important to pinning success just not excessive. At 100% there is little to no evaporation occurring. GL
