Poly-fil for gas exchange?
    #5753216 - 06/15/06 11:19 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I read somewhere that it's not necessary to fan a fruiting chamber daily if you put a few decent sized holes in a fruiting chamber and stuff them with poly-fil. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Also, somewhat off the subject, is it necessary to mist cakes even when perlite humidification keeps the fruiting chamber at a pretty steady 98-100%?

Fanning is necessary for your FAE, because CO2 is heavier than air. (Which means that it will stay at the bottom of your FC)

And as far as the cakes go, dont mist them directly. Mist the sides of your FC instead. If you dunked the cakes prior to putting them in the FC, they should have plenty of moisture.

*EDIT* I guess it is okay to mist the cakes to keep them from drying out. Just dont mist the knots or you will have more aborts. (If you do just fan the cake to ensure there isnt standing water on them) Also another good technique is to spray up and let the mist fall onto the cakes. (Thanks RR)
