Is wet perlite enough??
    #5826340 - 07/06/06 01:58 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Is wet perlite (After soaked and drained through a strainer) good enough to keep the humidity level where it needs to be or Should I still spray 3-4 times a day. I have read some teks saying yes and others that say no. I would like an opinion of someone w/ experience. I know fanning is a must and I know all about dunking.

gonna want to spray it twice a day for sure.

fanning is not so needed if you can have filtered air holes via polyfill or filter patches on the sides of your fruiting chamber

What kind of filter patches? I've never heard of those. Can I just cut some holes in the side and patch them with coffee filters?

the coffee filters thing should work well enough. As far as what kind of filter patches, really these are only used on bag...otherwise it just makes more sense to freakin` cut a hole and duct-tape over it with a coffee filter or stuff it with fiberfill, as shwip said.
