Humidifier
    #6366197 - 12/13/06 02:00 PM (17 years, 3 months ago)

Well, I think I have become pretty familiar with the basics of mushroom cultivation. For my next grow, I would like to use a humidifier. I will be using cakes as well.

*Should my terrarium be bigger than usual?
*Do I run the humidifier all day?
*Do I still use perlite?
*How often should I open the lid for air exchange?
*What's the best way to connect the humidifier to the terrarium?

-Thanks : )

*Should my terrarium be bigger than usual?
not really, depends on the out put of the humidifier

*Do I run the humidifier all day?
NO, unless thats what it takes to keep the RH up lol
do some test runs, usully they;re run for like 5mins every 1/2-1 hr
but if you are using a smaller terer then im sure youd use less time

*Do I still use perlite?
you can for a good measure, this will also help to catch the buildup from the humid


*How often should I open the lid for air exchange?
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! esp if you are using a humidifier, you can rig some air stones under the peralite to HELP but this will NOT DO IT FOR YOU. but ya myc LOVES fresh air exchange so give it as much as possible BUT make sure the humidity gos right back up [helps to do it right before a humidifier cycle, or just mist with a spray with a bottle after]

*What's the best way to connect the humidifier to the terrarium?

block off the output to the humidifier and connect a large hose. with the end that gos in well that depends on what kind of ter you have. if you have a solid lid id cay just connect right to the middle, or you can attach it to the side as long as its not like blowing right on whatever you have in there

another tip is to make sure to have the humidifier lower than your fruiting chamber. the reason for this is so when condensation builds up in the hose it will run back into the humidifier and not into your chamber
