FAE and humidity in a large grow room

#7053688 - 06/16/07 06:37 PM (19 years, 2 months ago)

I’ve been reading up on how to provide proper humidity and FAE to a FC, but I could still use some clarification…

So here it is:

My FC is 8’ x 6’6” x 2’9”. I have a cool mist humidifier that I’ve attached to a hose which goes into the chamber. I also have an ultrasonic humidifier in a small bucket inside the chamber. I was going to run the cool mist 24/7 and the ultrasonic somewhere around a half hour on/half hour off (really not sure about time intervals). Aside from that, I figured I’d have to open the closet door and fan frequently, but it’d be great if I could avoid having to do that (so often at least).

My questions:

1. Agar wrote about using an ultrasonic. I think he said to put it into some sort of bucket (on a buoy?) and attach PVC pipe for the mist to go through. Here’s one of his posts: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5328995#Post5328995
I didn’t quite get it though. Why do that? Does the mist need to be funneled into certain parts of the FC? Does this act as and/or improve FAE?

2. Do I need to add a fan or a fish pump or something else to ensure good air exchange?

3. What time intervals should I use on my cool mist and ultrasonic (assuming I should be using both)?

4. What else can I do to get this system in top shape?

Thanks to all for any help! :eyemouth:

I run also an ultrasonic humidifier in a small bucket inside the Cheops chamber. Only during full moon I must be inside the Kings chamber though, because we attached a few PVC pipes - for the mist to go through - directly to the Nile. But, early morning mist, I might write, is the stuff that the spoiled shrooms like best. Said between us: They cant get enough of it.. LOL... Anyway, aside from that, we added a fish pump in oder to get some delicate and also very fresh Fruity del Nilo. ( A specialty from Egypt )

And now to your final question, what else can you do to maintain your genius system in top shape?

My answere is simple: We usually open the closet door and fan frequently, before our new friends come in.

Good shroom to you.... Best of luck to all and no pity for the poor
