FAE is not a problem at all with the cool mist at the bottom. The only problem tends to be that a lot of humidity will escape if your holes are too many/too large. As a result, I've closed up all the holes save for the one next to the cool mist intake. Really, a cool mist gets the air going so well that the real concern is over-drying due to FAE. Just went to check on my grow today to see a massive pinset turned into a massive flush of mostly-aborts, due to some problem with the humidification setup causing lots of flowing air but too little moisture. Had to pop the cap off the impeller to see if I could get it to suck more water into the air. Uh, but I digress. :smile:

Ope sounds like you got a ultra sonic.

I got my cool mist hosed up to my green house and its been going for months now.

I run it 24 7 and have to mist my casings now and then. Get some great flushes to.

I never use an ultrasonic but you don't need one to soak things,if you leave a coolmist running 24 hrs a day without the zippers at least halfway unzipped you will get water pooling in your casings:thumbdown:

I had cakes dry out last night with both my cool mist and my ultrasonic running at the same time in the greenhouse. I don't know what's making my closet so dry, it's insane! The reservoirs are both absolutely full, too. Gotta go check on them in a bit, see if they've improved.

Had some nice, big, fat mushrooms coming off that grow, and an absolutely beautiful pinset... lots of aborts, now, and a few survivors.

I had some flat plastic trays set up on the second shelf, meant to catch any falling shrooms (they do like to fall through the gaps into the perlite if I don't harvest them right away)... I'm thinking those might've caught a lot of the humid air and deflected it downward, while the dozen cakes on the top shelf simply dried out from the air exchange holes. Still, weird to see two humidifiers fail to keep cakes from getting bone-dry! I'll be sure to relate the cause of the problem, if I'm ever completely sure.

I use vicks 400's and if they run more than ten minutes, there's a flood. It sounds like you must have the wicking type, which are really not suited for mycology. A good impeller type coolmist will saturate a mini-greenhouse full of holes within minutes. I don't use ultrasonics, because the two coolmists sitting on the floor can easily provide upper 90% humidity in a greenhouse the size of three marthas.

I've got a cool mist with an impeller and another with a wick--that's what I meant to say earlier, not ultrasonic, but wick-based humidifier. The wick is my backup--I'm only running it in conjunction with the other.

I think my cool mist is busted. It's the only explanation I can come up with. It stopped working about three weeks ago, then, after being unplugged for a few days, started running again. All I can figure is that there's some problem with the impeller, and that the fan's still running, because my grow was bone-dry the other day. Before that, the cool mist alone was enough to keep the whole greenhouse saturated. Thinking I'll check on it again today before tossing it out.

Take the cone off the impeller and clean it. They get clogged up on the inside after a month or two. On the vicks, you can do a twist and pull, and the cone slides right off its backing plate.

Ahh, that's got to be it. I was noticing some calcification, but I couldn't figure out how to disassemble it. It's a Walgreens brand, but I'm sure I can get it apart with some fiddling. Thanks!

Ok So I put my cool mist in the green house and you are rite it drenched it all so fast!!!

Wow.

So I wanna hook up an entrance line and my timer is to complex for me to understand :flowstone:

It is a digital timer but it still spins and the control's on it make it so confusing, I wanna set it to RR time but I just can not figure it out.

buy it and put it in a greenhouse if you want, read man. There is also a search button at the top of the page.
