wax paper and fanning
    #7497365 - 10/08/07 12:23 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

if a coolmist is hooked up to provide fae in a gh, would someone need to fan anyways if using wax paper on top of their casings?

no.

wax paper is there to hold in co2 and humidity, while allowing
light to penetrate it. it serves as a casing of sorts.

if you fanned it, the humidity and co2 built up by the wax paper
would dissipate, making it near worthless.

just leave the wax paper there, changing it out every few days
as it gets soggy, until pins form and push the wax paper out of the way.

the coolmist is providing enough FAE for you.

I think the actual question here is really if your cool-mist is providing enough FAE for the green house in general and, if not, then yes you would need to fan additionally.

The crumbled and crinkled (several times) wax paper over the tops of the casings is just a little extra humidy blanket for the casing layer and while it might shield the casing from the drying effects of the fresh air being pumped in, unless it's forming a seal over your tray, it wont interfere with air flow...
