perlite help
    #7522139 - 10/16/07 06:06 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

hey all,

i was having problems getting humidity over 85% and therefore im getting very small shrooms, basically, i have put my perlite in the ovan atm drying out, ags mark 4, so when that is dry what do i do, people say add 1/4 - 1/2 of water,hows that? put dry perlite int he bottom of the plastic tub then add 1/4 inch water?

should there be a water line visable through the plastic tub?

sorry for questions it is my first grow, even though its going very well and im pleased, im just nopt happy bout rh

why do we have tolerance? because mother nature created us and shrooms, and she decides when we can see into other realms! and by the sounds of it that one every 2 weeks!

Usually the best way is to put your perlite in a strainer and rinse with plenty of water, let the excess drain and line your fruiting chamber with 3-4 inches of wet perlite, then ad a thin layer of dry perlite on top. Should keep humidity up.

Are they cakes? Are you dunking between flushes? Just other possible reasons.

I mist the fc as well, even when using perlite. Especially if it's low on perlite.
