PMP heater question
    #7575062 - 10/30/07 12:08 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I want to heat my PMP with a fish tank heater. Looking at the teks it seems this is done by having 2 inches or so of water in the bottom of the container then pour in the perlite/lava rocks. After trying this I realized it doesn't work because the perlite floats but it pushed down by the weight of the casings so they end up in the water.

I tried removing all the water so it's just damp perlite. But I'm worried this will break the heater if I turn it on because there won't be enough water. And the bubble wands won't have any water to bubble through.

What am I doing wrong here?

a heater will make it condensate like a MF but they have elements that will shut off when the temp is achieved so they should b fine.

...which does not mean it'll work.

Why is it that you're heating your fruiting chamber?

because ambient temp in the room is around 50F

I tried having a very shallow water level (just enough to cover the heater) which work better. The bubble wands work ok, the upper layer of perlite isn't too wet, holds the weight of the casings and the temp is 74F. BUT although there is condensation, the RH hasn't changed at all! Stuck on 48%.
