Need help with a modification to my FC
    #7608453 - 11/07/07 07:19 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I know your supposed to keep your fc airtight but I was wondering if it would be beneficial to add some monotub style holes in my fc because I dont have the time to do FAE as much as I need and its already pretty cramped in there as it is, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What do you do for FAE?

I use a pump and was thinking I would try putting 2 mono tube style holes.

In my humble opinion your fruiting chamber should be ANYTHING BUT air tight. the more fresh-air you exchange and the faster you to it the less contaminations you'll have - without question. Also, the fruits require fresh, oxygenated air to grow and a lack of O2 will cause aborts, stringy deformities and other piss poor performing fruits.

My fruiting chamber completely exchanges all of the air within the greenhouse every 3-5 minutes using a blower fan @ 25CFM... fresh air is key for that species.

Just open it, up circulate the air, mist if needed and close it up again, doesnt get much simpler, the thing is I leave the house at 6:15am and get back at 3:30pm, thats nine hours without FAE which clearly negatively affected my first flush.

Thanks mycocurious, I just cut a hole right above the perlite layer and taped a filter over it to let the carbon poor out and to oxygenize the air in the chamber ill add some peroxide to the perlite every day or so.

According to other posts here in the forum CO2 doesn't pour. I haven't done tests mind you, just repeating what I've heard. You still might want a fan blowing across the filter or holes.

It's worked like a charm for me in the past...
