Do I need to do anything extra with my FC?
    #7685354 - 11/27/07 10:20 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I've made a fruiting chamber about 4' wide 3.5' tall and 1' deep. Completely sealed except for a small hole near the bottom to let air out. Sterilized it from top to bottom.

I've been running a constant Cool Mist for fresh air in near the top and an Ultrasonic near the top for humidity.

I haven't put the Ultrasonic on a timer, if I get too much condensation I'll add a timer. But it seems to be fine so far on the lowest setting.

It's been running for about 24hrs now and I'm getting a steady 99% humidity and 75F.

I have a 17watt fluorescent running 12/12.

Right now I only have a bunch of PF cakes ready to dunk and roll.

Will I need to do anything besides occasionally refilling the humidifiers?

No spraying needed if I keep 99% humidity? Anything I should change?

99% of humidity is too high. Make it 92-95 and youre fine...

Hey buddy, with cakes you can't have too much humidity. I'd guess if you put those cakes in there after a dunk/roll, in a week you'll have something growing.

When you roll the cakes after dunking them for 12-24 hours, roll em in dry verm. Then every once and a while for the rest of that day, mist the cakes so that the verm picks up the moisture. The more the better. After that day, you won't need to mist. Just make sure that hole is providing the free air, if you are unsure, opening it up to fan it out a few times a day is not going to hurt it.

Alright, thanks guys. I'll put the ultrasonic on a timer to lower the humidity.

I forgot to mention that the cool mist is outside of the unit pumping in fresh outside air constantly and not just inside the FC circulating the air inside. The hole at the bottom is just to let the old air out. So I'm guessing I'll probably be fine with FAE.
