FAE + PF-Tek question
    #7793614 - 12/23/07 07:50 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

i looked in the FAQ's but couldnt really find an answer really specific, unless i overlooked or something. anyways i know your supposed to fan pf tek containers, but would more FAE help it. and if so how would i make this possible? like a pump?

ya fae helps, but constant fae is unnecessary and probably negatively affect the humidity in the fc..

just fan a couple times a day or set up an automated system if you dont have the time/opportunity to do that..

Are you talking about pf tek cakes that are colinised?? or are they in your fruiting chamber??

If your talking about pf tek jars that are colinising, they dont need FAE, just gas exhcange which the inoc holes will provide plenty of.

For a fruiting chamber, you want to exchange air quickly so as to not dry the air out. 6 times a day is good, just keep an eye out for your humidity dropping and not recovering fast.

Usually misting beforehand helps, plus misting before fanning any water that might have landed on any growing mushrooms should evaporite.

Give your FC a good brisk fanning out for 10 seconds,, 6 times a day should be plenty.

Drill a bunch of holes in the terrarium for constant air exchange. You don't need mechanical means.

i drilled holes but i dont understand how the holes will help air flow. should i still fan even though there are holes?

Yes, you can fan if you wish - do so after you mist them, which will provide FAE as well as evaporation which is important for pin formation.

Holes in the container will provide airflow due to convection.  There are natural temperature gradients in just about any air, which causes the air to move.  It's not a breeze you can feel, but the air molecules will still exchange fresh oxygen.

Think of your house - if this didn't happen, we'd all suffocate when we closed the windows and doors. :biggrin:

Sure. For more information, look up convection on wikipedia.
