    a bubbler should increase humidity not decrease it

    I would suggest bringing your FC inside the house rather than the shed if temps in the shed are going to be a problem

    a shed is going to also potentially increase your risk of contams unless its a fairly clean place

    that being said contams aren't really a problem once your cakes are colonised its very hard for any contams to take hold

    this is why airing out your FC is not a problem

    you also say you have a bug problem in there another reason to maybe stay away from the shed

    and a fan is most definitely not a good idea unless you are able to keep your humidity up while the fan runs

    which will be very difficult all the fan will do is decrease humidity and dry everything out

    unless your FC is absolutely huge like an entire room none of these things are necessary

    shotgun terrarium remove lid once a day and fan it out give it a mist with a spray bottle once or twice a day nothing to it

    Anybody heard of this looks like it could be ok
    any fans of trailer park boys might recognise this guy/girl hahaha

    I was confused as hell at first I thought maybe it was fake but it is a real documentary thats in the making
    just thought I'd share for anyone who might be interested :)

    not quite gonna cut it unfortunately miss meander it needs to be happening automatically

    so if I was going to try and mess around and see if i could learn some of this crazy electronics arduino stuff
    would something like one of these be good to buy to help learn how it all works

    I told ya myco, young ppl and this fkn arduino ;) offering to build shit easy like it's all an easy to follow recipe!

    Hey ace next time we catch up I want you to arduino me a remote entry thing for my front gate, I hate opening it haha

    hahaha I know electronics for me is like trying to read some kind of alien language

    I recently tried to see if I could figure out how to wire up a standalone crossfader for my turntables

    shit I felt pretty stupid once I started reading stuff and watching videos even with that help I had no clue hahaha

    thanks for all the help and ideas guys your certainly giving me alot to think about for my future greenhouse builds

    I might have to hit you up Ace

    the functions needed to be controlled would probably be fairly simple really (for someone who knows what they're doing)

    all I'd really be looking at controlling is humidity and temperature

    as darklight suggested the heat sensitive pneumatic roof vents was what I'd planned on using

    so really just something to help control humidity would be great

    I have always dreamed of having a greenhouse with full control via computer haha :P

    I might just drag this up again once I finally can build my big greenhouse

    been paying off our land for just over a year now its been one shitty fuken hell of a year but we'll be stickin a shed on there in jan
    and start building house not long after that once that sheds up though the greenhouses will begin ahhh finally :)

    hahah ok thanks guys well I've never even heard of the word arduino just had to check google :P

    I'm definitely not one to be messin around with electronics I wouldn't even know where to start haha

    its surprising there isnt more timers that can achieve this

    it would seem my best bet would be to try one of those analogue ones
    maybe give wert's idea go see what kinda sketchy shit I can rig up with a few different timers hopefully that will do what I need

    thanks for the help guys I'll give that a go

    Hey guys I have been trying to find a timer that can go on and off multiple times a day
    I really didn't think this would be all that difficult but its proving to be not such an easy thing to find

    I have managed to find one however its American so obviously not suitable for here in oz
    if anybody can help me out on this one it would be greatly appreciated

    P.S. I didn't know where to put this so I just put it here

    I scored this beautiful big ficus from the kerbside rubbish collection when I was up in perth back at the start of the year

    I chopped the top off it and half of its root system and got it all potted up in some fresh soil

    its coming back great now cant wait to do somethin with this gonna be a few years before I can get it into a pot and lookin nice has an awesome trunk on it :)
