An Amatures guide to Epiweb

[Magnus A]

Hi

I have seen that alot of peaple have problem with Epiweb so I decided to write this "guide".

I grow on Epiweb in high humidity, above 70 % RH.
Epiweb do not absorb water! Very important to remember! When soaked, droplets of water stay in the voids of the material and slowly eveporates. If lightly sprayed, the water stay on the outside or penetrate very poorly. Therefore I try to soak the slabs by "dipping" everything in a bucket of water ones a week.

What will happend? The water droplets is spread throughout the slab. This mean that the relative humidity will be higher inside the slab than outside when the water evaporates. I sometimes lower the humidity in the orchidarium to below 60 %. This give the roots a reason to shoot inte the Epiweb were the humidity is much higher!

Look at the pictures below for my results!











I will be happy to answear any questions!
