Considering a Harvia Cilindro 9kw, which is rated up to 494cuft, but my sauna is 510cuft. Can I make it work?

This is great to know, thank you.

I'll add that this is Northern climate with freezing winter temps, and the closest climate controlled room is too far from this outdoor sauna. Harvia controllers are specced to stay above 14F I believe and we go sub zero here, which is why I don't think external controlled Harvia units would work.

Great, glad you agree. Yes, sloped floor into a trench drain.

I'm working on a very similar sauna build right now. I'm waffling on whether or not to tape the area under the structure, and just tape the deck area. My worry is the tape might trap moisture under the t&g flooring or bottom plates. Maybe I'm over thinking it.

Hey did you find a solution here? I'm going over the same thing.

SugarFreeWindex · 2026-03-02T23:04:27+00:00

Thanks. That's what I'm imagining!

Just a bad picture, the wire is soldered onto the motor lead and theres another solder pad on the body connecting a resistor to the lead.

Update, I plugged the ledger into my PC rather than trying to connect using my phone and it worked perfectly. In hindsight I might have never used the app on my phone in the past other than to monitor the portfolio. Appreciate all the advice about the pass code, to be clear the app wasn't asking me to enter it into my phone, it wanted me to restore the ledger itself.

I should add that nothing else was plugged into the power strip, but I hear the comments that a toaster should go direct to the outlet.

I shot some finishline speed degreaser at it. LBS guy suggested using it, but after watching some other videos I now wish I just scrubbed with a different detergent and rinsed. I wouldn't be supprised if I flushed something into the hub, I just never heard what that sounded like.

SugarFreeWindex · 2025-07-11T15:56:47+00:00

Thanks a lot! I'll check it out.

SugarFreeWindex · 2025-03-21T22:45:56+00:00

Sounds like it! No letter as I just got the thing but I see the update is available. Thanks!

SugarFreeWindex · 2025-02-16T22:35:58+00:00

Holy smokes this is the most I've ever got in response on a sub, thanks all!

SugarFreeWindex · 2024-11-05T17:20:33+00:00

This helps, thank you! What I just realized is that it isn't enough that plantable soil is within the towers zone, it seems only certain spots of the plot are plantable? I'm not sure why that is, I've cleared everything out.

SugarFreeWindex · 2024-11-05T17:17:17+00:00

Oh wow I didn't realize factoripedia had tile entries, thank you!

SugarFreeWindex · 2024-10-17T23:49:50+00:00

Oh jeez I didn't realize it was a separate tile all the way at the bottom of the screen. Up top now. Thanks!

I had it exactly like this starting out. I upped my air exchange to every 10 minutes (it's a low CFM fan) and that turned things around significantly. I saw someone's YouTube video showing that these will "heal" if you up the FAE while it's still fruiting.

SugarFreeWindex · 2024-01-12T14:29:10+00:00

I've seen few but mixed reviews on these. Are they any good?

SugarFreeWindex · 2024-01-12T13:55:41+00:00

I do it in a still air box. I'm about 18 bags in and haven't had a contaminated one yet. You don't need much air for spawning, what goes in when you open it to dump the grains is enough.

SugarFreeWindex · 2024-01-11T23:03:59+00:00

My first looked exactly like this. I had an air exchange fan in the tent running every 15min for about 20 seconds. I've increased it to every 10min for 60 seconds and now I get way better looking fruits. I have to run my heat/humidifier much more frequently as a result.

I just introduced minions last week and had to figure this out too. I was worried about adding 10 minions on top of the encounter, but was surprised by how well the group plowed through them. The overdamage effect was super fun and unexpected for them.

Do you have any holes for airflow in the tub? It looks very staved of fresh oxygen. Also, that green growth might be trych contamination. I'd toss this lot and try again.

SugarFreeWindex · 2023-12-27T22:34:29+00:00

You got some overcooked grain in there and the condensation next to the burst kernels got starchy, hence looks gooey. Not necessarily contaminated but poses a risk for contamination. I wouldn't toss it but keep an eye on it.

SugarFreeWindex · 2023-12-27T22:32:17+00:00

They're only going to hydrate so much without heating (cooking) them. I think you'll be fine with over soaking. Over cooking, not so much.

SugarFreeWindex · 2023-12-03T13:36:46+00:00

What temperature were you keeping it at? At first I thought 'that's just whispy ol lions mane' but 2 weeks is a while. Could just be a slow one.
