So here are some pics of what Ive got going on. I built a humidifier and piped it in with PVC. The humidifier is a bubble stone 24/7 and a ultra sonic running on a timer. Its running 15 on and 1 hour 15 mins off. Keeps the humidity at 83-99. A comp fan runs all the time.


And here's a picture of the martha with the humidifier on top of it..

Heres where I got into trouble. Put in 6 trays cased rye with 50/50 pet/verm+lime. 2 fell early to cobweb. Could have fought it but this is my first big grow like this so I just tossed them. Still have 4 going good. I was misting about twice a day but yesterday i noticed that they were way to dry and shrinking more then they should before first flush. I think I let it go to far but...I poured water into the tray till they were floating. Let sit for 2 hours. Drained, misted placed back into the chamber. They were looking good and saturated. This morning Ive got knots but im still worried about the casing drying out so fast. I want to stop that.
Is there anything I could change or something to help the casing stay moist? Mist more? More ultra sonic? How much ultra sonic is too much? Any and all advise is more then welcome. Thanks.

you're gonna need a cool mist. that bubble stone isn't doing shit for a martha setup like that. your RH is probably waaaaaaaaaaaaaay low. hook up a cool mist running 24/7, that should help

computer fans and moisture don't mix. it will short out eventually.
that setup is interesting in theory though. id take that ultrasonic and drop it into a bucket. stick a cage blower on that sucker and hook it up:


you already have the pvc pipe and the FC

it has a 24vdc dimmer on it, i can control it. at high speeds it would blow the lid right off the bucket.
its also on a 1 hour off 1/2 hour on timer.
i want to figure out a way to make it interchangeable with a flowhood. someday hehe.

The only way of having too much fresh air is.. well you cant. In nature mushrooms grow with 100%. If you can uptain 100% efficenty in your fresh air exchange.. while hold your 90% RH. you are in theory god, or mother nature. When you see different grows you can tell when they are oxygen starved or not.

Yah, I was just looking at the cage fan on that bucket. Cinda looked like it could pressure wash the casing layer right off a tub.  Dimmer... aaah hah!!
