you still need FAE, i dont know about constant though -- you can strip away the humidity if you do it too much.

why not spray inside using water? [dont spray the cakes directly]

That container seems waaay to big for just a few cakes, get something smaller the humidity should go up (I've kept 95% with perlite alone & spraying every 2-3 days)

The only reason you don't have humidity is because you have standing water in the perlite. Any standing water makes that part of the perlite useless, and you have water all the way to the top, so it may as well not even be there. Drill holes in the bottom of your terrarium to let the water out and watch your humidity go to 99%.

Then, get that polyfill or whatever it is out of the holes so air can exchange or you'll end up with contaminants. You want well drained perlite for humidity, and open holes or a loose lid for air exchange and you'll be fine.

You've made your terrarium way too complicated. For PF-tek cakes you need nothing more than the tub, the perlite, and the cakes.

Follow RR's advice and you will be golden, they still look good, except you forgot to roll in vermiculite and I hope you remembered to dunk.

Also, your cheap plastic hygrometer certainly isn't giving an accurate reading. Pick up a mechanical hygrometer from a cigar shop.

i drained and refilled the tub with perlite since then, but i drilled holes in the bottom to drain excess water anyways. (none drained out) then removed the polyfill and as far as size goes, those are only the first two cakes to finish colonizing. the other ones are going really slow.

i got this tub (3 of them) to accommodate future growth. im growing this first batch as a test run and to collect spores to start doing casings. i just wanted to start out pf style to get some bearing on the whole idea of it.
