First Grow PF Cake Method (pics)

This is my first grow i just birthed these 2 cakes yesterday. i am using a box and dome that was given to me with a kit i bough that never worked out. i have more jars in and incubator that i will will be putting in as they fully colonize. my main problem right now is i have a old ass thermometer and humidity gage. and i don't know if they are correct but it says 80F and H 95% but i don't see any condensation on the dome. if you see any in the pics it is from me spraying the dome. i put perlite in a bowl and soaked in water then drained extra. i also have a bubbler as well i thought it would be over kill but now i am not to sure. anyone got any comments?

condensation does not mean anything really, just think of it like, a coke in the fridge doesn't have condensation untill you take it out, then the differences in temps (I.E it's cold on the side of the can) cause the moisture that is in the air to condense on the side of the can, and it doesn't even have to be humid!
So if your outer temp (your room) is less than your FC, then it might condense even if it's not got high humidity.
It should be fine with just perlite and the chamber, are there any holes in the chamber for FAE? that's probably the most important part.
good job though, looking good! Hope you get handfuls..

Did you dunk those cakes? If not, dunk them and roll in vermiculite; you'll be happy you did.

i did dunk the cakes for like 6 hours. i only did it for 6 hours because i was ready to get them in the terrarium (newby move) i did not roll them i don't have any vermiculite and i did not think to just use the extra in jar but i have 2 more dunking now that i will be rolling. and they will have been dunked for almost 24 hours. o yea and it is a bit cooler in my room then in the chamber yet no condensation but from what aspore was saying i am not to worried about it. and i see mycelium growing fast on the tops of the cakes.

i just noticed that the lids under the cakes have condensation forming on them. i forgot to ask should they be on the lids or do you think i will get more pins with them on the perlite? oh yea and sorry for shitty pics i am using my phone i will use my sister camera in the future.

if your placing them on the perlite, make sure you add diluted hydrogen peroxide to the perlite first.
if not, just cut out a square of aluminum foil and place the cakes on those

would the aluminum foil do anything different then having them on the lids of the jars? because i did not put peroxide in my perlite.

You want to get as much vermiculite as you can on them. The two in the lower right look pretty good, the others could use some more.
They're fine though; they'll fruit well probably.

I am a newb but I read somewhere that you should wait until 100% and then give it another week after that just to let it fully colonize internally, if I were you, I would wait.

i thought it would increase humidity and air flow. but i took out the glass but i have the pump still pumping in air for min co2 build up. so the colonization has been stop for a few days maybe longer any suggestions? because i don't think waiting will do much of anything
