ok this is my first fc but i have grow plenty off mushes before(intrivo oven bags ). There was a post a day or so ago about someone not being able to keep 99% RH in there FC. I am having the same problem, it is staying at 80 rh and that is on a analog meter not digital. I have wholes all through my FC (all six sides like your video RR)and 4-5 inches of perlite. I mist and fan about 6-8 times a day from 6 am to 11-12 am. I cant find a fan its, fucking winter what a weirdo looking for a fan in winter lol . Any ideas? If you need pics I can post but i'm not to sure about this FC thing. I might go back to my set it and for get it bags. I dont want this to be a complete wast of time I got about 80 shrooms growing off one shitty casing and don't want to wast them any input???? RR/raodkill. i did what you told the other guy, to avoid posting but it did not bring my RH up should I buy a bubbler??????????
temp about 72+ ish
lots of holes in FC
mist and fan at least 6-8 times in my day (more fanning then misting trying to avoid aborts )
plenty off natural light (just using there sun no fake light )

A couple of thoughts....
Perhaps your hygrometer is off. What kind are you using?
It sounds, to me, like you are fanning a bit much. With the number of holes you have in your FC I would say fanning 4-6 times a day is perfectly sufficient. You should also be misting every time you fan. The correct procedure when misting (i.e. indirectly, from the correct distance, etc.), is key and if followed you will have no problems in that regard.

yea. check you humidity meter. or ignore it as you are doing what seams to be right and see what happens. as you seam to be not able to use a humidifier? a bubbler is a great option. my advice on bubbler's is you should expect to find one under 40$ and search search search. find one that support for replacable ceramic discs can be bought. you will understand that when you search search search
edit: i am unclear here. you problem is humidity? or the iniabilty to buy a fan for fae?

RH has nothing to do with skinny mushrooms. If the RH is too low, they won't pin at all. It sounds like a substrate/strain issue.
Hygrometers are useless until they've been calibrated. Wrap that thing up in a damp towel for an hour, and then unwrap and adjust so it reads 99%, but as said, that isn't the cause of skinny mushrooms. Lack of light and/or poor substrate are the likely causes, provided they're getting enough fresh air. RR

You are fine, 85-92% is okay for casings, plus you are probably higher than 92 above the casing layer anyway.
Fluff up your perlite real good.
I like to mist with an ultra sonic for really fine drops to keep the casing layer moist but not to stress the pins too much.
If you have 100+ holes and are fanning then FAE is covered babe.
you can mist the sides of the FC to raise Rh.

first of all, this is a public forum, any questions you post should not be directed to certain individuals, if you would like to post questions to only certain individuals then please use the private message feature
secondly, your wife has nice boobs
thirdly, it sounds like you are doing everything right but I can tell you that the hygrometer you have is a piece of shit, i have the same one. its analog which is preferred but only because you can calibrate most analogs. so in order to trust the reading you definitely need to calibrate your hygrometer, i would do that before trying to alter the FC anymore. but also keep in mind that introducing more FAE will only decrease your Rh, it will not help your Rh unless the air coming in is more humid than the air in your FC which is obviously unlikely.
and again, just to reiterate... your wife has nice boobs
(dont take offense, purely a compliment to your fine tastes )
