Yeah, in my limited (but successful) experience, the human eye is all you need to judge humidity.  Just make sure the walls are dripping with condensation and the lid is collecting some condensation as well.  That's 100% RH.  Also, your cakes had condensation on them, so there's more than enough H2O around.

Also, when you dunk the cakes, get the tallest pot or vase you can find, then use a place or glass to hold the cakes on the bottom.  The pressure will force water in.

I've heard this too about condensation, mostly from older teks. I've also heard though that you do not want condensation:

yes, that is true.  People generally try to avoid actual visible droplets on the cakes, which are probably coming from over-misting (not from too high RH).

Just keep a good 3" of soaking wet perlite, fan frequently, mist occasionally.  Keep by a window for light.

i've reached the end of the 1st flush.
limited results.  a few caps to write home about.
this is the latest.  crunchy cheeto looking shroom:


the cap was eaten away on top.  i don't understand it.
possible mutation?


i've been getting a lot of aborts.  and i suspect this action to be bluing from too much moisture.  opinions?


the dark semi-circle in the top left of cake is from a spore drop.
what a fucking mess.

yep to much moisture will casue mushrooms to look like that, and cause aborts. When you mist you have to fan off access water on fruits. Bruising usually happens whaen cake dries out or after you pick off fruits. Or if you handle that area you could have also bruised myc.
