Dont stress - a few squirts and waving the lid once or twice, often - is better than soaking everything and then fanning out all the moisture once a day.

Man... I remember Tootsie Pop, she was a little hottie.  Took about 5 licks to get to her "center".

Fanning only need be 20-30sec in duration misting can be anywhere from a couple of squirts to a half a dozen it all depends of your setups FAE properties and how often you maintain things. A shotgun FC needs minimal attention so anywhere within those parameters should work. If cakes are staying wet cut down the number of squirts while maintaining the same duration of fanning. If you are over misting then you may have to fan without misting but try to get the balance dialed in ASAP. GL

Im not saying you have to overdo it, but i wouldn't be worried about misting to much.  If you think you misted to much and everythings soaked, then fan harder and longer that time.

:gethigh:



Sounds kind of hap hazard to me near saturation is what we want. You can really mess up a developing pinset that way also so just be careful. I think you are missing the point about consistency and a good technique. You of course can do whatever you like especially if you don't mind chasing your moisture content around all the time. GL with that gethigh

Yeah and you're missing something important. The cakes/substrates need to loose water in order to develop. With this method they're always soaked. Not good. Apart from not being good for development some contams just love it.

Just depends on your setup.
