Thanks, Prof. Pinhead. You must have known I was trying to figure out what to do with a fourpack of 6qt shoeboxes.

The grain prep is by another guy, Doc34. I do WBS about like RR does rye, only it goes faster because it's smaller.

Hey doc my msg's humidity is at like 50% how do I go about increasing this and since its been in fruiting some of the mycelium is yellow is this due to the low rh? Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm worried I'm going to lose the tub if I can't solve this soon.

If the RH is definitely that low, then there is too much air movement around your tub.
Are you running a fan nearby? Is it near an open window? These things are not meant for active air exchange.
You'll want to minimize air flow. At least, decrease the amount it is currently getting. The normal flow of air in a typical room is enough to provide adequate fresh air with shot-gun-type growing containers. Fans, drafty areas etc. will cause problems with humidity.

If you wet the block down until it is field capacity and then let it evaporate, humidity near the surface is 100%.

Oh, I can be quite obnoxious when the mood strikes.
I tried no-bagging, just to see. I'm back to bagging.

Doc thanks for your help, I knew NOTHING going in and I think my first attempt is doing well thus far...
Would have been quite different without this thread I'm afraid...

It shouldn't really have condensation. Wet it and let it dry.
OTOH, you're getting great pins so don't change anything!
