Hey fractal want to ask you summink, you GH set up, how many litres/hour is your air pump and the wattage of the ultrasonic fogger?
the airpump is 3.5lt per min @ 4w and the fogger i dunno, its the cheapest number i could find came from hong kong ebay.
Its quite unscentific my GH setup, i cut little slits all over the plastic, it stands in a half outside walkthrough so it must get fresh air coming from outside, the timer is on about 8 times a day for 15mins.Like I say it seems to work so i never bothered tweaking it.i.e seperate timers for the fogger and air pump, so you can finely tune the humidity and air flow.
Heres some kings from today, still fruiting nice and temps at night going down to 45 F . kewl.

Hey man from what I've heard/read about the P. Nebro is the king of kings oyster mushroom.
I also made some shiitake bags last night. Fingers crossed that they work out for us.

I've got stones of both of those mt's growing. I didn't think that they were going to take off at first and that I had the rye too dry. Ended up injecting 10ml water in each jar and they took off. Thinking about busting them out the jars for halloweenie.

Absolutely, sir, I reckon it's about time! I'll trawl through the thread and see what new lovelies I can spot-feel free to me anything you think definitely needs a mention.

Baffcat on ebay has 8% off on a lot of things right now.
I think he should be mentioned in the first if for nothing else, these 30ml pp5 plastic tubes that are perfect for slants, good find Badman.

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy some jars. I'm not too happy about my lids going rusty. Any one know of a better deal than this?
I saw some Kilner jars in Wikinsons for £2 the other day hope they knock the price down in the sale.

Those jars were too tall once you raised them of the bottom of the cooker. The jars I saw in Wilkys I'm guessing are seasonal stock, not seen them in there before so with a bit of luck they might drop the price in a few weeks.
I'm just not happy with my lids getting rusty holes after one use.Would that still happen with proper jars you think?

I've seen the 1L kilners in my wilkys all year so dont think they are seasonal, might be though 
I think all will rust, bet if you do a search you'll know for sure.
There is no problem with rust though.
I love those 750g dolmio jars man. I hate the 440g asda curry jars, but for 9p you cant complain can you?

I got those jars and they arrived in 36 hours. They are the cheapest I've found by quite a bit. They're good and solid and perfect in my cooker.
