?Humidity?
    #1182588 - 01/01/03 06:35 AM (21 years, 2 months ago)

These dam hydrometer you buy all seem to suck and it confuses me not knowing what the real humidity level is my terranium. I have 3 kinds one is digital the other one is a wireless unit inside the terranium. The digital reads 99% the wireless reads 69% and stable. There is water droplets on top of the terranium cover as well as the sides. I have a casing inside there at the present moment. Anyone with accurate hydrometers please let me know and if where I could buy a accurate one. Thanks

I think you should calibrate your hygrometer.

Let your digital one 'bake' inside a hot car for a day or two and then reset it (take out the batteries if needed). Some people have good luck with digital ones, others (such as myself) have horrible luck with them. A good 'cigar shop' hydrometer seems to work best for me.

if you have that much condensation, the digital is probably correct .
i would take the top off your terrarium for a little while and see if the reading drops .
i believe the optimum for fruiting cubes is 95% .if you dont do something to lower the humidity, your shrooms are gonna have fat arses. :shocked:

If you are doing cakes, then yes. If you are casing, then that is way too high.

ewright, i missed that he is casing .

dentedshrooms, why do you need a hydrometer ?
what you need is ventilation, unless you're trying to gro slime mold . :grin:
if water is dripping from the cover, you're humidity is 100% !

I realize I must have the 100% moisture, I have water droplets on the cover but dont think its like dripping anything crazy. But the hydrometers are not reading accurate. Can I just place seran wrap over my casing and shut off the cool mister and let it colonize on its own until I can fruit it. Then take the seran wrap off and turn the cool mister on? I do have a bubbler going inside the terranium exchanging air.
