Thanks for clearing that up R.R. Whats a good way to know if you cakes have or need more water? I know sometimes when i spray mine they might turn a bit blue, not bad but you notice it, is that one way?

The easiest way to judge moisture content when you're new is to pick the cake up.  You can tell by the weight if it's dry or not.  You want to mist a few times daily.  When water is evaporating from a substrate, it's a major pinning trigger, but that water needs to be replaced.  Your 85% humidity will be fine if you'll just mist more.  The key is to make sure all the water is evaporated off the fruits themselves within 15 minutes.  If not, it means you need more air exchange.

Your small terrarium isn't going to work as well.  I'd consider a 58 quart tub to be minimum size.  Build a shotgun terrarium per the tek and it will work great.  If you want to watch a video of one under construction, it's part 3.

Ok thanks a ton. Yeah i watched the videos a few times over and i guessed it would work better if i had a small fc for just one cake. I see now that i should have just done it per instructions. And i do have a 58qt fc ready with holes and all, so i guess ill just let this cake do its thing, but after my other jars are ready ill put directly in my 58qt fc. Again thanks for all your help.

I coulda sworn I read you say that, alone with a million other people.  I was under the impression that droplets on the fruits made them abort and that was the main reason we're supposed to fan after misting.

I feel stoned right now but if RR is saying it I'll believe it.  :blush:  :frown:
