I just wrapped the 4 sides of the chamber. And that's a cake and a humidity/temp gauge in there.

Why did you wrap the sides?

it be ok if I just fan using the lid a few times a day? Humidity or FAE more important?

Untape the holes.  Fresh air is the number one pinning trigger and far more important than the humidity most new growers think is king.  In addition, you're going to be misting four or five times per day.  There's no way you won't have proper humidity if your ambient is 40%, which is actually pretty high during winter.

Another tip is to rake your fingers through the perlite to rake it and fluff it up.  If it's packed down or level, there's not as much surface area to evaporate water.  Make sure you've calibrated your hygrometer via the damp towel method.  Hopefully, you put holes in all six sides.  The holes in the bottom are especially important for maintaining proper humidity.

Well, you can look right at the pic and see that it's not got 4-5" of perlite, it's not 18" off the floor, and it's not elevated above the support surface.


Follow the tek. Is the plastic wrap in the tek? No.

To get the humidity up to 94%. But looks like FAE is more important so I'll take it off and add more perlite. Is the casing ready to go in the FC?

Doesn't look ready yet for fruiting, to me.

Also you're not supposed to use aluminium trays that way.  Apparently the mycelium will eat it.  Would be OK if you had something inside it like garbage bag plastic.

Dude, why would you delete the original post? These sorts of threads are invaluable for newbies down the road who, if the're hip to the game, would be using the search engine and/or googling their inquiry while adding "shroomery" at the end.(works wonders)

No one was being a smart ass, and if they were just realize that some people here answer questions all damn day, for the benefit of others, and one of the most common answers given is "follow the tek."

If wrapping your FC wasn't in the tek, then you probably shouldn't do it as it's obviously going to hinder your FAE, which is the reason you took all that time to drill all those holes.

Regardless, I wish you and your grow the best and hope it works out for you in the end.

peace

Doc_T is the one that pisses me off. First he asks a question that is answered in the original post.

I set the FC on the floor for better lighting for the pic.

I can't add much more perlite because my next casing container is tall and the shrooms will hit the roof.

Doc_T does more criticizing than help. Yes I'm a noob. If you don't have anything helpful to say than just skip over my post.

Is it possible I wanted to draw attention to the issue without calling you out for being a stoopid noob?

You wouldn't be the first, but like/loathe his style, Doc_T is one of the best, most knowledgeable, most active/helpful posters on this site.  Best advice would be to put hurt feelings aside and go read a whole bunch of his posts :thumbup:

Ok the plastic wrap around the FC was a stoopid noob move...accepted.

Wrap has been removed and a bung load of perlite has been added, sitting pretty now:



Sorry for being grumpy...peace to all.
