lol you guys are awesome! so I usually have a fan running in this room as it gets pretty stuffy otherwise, but decided to stop that. How about having a window open? seems like its pretty much the same thing, really.
does it matter that much?
I mean I love my (non existent) mushrooms but I dunno whether I can do much about a window or fan unless its really important...
also, one last thing, how much verm should there be on ur cakes after a dunk and roll, is it possible to have too much? or will the shrooms grow on regardless? You are right, I am a worrier 
thanks in advance .

You are suppose to mist cakes until pins form then you stop misting the cakes. This post makes me think that you think you are suppose to mist the pins? This causes aborts. You mist your cakes until you see pins the evaporation of your substrate is your number 1 pinning trigger

I respect your post count, so I must ask, I've never heard to stop misting when pins form. Explain please?

There is so much conflicting info on this site its unreal. I found two posts from RR. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4133913/vc/1#4133913 and then http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5622076/vc/1#5622076
 And this is the problem with shroomery. I love this place like my own child but its hard to get the right info
I, like many ppl on this site believe that misting causes aborts

I have never had any aborts from misting, but maybe I just got lucky...

The condensation will not form because condensation is only due to *temperature differences in the inside and outside of the walls*. You can mist the sides, its fine, but expect it to evaporate quick.
WHAT!? You mean High Temp + Low Temp = Water?? This is incredible. I bet scientists would be interested to know we can now create our own water!

i mist from birth to harvest.
so does most other people around here.
water does not cause pins to abort.
in fact. you can dunk pins COMPLETELY under water for ~4-10 hours and they will continue to fruit just fine

They tend to abort if you DON'T fan after you mist and allow the water to sit on the pins for an extended amount of time.

Getting pins can be frustrating. I just throw escalating numbers at it. The more cakes (or whatever) the more chances for pins. It's guttural but it works.

It's possible, but given the proper conditions, it shouldn't be likely.

My first recommendation is to read a book. For everyone. If you don't understand what's going on, read more. That being said, fungus is pretty hard to 'kill'. Unless you really screwed up, there's not much to worry about. Yes, mist and fan throughout the process. You have to constantly replace evaporated moisture. But, before anything else, go get a book. Preferably Stamets. This is first chapter crap.

hey pretty good thankyou! I've started harvesting em! There is pretty much a fan on constantly in the room and it doesnt seem to have effected them at all. The cake where I picked all the shrooms gave me just over 30 grams... and then I dunked it and put it back in the chamber, hoping for more! 
I tried a small amount the other day just to see how potent they were, they are gunna be a fantastic addition to summer fun!
