Have you calibrated your hygrometer? If so, how is your RH?

This is a problem here. Don't run a fan in the room with the SGFC, it messes with the natural convection currents created by the cakes and perlite. Fans are for monos and such. Fan 3-4 times a day, you can even fan 6-8 if possible. Mist every other fanning or 2-3X a day. (good general guideline.)

I am using a mono tub! Just filled w perlite and cakes. My hygrometer doesn't calibrate btw. But it reads around 80% if that says anything. I'm seriously considering coir tek w brf spawn??? Any thoughts??? I have all supplies to make brf jars. I still require several things before I can move to grain.

You should have a SGFC if you are making cakes, not a monotub. Monotubs = grains/bulk.

SGFCs maintain the humidity by air flowing up through the holes in the bottom and through the damp perlite. Just putting perlite in the bottom of a mono will not maintain humidity. However, it will likely help grow a pretty cool bacteria farm.
