Ha! I've never seen that before I love it. Like having fresh dose sized jars ready for picking.

I'm having some humidity issues with the soda bottle. I don't see any condensation on the bottle. How can I increase humidity in the FC pictured above?

mist the cake, that gives you 95-99 percent humidty on the surface where it matters

Ok. So it should always be wet? I thought I was supposed to fan until the cake wasnt wet

no just mist then fan for 30 seconds or so, you just want the stale air out, then mist again when there's no more moisture on the surface

Condensation has nothing to do with the humidity in the FC.
Condensation is from a temperature differential.
To increase the humidity, mist and fan more.

I think the slow growth is due to lack of evaporation so I switched the bottoms to fit a few inches of perlite rather than just one

Unfortunately the cake slid into the bottle yesterday and the only pin broke.. But the cake has recovered with 30+ pins. Some are tiny but here's what I have now.
Is it possible that breaking that first pin off triggered the cake to make more? It had the one pin for 3 days without others. Then after it broke a bunch came.
Or is it just a coincidence and these pins would have showed up even if I hadn't broken it?

That little cake looks pretty dry. Mist/fan, soak if needed

I do, a lot. I took the cake out of the FC to take the picture, it was in the morning so it dried overnight. I don't like the soda bottle FC at all though ill be working on a shotgun tub soon as I have 4 more jars ready.

That's good to know thanks, but how do i keep the cake from drying out overnight? Even if I soak them they are still dry by morning

Hmmm. Sounds like maybe: You have too much airflow from somewhere. You have too little perlite or it isn't wet enough.
Mushrooms are 90% water. Fruits from a dry cake would be a miracle.
Ok. Looking at the pics... You could easily make this soda bottle idea work but probably not with no top. Any air surrent and you're looking at low RH and dry cakes.
I haD a buddy amaze me once with a simple soda bottle setup. Amazing because he didn't know shit. It worked good tho. Little knife slits in the sides. Humidity and hole size have a direct correlation.
