UPDATE:

Currently dunking my 6 PESA cakes.

Here's a pic of my fruiting setup. The SGFC on the left has my 6 Amazon cakes and the SGFC on the right is empty until I fill it with perlite and roll the cakes tomorrow!



I must say, Perlite is amazing! Keeping 99% humidity is so simple!
I misted before bed last night and expected it to drop to around 70% but it was at 88% after 8 hours!

EDIT: Also, I had a question. Is it true that I can buy a decent (analog) hygrometer at a smoke shop? I have that Accurite digital hygrometer that's in the picture but I've read digital is crap so I want to get an analog one for my other SGFC.

Yeah go to cigar shop. You can get an analog adjustable hygrometer at any cigar shop

Oh okay I was confused I was thinking a head shop but that makes sense that cigar shops would have them.
Thanks brotha.

Anytime!

There are 2 ways to calibrate your manual hygrometer. Most people on here use the wet towel method. I perfer the bottle cap full of saltwater in a ziplock bag method. It is supposed to be more accurate. There is a good how to video about it on YouTube. Just type in how to calibrate hygrometer

The salt water thing, it is less accurate.

Use the wet towel :thumbup:

IMO a hygrometer is unnecessary, the mushies will tell you what they need.

I can definitely agree with no need for a hygrometer. Thought I needed one at first in my sgfc but after seeing it sit on 100 percent for 2 weeks I didn't see any point anymore

The salt test is for calibrating it to around 75%.

What you want to do is the wet towel method, which calibrates it to the highest point possible.

After an hour wrapped in a towel, if it does not say 99-100%, make it.

I used the salt method. Set it to 75. Then I put it in my sgfc and it set there pegged on 100 percent until I finally decided I didn't need it anymore. Worked ok for me. Never tried the towel method

Yeah true that, there really is no point if your doing everything correctly. Aren't they like $20-$30 anyways? I'm gunna ditch that idea because I'm already getting a feel for how it should be using the digital one.

Good advice.

UPDATE:

Here's the setup now:


Got the 6 PESA BRF cakes into SGFC(B) with 4.75" of perlite.


SGFC(A) is already pinning less that 48hrs later. Is this okay? I've read that it should take about a week to start pinning. I should mention that this amazon syringe seems MUCH more aggressive than the PESA one. It colonized faster, and grew a lot of in vitro pins during consolidation.

Nevertheless, here's a pic of the biggest pin I could find on the Amazon cakes:


I'm misting with distilled water using one of these Zep© Professional Sprayers. They work great for window tinting (one of my trades) but I've messed around a lot with trying to adjust the nozzle to get the finest mist possible but it will still shoot out a lot of big drops along with the fine mist.
I could do fine with this for misting but I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a specific sprayer that can get a really good misting setting?



I was thinking of possibly picking up one of these bad boys:


Any thoughts/advice/suggestions/criticisms/comments/trolls/encouraging words?

You do realize that your TV doesnt have way higher resolution just because its larger than the average monitor dont you?  If anything its probably 720p but EVEN IF ITS 1080p, thats what the rest of us have, and then some.

Your picture was not/would not be larger just because your screen is larger you xbro moron.
