raise Incubation Humidity
    #18795350 - 09/03/13 05:10 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hello all! Very 1st post here and I need some answers before my 1st grow op goes to shit! We are on day 3 of incubation. We are using a plastic tote with a few holes in the side(came from our midwest grow kit). Any who on day1 there was 70% humidity and now there is only 48% humidity! Mind you our plastic tote is in a black trash bag in our closet. My roommate thinks a good idea to spray water in there all around our jars. I do not. there has to be another way to raise the munidity and keep jars from drying out! Please help!

you dont need any humidity when incubating jars. each jar provides a microclimate which is clean and humid. as the jars are closed tight and secured with tinfoil, there shouldnt be any exposure to the outside world. thus, humidity outside the jars will have no effect. the only thing you need externally when incubating is a little bit of warmth. after birthing the jars and beginning to fruit, your terrarium's humidity should be at 95%. here's how to do it with nothing but a tote and perilite:

I'm not sure if I can help much but just curious on some clarification. You said you're incubating, does that mean you put mycelium in jars(from a syringe to grain or similar method), and those jars are in the tote? Are you measuring the humidity of the jars or just general air in the tote?

Just put your jars on a shelf and leave them at room temp.  Tits aren't needed for colonization.

Tbag is right room temp on shelf incubation is outdated the jars already are perfect humidity and room temp is ideal

Ditch the incubator. Put jars in room temperature. The SGFC will provide the right amount if you make it the way it should be made. The chances of your hygrometer being a complete piece of shit are very high so the numbers most likely are false readings anyway.

im talking about the air in the tote
we did this http://www.midwestgrowkits.com/pdf/MidwestGrowkits_Mega_Kit_Setup_Guide.pdf

but we have the tote on a shelf and the pad hanging about 5inches below on the coat rack..... our temp inside the tote is 82... we like the 82 but we dont want to dry our jars out..

82 seems a little high. Contam's like higher temps, and it's even hotter inside the jars than your thermo is reading. My g2g was at 73-77 degrees the whole time and it only took 6 days to colonize. But it shouldn't dry out as long as the lids on and tyvek, tape, and/or foil barrier there.

Thanks everyone! Now I can finally relax! Lol ill keep it at 82 and hope that my jars stay contam free. When I chack on my jars would it be wrong to disinfect the area where my jars are stored? I'm thinking somehow this will ruin everything lol.

If your filter is is working properly it won't be necessary to disinfect the area.

Enjoy the metabolites! Why would you keep a temp and hope when you can lower the temp and know for sure it'll be ok.  The middle of that jar is probably in the high 80's or low 90's. I wish you luck in your mold grow.

spraying water around your jars while incubating wrapped in a garbage bag?!?!?

no.  just no.    :uhoh: 

who or what in the world gave you the idea you had to have humidity while incubating?

Don't forget the temps. Look,  op, we aren't Nazis around here.  We are not trying to bully you into a specific way of growing. We want you to be successful,  but the path you're on could fuck all your potential grows.

Every month there are dozens of threads like these we see the posters storm off because they feel attacked when their grow is critiqued or they fail,  think it's too hard to never be seen again.  The 3rd option which is very rarely taken is that the poster listens to those with years of experience,  who have done this thousands of times and will form an ongoing community to help others that are starting.

Click the grow along link in my signature,  you will see that room temp will colonize perfectly fine, it gives you accurate times as this is all done live. I do the tasks minutes before I post to ensure realistic expectations to new cultivators.

I know as soon as I sropped incubating my colonization times went faster and had less mold.  Incubators are a waste of time and money I colonize mine on a shelf at room temp works wonders every time

OP all of your good ideas seem like terrible ideas to us for a reason. Just leave the damn jars out. I just finger fucked all of my jars with dirty ass hands and it's A-OK because everything inside the jars is protected. Put them on your coffee table if you want.

Haha lots of peope gave me that idea, and it was stupid I know that now. And the whole reason I posted this thread was to prove to my roommate that the spray bottle was a bad idea. Its our 1st time dude and we want to get it right n trip balls. I think I'm going to take your advide and leave the temp alone, I guess it won't kill me to wait two more weeks. That how to grow shrooms vid on youtube sdaid the jars can be done in two weeks at 86, I figured 82 wasn't that bad. But I came here to get sound advice, not argue with pros. Thanks for all of the help guys, no spray bottle, no heating pad, no disinfecting of the area, ill just keep them in the dark at room temp! Thanks! Oh yea one more thing, the black trash bag is to keep it dark... It won't hurtt anythinh will it?

Ambient light is beneficial to mycelium growth.  Read through my thread, even though its grain youll see that it is a-ok.
