Shotguns have holes in the bottom, too.  And yeah, it might work, but it seems somewhat less than ideal to me.

These are tried and true, it will definitely work great as long as you keep up on your misting/fanning.

You're going to want holes in the sides and top of that one, too.

Fan three to five times a day, and while you're doing that look at your cakes.  If they have moisture glistening on the surface, don't mist them.  If they do not, mist them until they glisten again.

You need to follow the tek's more precisely.
Your first fc was not a fc at all.
And you dunk and roll right after taking them out of the jar,
not 8 days later.
If they dry up and don't do shit after 2-3-4 weeks, you can dunk them again,
but dont roll.
They have been birthed now, if you crumble them all the nasties that have
landed on them for the 16 days out in freedom will contam if you
try to make them colonize more brf.
also, it's better to fruit cakes as cakes, and use grains for spawning to bulk.

I think he meant spawn to bulk as in a bulk substrate like coir or hpoo. It's probably a little late for that anyways the mycelium is probably getting too old and stressed to recover.

Water droplets inside your fruiting container means your RH is good.

What? No it doesn't.....

The water droplets are either from condensation, or from you misting....neither of which have anything to do with the humidity levels in the tub.

Condensation is caused by a temperature differential, not humidity.

In a properly built SGFC there should never be condensation.

In a monotub there should always be condensation, except for a dry ring around the polyfill stuffed holes.

We've argued about this before.  Condensation is when a temperature differential causes the saturation point of water to drop below the partial pressure, causing precipitation.  In humid air a temperature differential will cause condensation; in arid air it will not.  This is truth.  You've told us all before about taking a cold beer out of the fridge in Chicago and noting the condensation on it, and I've told you before about how that doesn't happen in Alberta because for water to come out of the air you have to have water in the air. Saying that condensation has nothing to do with humidity is exactly like saying that the sugar crystals that form when you chill a supersaturated syrup have nothing to do with how much sugar is in the water and everything to do with a temperature differential.  Sugar doesn't come from nowhere.  Neither does water.

Following your logic, though, I'm curious to know why is it that there should never be condensation in a SGFC?  Is it because there should never be a temperature differential?  That doesn't even begin to make sense.

My apologies if I'm :kingcrankey: tonight.  I'm coming down off a pretty painful and introspective trip.

Edit:  I said relative humidity instead of partial pressure, which has been corrected.

No there should not be a temperature difference in a SGFC, the outside air temp should be the same as the inside air temp, because of the constant FAE.

Hence why the only moisture on the sides of a properly built SGFC is moisture you put there, not condensation.

You're arguing the indefensible point that condensation on the walls is an indicator of high humidity in a terrarium, which it is not, regardless of who has made the same mistake before.  My terrariums are all sitting at 95% or greater, and not one of them has a single drop of condensation on the walls.  However, I can take a sealed-up rubbermaid, put perlite and substrates in it, and shortly after I turn on the light overhead, condensation will form on the sides.  Why? Temperature differential-It's warmer inside the terrarium than outside.

Condensation, or the lack of it, is not in any way, shape, or form and indication of sufficient humidity for mushroom cultivation.  Nor will you get condensation on the sides of a container with holes drilled in it.  The holes exchange air(number ONE pinning trigger) and equalize the temperature differential.  I've never seen condensation in a shotgun terrarium, even when it's at 100% humidity.

A relative humidity of 95% means there's 95% of the maximum possible humidity in the air.  You won't have condensation until the RH is 100%, so obviously there won't be a single drop on the walls.

If there is a temperature differential of only a degree or two and there is condensation on the walls, it is in fact a very good sign that humidity is high enough for cultivation.  Condensation with a two-degree temperature differential means you have a 95% RH or above.  You can double check that if you like by using this condensation calculator, but you probably won't enjoy the fact that you have to enter the relative humidity to make it work.

I'm sorry, but RR is wrong about this, and instead of looking it up for yourself you just parroted him.  He's the first to tell you he's not the word of God, so please stop treating him as such.

So you are saying condensation will not happen unless the humidity is at 100%?

WTF?!?!?!

That is complete bullshit.

Condensation is not an indicator of high RH, if that was the case there would always be condensation in a SGFC that has 100% humidity....but there is not.

Yes, let's all bow down to the almighty RR.....

Here are some other TC's opinions on the matter....since RR quotes piss you off....

FrankHorrigan said:
Light in FC = no no.  Heat bad.  Hotter interior FC = more condensation. Condensation is humidity being removed from the air and stuck to the walls and heat sources.  It's created by a temp differential between the inside and outside of the FC.  The same way your windshield fogs up under certain conditions in your car.

Also note that condensation on the side walls of your chamber is not an indication of relative humidity. What this does indicate tho is a temperature differential between the inside of the chamber and the ambient room air. This causes moisture inside the chamber to condense on the walls of the chamber. If you build your chamber correctly your relative humidity will be in the needed range.

If the humidity is reading 99% with good airflow it sounds like a good setup. Condensation isn't necessarily an indicator of humidity.
