How many holes do you have in your chamber and on how many sides?

Yes...mist the cakes directly with a fine mist until they glisten, then fan out the chamber.

Yes it is a SGFC, 1/4" holes on all sides including bottom and top.
On the top and bottom I spaced them out every 4 inches.

Did the tek say to do that?

Should have holes every 2" on all 6 sides.

Also how often are you misting/fanning the cakes?

Misting and fanning 2-4 times a day.
Is it possible to overwater??

The mushroom in the pics started out when they were still in jars colonizing. My way I know when to birth them is when I see a pin. Now one of the mushrooms is as large as the cake and looks super healthy! There are very few pins on all the cakes though, maybe 5 at most. I am wondering why.

most 2-4 times a day then fan, you can most more but make sure to fan after the mists. I usually do 3-4 times a day, as long as your humidity is right you don't need to most more than that. if your cakes are dry you can redunk them to add water, misting isn't the answer for that, it's to initiate pinning from evaporation in the outside of the cakes and to restore some of the lost moisture from your perlite base.

that makes sense, that one pin grew in the jar so cake is devoting all energy to it, you should have better pinset on next flush, if you can get away with the holes being 4" apart on this grow whatever... but after the cakes finish you should red roll the holes 2" all over. if for some reason that causes humidity to go to low you can always duct tape some holes up, part of the reason to make it right the first time is that you can always easily tape up holes, but it's a pain in the ass to go back and redrill ones that aren't there

Thanks ghost shadow!

I am also interested in taking prints. I understand how to make prints and make a spore syringe but I'm curious about contamination.
After making a print onto foil, wouldn't it become filled with bacteria after sitting for so long. Then making a syringe with it would just end up bad results. What is the process of keeping the spore print sterile to the point of making a spore syringe?

If a mushroom grows in open air, it ain't sterile no more.  Most likely all prints you get won't be sterile neither.

No, assuming you are providing sufficient fanning to ensure there is no standing water.

make the spore print in a glovebox, follow all sterile procedures while putting the spore print in there, then make the syringe in the glovebox. basically you want to sanitize everything then put your spore print/syringe stuff in the glovebox ( syringe, shot glass, distiller water, mushroom cap, tin foil) and work in there. if it gets contams it gets contams, but that's the best way to eliminate the variables ( basically just free floating mold spores) from contaminating your work.

No, assuming you are providing sufficient fanning to ensure there is no standing water.




if you are misting 500 times a day you aren't letting relative humidity build up in the chamber. that would be considered overwatering. if your sgfc is built correctly, it is elevated and there are holes in the bottom, unless you are dumping water in the perlite there shouldn't be any standing water in the chamber ever

Obviously its within reason.  And I was more referring to the amount of water in one sitting more than the number of times.  I doubt OP is just going to sit there and spray them on the hour.

Also, some half pint jars, like Kerr half pints, build a small dimple at the center of the cake where water can run down from all sides and make a small pool.  It is important not to have standing water there either.  Im well aware of how a functioning SGFC works.
