it has the potential to be, but you never really know until time has taken its course. it could stop growing tomorrow or it could keep growing for the next week.

so keep misting and fanning. make sure you fan till your arm hurts to create as much evaporation on those cakes as possible. this will help with your next flushes pinnset.

no no no no thats baddd your gonna dehydrate your cakes doing this............. what i mean is you mist your cakes till they are moist, then you fan them with a hand fan (i used the top of my tote) and fan them till your arms hurt(usually about 2 -3 minutes) this will provide the evaporation needed.

the only time you need a fan in your room is if your cakes arent getting enough Fresh air, and in that case you never want the fan pointing towards your FC, you want it pointing at a wall to stir up the air and help make an indirect air current through your Fc.

I doubt the fan is going to hurt anything but best practice is to use the lid for a few seconds after the mist. You just want to evacuate high humidity air from the chamber so that the mist you applied can get kickstarted on evaporation. The FAE mixed with a high RH environment will take care of the slow drawn out evaporation that triggers pinning.

mis information, having a fan run that long pointing at your cakes will suck the moisture right out of them, they will shrivel up bruise and you will not yield another flush from them.

standing water isnt as bad as drying your cakes out... but yea the objective of misting is to have a light coating of moisture over the cake. and then you fan it to speed the evaporation (this is why i say to do it for 2-3 minutes or till your arm hurts so that it evaporates as much as possible minimizing standing water on myc surface)

he said 10-15 minutes. Even less time would hurt less... It's not good practice but 10 minutes of a fan a couple times a day isn't going to dry them out.

OP have a read through my thread(first post in my signature) if you want to know more about the finer workings of a SGFC

im not doubting your ability, i'm just arguing that 10-15 minutes of direct fan blowing is too much.
