Ok guys, so last night after i placed my cakes into my "SGFC" i turned on the fan and pointed it underneath the fc at the floor. little did i know, horrible idea to leave fan on all night. i came home to my RH to be at only 88% (the lowest its ever gotten!!) so i misted the SHIT out of my cakes, making sure to not get any large water droplets on them, just fine mist. however due to my over misting because of the dry climate i have bruised my baby cubensis .... i also added a humidifier to my room, not in the aquarium, but next to it. the aquarium is raised off the ground with nothing covering the bottom holes.
so a few questions for ya guys!! 1. how often do i mist my aquarium? (without bluing of the cakes) 2. Is this bruising going to effect these mushrooms? 3. how often do i turn on my fan and where do i point it? 4. should i continue to leave on my humidifier seeng its purpose is to up the humididty in my whole room, (but should i leave it by my SGFC), maybe underneath?
glad i did this one right guys!

No fan necessary and it kinda hurts the operation unless you know what your doing and have a specific reason
No humidifier needed. The SGFC works all alone.
Bruising is ok as long as it's not ridiculous, I always got a little bruising from my mistings
You just mist whenever your cakes dry out, you'll have to watch them every hour or so to get a general time frame...you want to give hem a little time (hr or two) to be kinda dry before misting again...they don't like to be waterlogged constantly, and drops in RH are fine as well cause that allows for more evaporation with fresh air coming in

Ok no fan in the room any longer! esp not pointed right at the aquarium! got it! and ok bruising isnt too bad, its deff noticable tho, and right at bottom of the stem. how far away do you mist them? like up close to aim the mist away from the mushrooms themselves and directly at the cake? or mist high and let it cascade down over my cakes/shrooms? and im now implimenting the mist then fan technique to speed up evaporation!

I personally mist the shit outta my cakes man, I started out with fine misting from like a foot above but as I saw how hardy cubes are I started giving them rain showers from the top of the tub basically, they would bruise slightly but I just liked to get em nice and wet cause I had air movement in the room for my monotub and it made them dry quick. *
Moral of the story is don't be too worried about misting procedure, just get them a little damp and they will thank you for it, try raining mist down from 8 inches or so above first

then i shall not worry about bruising the cubes, strong little fighters they are (: and mist every chance i get after i see that the cakes have fully evaporated (: (about an hour or 2) thanks for the advice!

Not a problem man, I wanna see everyone with their own mushrooms.
Your doing good man I know there is a lot of crazy info on this website, it used to be even worse on the main page...like ALOT worse, all kinds of outdated and incorrect info.
Just read a lot and try to read newer posts and watch for the guys that obviously know what their doing, check out people's post count and register date when they give info(not perfect by any means but it's gives you a starting idea about their experience level) check out their ratings and also check out their gallery's of pics if they have them to see what they are about.
And just enjoy it, a lot of waiting involved but it gets better and once you have a few staggered projects all going (especially with agar work) you always have something to check on or some work to do or fruits to harvest

ill keep up the reading, seems like there's always something new to learn about in this hobby! im going to have to check out the mycology section. that may even be a career path to go into. i read up on a few sciency articles on how mushrooms are being trained to break down oil and other non organic materials. pretty interesting!! and working in a lab with some mushies wouldn't be too bad! im going to school for my bachelors in biology, followed by a masters, currently in microbiology! and funny enough, we are learning about proper sterilization methods and how to properly inoculate and colonize bacteria! rigt up my alley at the moment (: haha

does anyone know about inoculating tryptic soy broth with spores? i was just going to squirt in the remaining 1cc from one of my syringes into the vial. its only a 9 ml vial but i could then use it to colonize something else. my bio teacher said that the solution is extremely nutritious and just about anything would grow inside of it!
