Advice that people send in PM is probably because its too shity to post in public
yes private advice is usually shit. i agree. but no, op just PM'd me because i wasn't following this thread. he asked me why i told him to return the hygrometer on page 1.
here is the advice i gave him, decide if it's shit or not (im not trying to be a dick btw):
Quote:
because hygrometers are extremely inaccurate. also, if you have high humidity in your FC and your hygrometer gets wet, it's even more inaccurate.
it's better to read the symptoms of your cakes to figure out what they need, not depend on an ineffective device. it's really not that hard. you'll get the hang of it soon. you can always post pics if you are unsure.
also, it's only the microclimate that directly surrounds your pins that matters, not the air 4"-12" away where you place your hygrometer.

Like PinPornProducer said when you decide to upgrade to grains you will need a PC.
Also, do you plan to construct a still air box, SAB?
Yep I have a tote for that I'm just gonna cut 2 arm holes in it

www.mushroomvideos.com explains it all, even why you should elevate the sgfc good luck on your first grow!
if the lids is dark replace it, or cut a window in it, or just light the fc from the sides.

yes. for air flow to come up through the bottom holes. water and some perlite comes out yes, just put a towel underneath or dry with paper towels.
and dont do myco work in the kitchen. kitchen and bathrooms are usually very dirty. My kitchen is for dirty/quarantined tubs and my bathroom is only for rinsing out old tubs. I do my myco work in the living room because I know how a SAB works and fruit in the bed room because I dont have any more rooms in my tiny apt

I have a 3 bedroom with a huge living room. My house is messy as hell rite now because I expected the spores to take longer to arrive lol. My living room is my girls art room pretty much 1room is a laundry/garbage room lol and our bedroom then the other which is totally contaminated with wild mushrooms and a kit that I got a month ago so ill probably do it in the living room as u say I'm going to make the sab and use that ill scrub the floor around the working area with cleaners and close the windows . I think it should be ok. Then I gotta clean the hell out of my appt while the jars incubate then I should be ok when fruiting time comes.

So ill noc in the living room and keep the jars above my fridge. And clean out the contaminated (mushroom room) and everything will be done in there after that. It's warm in there tho can I incubate the jars in the closet of that room or will it be dangerous because of all the kit and wild mushrooms everywhere?

45 minutes in a pc is what I did for pf jars, I've never steam sterilzed so I can't really say for sure but I think they only need an hour or so but 3hrs won't hurt anything so that should be fine. Once they are inoculated as long as they have the dry berm layer and holes taped off you can store em above your toilet lol.
Make sure to let them jars cool over night though to be safe, even though the outside of the jar will feel cool the inside could still be too hot. So it's best to just let them chill over night
