Can I loosen the BOTTOM polyfill holes to increase FAE?
    #22030156 - 08/01/15 07:14 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I had fuzzy feet my 1st flush. I loosened the top holes to completely ridding them of polyfill. I still had fuzzy feet (rising up stipes) 2nd flush.

I read that the bottom holes should be tight as a rabbits asshole. Can I loosen them up a bit? Or would that be bad?

I have not had any humidity issues, just FAE...and now (after 2nd flush) I finally realized that fanning the mono does nothing really for FAE..

Tight on the bottom is a general starting point t. Adjust all your holes to suit your environment.

When your tubs are fruiting, you can lose all your polyfill (assuming your substrate is properly hydrated and your RH is not super dry).  They love FAE.  Give it to them.

the mushrooms love fae, but the substrates dry out because of it. so the stuffing of polyfill is a balancing act that will be unique to your grow room. it will take some adjusting but its pretty easy to find the right amount.
