So the question of the day is , to digi or not to digi

so the question is..... is a digital hygrometer useless in a SGFC , is it better to use analog for a more accurate reading. i mainly use my digi for temp and mist and fan 3-5 times daily or as needed. my set up is 6 - 3 inch holes filled with polyfill and 4 inches of perlite. I just am curious if i should ditch the digital set up and go analog.

And 6 3" holes with polyfil is not a SGFC. That's a monotub with too big of holes lol

kinda figured so, the temp of the fc should be the same as the room temp if the chamber is built correctly with proper fae, and cakes should be misted and fanned as needed til they glisten. opinions please on this question, once you start seeing pins do you cut back on misting and just fan. im always afraid ill have more aborts

No...fanning without misting does no good. Continue misting/fanning 3-4 times a day.

swatt_haze said: wiping a needle with alcohol after flame sterilizing is like rubbing shit on your hands after you washed them and eating a burger.
Flame until the needle is red hot. It will turn black first (because you're using a lighter), then slowly turn red.
Flame sterilize between each JAR, not each inoculation hole. .25 cc a hole for 1cc total each BRF jar. Grains is 1CC as well.
After flame sterilization gently push down on the plunger. It'll shoot out steam until a drop of liquid comes out. Let the drop gently fall and then push your needle through the hole, making sure to angle it TOWARDS THE GLASS. I look down and check to make sure my needle is against the glass sometimes but you can feel it.
If you push and it feels difficult and nothing's coming out gently pull your needle upward while shooting. BE CAREFUL, this will immediately loosen up your needle and if you're pushing too hard you'll shoot way too many CCs into a hole.

taGyo said: Fanning is not FAE. FAE is the passive act of air exchange, reducing CO2 levels and increasing O2. Mushrooms are closer to humans then plants so imagine if I put you in a room with a limited supply of oxygen and expected you to not only live but produce a Mona Lisa at the same time. You would suffer and probably die while drawing stick figures.
In the wild mushrooms are CONSTANTLY blasted by fresh air. There are very few places on Earth that are 100% humidity all the time. Mushrooms like fluctuation, this is what they're used to.
I've done a few cakes and a bunch of monotubs. You don't want it to be WET honestly. You want it to get a little dry before you mist again. Pins form from water evaporating on the surface. How do you think I knew you were over-misting and recommended that you cut down? Because those cakes look like they're getting loved to death. Without a proper environment the cakes won't pin.
DO NOT FAN IN BETWEEN MISTINGS. Fanning is to quickly destroy the environment so the fresh air coming in will have to pull more water from the perlite (Which you should also be misting lightly) to restart the humidity. This gives your cakes a jump start on the drying process and also wicks away excessive moisture from the cakes.
The reason why they're growing out like that past the dry verm layer is because they're getting over-saturated which is telling them they're not supposed to pin yet. Mushrooms don't like overly wet environments. Your SGFC should be 6-12" away from the wall and 6-12" away from the floor. In the middle of the room is ideal.
In the future the oven isn't necessary. But use it if you like.
DON'T ROLL FOR THE SECOND FLUSH.
Are their holes on the bottom? Raise that higher. Do you have qt jars?

no holes on the bottom of my chamber , one hole on the top filled with polyfil. and there is no way i can pull off outting my chamber in the center of the room. i usually have it elevated above a cabinet in the open , ambient light and room temp around 75.

It'll need to be dialed in differently. IMO, save the cakes for the SGFC. If you don't want to do bulk look into muda bottles. It's bulk but easier.
