I did these in under 10% humidity. Straight open air indoors in a farm house from the 70s, in a cluttered room. I own 7 horses I interact with every day, then tend to my mushrooms right after. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so saying there's hair and contams in my house is an understatement. If you've followed me around, you'd see me preaching agar, and making sure everything colonizes clean is what matters. Once established, it will be able to ward off contaminations (assuming it's not in a weakened state through bad spawn or improper prep. Something you can't improve with a kit, and you kinda have to depend on the people who sold it to you).
If you keep the surface glistening with no pooling water, you can have as much fae as you want. Best thing about poking holes in a bag is if you feel it's drying too quickly (you poked too many holes) you can just tape some up.. or just poke more if you feel like you can probably benefit with more. Just remember there's really no such thing as too much fae.

Mad season, thanks for the response and thanks to everyone else too. what i have been doing is opening the top of the bag and letting a fan run close to it.. Not directly over it but pretty close for a couple mins to circulate air in there. It did come with pretty crsppy directions. I mist and fan sbout 3 or 4 times a day pretty well. thr mycellium id getting thicker snd spreading on the top. So whats the final word????? Do i poke holes in it......and hoe many and where????? Or should i just keep misting and fsnning and leave the bsg alone? Thanks

I don't get it.. I told you why it'd benefit you. And how to fix it if you poked too many holes. Why wouldn't you??
As for hole placement, just do a bunch of holes on top, and a few holes on the bottom. It's a really sweet way of doing it.
BTW Fanning doesn't replace fae. It's always done after misting to promote pinning faster by evaporating what you misted quicker. Fae is constant. To fan for fae you'd need to exchange the chamber (fan) every 5 minutes. That's how often it should be exchanged.
Just trust me. I know grow boxes really well. These are just a few examples.

Everything Mad is telling you is correct, you don't need a second opinion.

That should be good enough right? also the mycellium on the top of the bag hasnt fully taken over yet...theres some growing ...is it good to poke the holes right now or wait until it grows more?

Update: Poked holes. Finally stopped thinking about it and actually did something. So i poked about 12 holes, all around the bag. Mostly in the midle and towards the bottom. I have a good feeling
MAD SASON your right about the Fae thing. And so were a few others on here, theres no way my crop was getting enough of it. The holes i made were with a pen so i think the mushies are going to reqrad me for rewarding them. i appreciate you guys helping me out..will keep posted every day. thanks again

Hey guys so an update.... ITS BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE I POKED HOLES ALL OVER THE BAG. Ive been using mad season's advice and misting until the top layer is glistening but no pools of water. The bag is getting lots of fae....so much that i have to mist again every 4 to 6 hours....its not completely dried out or anything but i like to keep it moist all of the time so i mist when it looks like its getting low.. one thing ive noticed is that the mycellium id growing much fsster on the top.....its starting to take off very quick...hopefully going to see some pins soon. does anyone have any suggestions? Im misting about 8 to 10 sprays about a foot away from the surface. after that i keep the bag close to a fan for sbout 30 seconds or so to promote evaporation. the room i have it in is about 75 degrees...sometimes lower at night snd sometimrs 80 to 82 during the day. I keep a fan ruuning throughout the day and its a little warm in the room but not rnough to dry the box out or be conducive to molds. Its a pretty good climate for mushies to grow in. Other thsn that, jt seems to be good. Just hoping for thr best snd keeping it in sanitary conditions as best as i can.
any other recommendations? Should i upload any pics?

If you find you're misting too often for your liking you can tape some holes up. But if you're happy Atm (sounds like it's actually going really good!) Then keep doing what you're doing! Keep this updated!

Thanksman! I have to admit. if it wasnt for your advice and you posting those kinks then i dont know how well things would hsve gone. It seems as if i took your advice at exactly thr perfect time and the mycellium got blasted with constant co2 and hopefull is going to reward me nicely. its a damn shame that those kits come with shitty instructions. i should have know better but it had been a few years since i had done anything like this and i thought the manufacturers of the kit would have know to give good instructions. i realize now thst there instructions kind of coincide with there dosaging instructions for thr msgic truffles. if yiu head into a smart shop in amsterdam thst sells truffles they will tell you that 10 grams wet will give you a trip and they reccomend no more thsn 15 grams because its too strong....truffles are weak. I guess its there way of selling it but lying about the potency so people wouldnt get harmed or hsving a bad trip by taking more. They tell them to basically take the bare mjnum. same with the growkits. they basically give you a choke bag because they dont want kids that are 15 growing them on there own and selling them in school or getting ramifications from cops etc about them. if your smart enough or research enough to know what your doing then you will habe a good outcome. the kit and price of it are great if you are just looking for a normal amount,. 45 bucks for lets say 20 dried grams or more ir pretty good considering thats all i want/need.
Will jpdate again soon,,,gonna look at them!

Mushroom cultivation has taught me that I'm the smartest person I know and nothing is out of grasp with determination. Trust no one but yourself and your instinct.
Glad you're catching on. Mad is also a great support. Don't forget to leave him a rating

Like a trophy?! 
You're cool in my books man. I didn't see you around when I was here a couple years ago. I can't believe how much you progressed in like less than a year.
Seriously how?
