My "SuperCharged" (SC) Fruiting Chamber

Hello all. I shared this on reddit but i would like to share it here for you guys/gals to enjoy/hate and generally just get some opinions, comments, concerns. Let me know.
First off i did this as my several attempts at the shotgun style FC always failed me. I just could never get past 85% humidity. So i present to you my Super charged Fruiting chamber....
Hope you like.

Parts List: 3 milk crates (they give them for free behind most grocery stores.. so i heard) 1 Repti-Fogger 1 Large Fish Tank Bubbler silicone sealant or better 1 inverter from an old LCD panel 1 Bulb from the same LCD panel 1 power strip 1 timer for the light fixture (it's automatic baby) 1 Large Chamber
Unfortunately when i birthed these cakes/trays i did them casing side up so i feel the mushrooms are growing from the bottom as this was colonized first and the casing side was not colonized enough. first pic shows how they were not colonized.

Biggest noob mistake, giving a shit about RH or needing to go above 85

And don't take what he said as rude. It's just true. Year after year we see the same shit over and over. A properly built SGFC is fail proof in providing a perfect environment to fruit cakes in. Anything used past the basic SGFC is overkill and more money/time that could have been spent elsewhere in this costly hobby. Whoever it was that came up with the joke where hygrometers are only good for measuring the inside of your trashcan's RH was spot on.
I still applaud you in your endeavors. Good luck.

RH needs to be 95-99% only in the milimeter range from the surface of your substrate. The rest of the air in the fruiting chamber should fluctuate dramatically through the day. If the air in your FC is above 85% rh all the time you gona get shitty pinsets.
If you wouldn't put a baby in your FC longer than 5 minutes its not good for cubes either. Think a kid could breathe with just that shit air pump?

I thought RH was important but I'm constantly trying to hone in on what works for me as the shotgun style just doesn't work ever in my house. man i have tried over 10 times and this just seems to get them going. Man i have struggled with that!

It is super charged in the sense that you have an air pump and a fogger which also acts as an air pump as it uses a fan to push the fog through the system, obviously using fresh air to accomplish this. So those 2 Air/mist systems working together cause a positive pressure constantly recycling the air inside avoiding any need to "fan" the chamber. Just my reasoning.

I don't think you'll be happy with the results, once fruiting has started fae is far more important than humidity. You will get some fruits and they might look healthy but not what you think you would expect from all the work you put into it. You will be amazed at how well a plastic tub with some holes stuffed with polyfil performs

It sounds to me like you just sucked at giving them what they wanted (proper misting, and sgfc maintenance), and gave up too quickly.
RH is somewhat important.. Nowhere near what you think. under 10% rh open air (No chamber)
my inspiration
OP, fae with PROPER misting (to give 95-99% hydration on the surface, as said before) will give you flushes like you've never seen.
You should always aim for too much fae and need to compensate with misting over not enough fae/too much humidity.
