 I must admit im getting frustrated. This weird looking guy is like a week old. By all the pics I've seen by this time he shld be huge. He had one growing directly below him that pinned first. Started growing downward and quit basically and this guy came out like day after started growing,got bigger and has pretty much quit and IDK just looks wrong. I've fucked up somewhere. My guess is cuz I took hydrometer out of chamber cuz I was told I didn't need it in there. I was monitoring it daily before. So I took it out and set is outside of chamber. My room has been staying like 70% humidity. Judging my lack if fruits I've clearly fucked it up. So I put the humidity gauge back in, jacked up the temp in the room, put cool mist on low. I've noticed also the water I use to mist has been leaving a thin White coat on chamber walls. Should I not be using tap water? I put fresh cold water in bottle this eve and had my first experience with bruising. Idk.. I'm just bleh at this point. Makes me sad cuz I've been trying so hard.

I think it's cute people think increasing humidity is the solution. Tbh 70% humidity is perfect. The only issue you need to worry about is to keep them glistening. Which that cake isn't. It's dry. It's been dry for awhile because it's bruised quite heavily. Mist that bitch keep it glistening.

That cake didnt bruise til I misted it last night. I think I misted to hard and close. Plus I picked it up. It's definitely not dry. I spray several times a day.

Yeah you probably hit it a little too hard with that sprayer...as previously stated that cake in that picture is D-R-Y...a trick you can use (I used to, when I started with cakes) is to take a picture of the cake with the flash on...you should see little bb's of moisture lit up all over them fuckers... mist from above and let it rain down...your doing good don't start getting impatient now...dang

it Isn't about the feel of it. I look at it and the surface is dry. It's supposed to be glistening CONSTANTLY. I don't see no crystal glistles. It needs to be misted . Mist again when the crystal glistles stop

Well after like an hour or 2 they aren't glistening. So they have to be sprayed that frequently lol. How do ppl work and do this lol. I'm not working at the moment so I took on the challenge but I have active sport players that require me to be gone few hrs at a time. Guess I'll just keep misting much as possible. I thought I was misting to much. I had read only mist few times a day.

you shouldn't have to mist more than 2-3 times a day for most people. if they go for 8 hours or 14 hours while you're not home that's fine

Why wait until it is visibly dry o.O?

Because evaporation needs to actually occur. If the surface remains moist without cycling it won't be able to breathe as well and welcomes a host of other problems.

Because I wld think if anyone has a life and leaves for a few hours they will return to them being dry. If someone is home all day and night then sure mist em every 2 hrs. Need one of those misting setups grocery stores have lol.

 It looks lower in some places cuz I moved it around to make sure none of bottom holes were blocked. But if it needs more I'll put more in.

It's okay if they're dry when you get to them, but you need to mist them rather than letting them stay dry when you have the option to mist. Not doing the 100% best possible is okay, just do as best as you can and that will have to be enough because that's what you get with what you've got. Does any of that make... actual sense? I hope so.
It does need a little more perlite, that would be why it's drying out so fast.

Welp there you go thinking anyone around here has a life. Some ppl here only sleep in 2 hour increments and have an alarm to wake them up to mist/fan. I kid..wish I had some good answers for ya but welcome to the Shroomery and remember very few noobs get it right on the first try...or 2nd or 3rd or.....

I added more perlite. I did notice quite a few nice pins growing on the bottom. Good size too. Actually looking better than all my other pins. Do I just leave em to grow from bottom?

Yep. That's a sign that the conditions were better for pinning down there, probably from the low level of the perlite.
