thrown perlite out and went with aquarium pump

my personal opinion based on results made me ditch perlite . i bought a 18 gallon tub with wire rack and installed a aquarium pump with air stone and 65 k light and my results way surpass expectations. massive pinning , dense fruit. 3 cakes first flush yielded 85 grams wet, 16 grams dried. no meters , just mist n fan 2 times daily. 8 hrs light . working on a water circulation system that filters water thru charcoal filter every 8 hours. perlite is outdated and poor source of humidity. messy and sucks to rehydrate. ive used this for the past few month sided by side with sgfc and i yielded 4x the amount.

dry your mushrooms more, 85wet in a setup like that wont turn out to 16g dry. if you store them with moisture still in them they're gonna rot on you!

why not do away with misting altogether?
check these out: http://www.shroomery.org/9107/Double-Tub-Pictorial http://www.shroomery.org/10677/Monotub
i fruited a single half pint cake's worth of crumbled in a double tub i threw together made from 2 milk bottles and that one cake yielded 72 grams wet. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22470353 really i just made that as sort of a goof, to see if it would work. i'm so happy with the result i built 4 of the 2x2qt tubs i posted at the bottom of that thread, and i plan to build another 4.

i still mist once pins get past the early pin development. they love moisture so i give it . just like after the rain, mushrooms grow big. ive even had fruited cakes floating in water n the fruits were solid not hollow. u can watch through caps absorb it fast.

Yea typically 85 grams will dry to 8.5 grams. Im betting those arent as dry as you think they are.
Aquarium pumps have no place in fruiting chambers. FAE cant be pumped in. People have been building poor man pods like this for years man. You got it backwards, its aquarium pumps that are outdated not perlite

lol. Cubes can fruit anywhere, you can fruit cubes in open air if you want. Good results with your aquarium pump doesn't prove perlite is worst.

Am I the only one wondering how many holes are in the chamber with the pump? There's no way it'd be doing better without holes. If you solely relied on a pump for fae you should just facepalm yourself out of the shroomery lol. But with holes, the pump might not even matter lol. As cron says, humidity is really for our own convenience. Fae is where its at!

3 cakes producing 85 grams wet is not really a great yield IMO. Barely average IMO.

FAE means Frequent Air Exchange. Just pumping air in nothing is being exchanged
You need a fluctuation in a fruiting chamber. You want as much fresh air as allowable coming in without losing so much humidity that your substrate dries out without manual misting - or more than is convenient.
