General advice on misting needed
    #23169430 - 04/29/16 02:31 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I won't be able to throw a pic up this time. Monotub setup though probably a pretty solid 60% since casing about 4 days ago.

usually i can see condensation on the sides of the tub and gathered on the lid in places. the top of the casing layer and mycelium usually look like it's covered with gems of little beads of condensation. not pooling but still visible. loose poly up top and tightly packed bottoms. Checking it out now all that's really evident is some of the condensation on the mycelium. everything else is dry looking.  I'm thinking about misting. basically wanna hear what's up to date concerning misting.

do i mist the sub or the sides? what should I watch out for besides pooling? what's sufficient? I may not need to...regardless good info to have.

I am new but what I do is mist the walls and top of the lid then I mist over the substrate and let it fall down lightly onto the sub. Then I fan and put the lid on and watch for evaporation on the surface.

from what I've read, anything but distilled. it leeches the nutrients from the substrate, if I'm not mistaken.

Misting the walls does nothing. condensation has to do with temp differences not rh. notice how if you pour hot water into a container it gets condensation immediately and intensely.

You want your sub misted indirectly. the evaporation off of the sub is what is the pinning trigger. not evaporation off the walls or anything like that. I would make sure your sub is fine and glistening. but if it has water on the surface and isnt pooling it sounds perfectly fine. :thumbup:

The bonds and ties of the life we know break easily. But through eternity one bond remains; the bond of fellowship.
The fellowship of atoms,
of star dust in its endless flight, of suns and worlds,  of gods and men.
The clasped hands of comradeship unite in a bond eternal; the fellowship of spirit.
