    #23193656 - 05/05/16 08:45 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I've done a lot of research still a noob I've made the whole process so far but my problems are keep the sub and casing moist and not drying out. I want to know how you guys keep yours at premium moisture content.my RH runs 89-98 my temp is from 72-78 I have moist perlite at the bottom of my sgfc I fan about 4 times a day and most the same do I need to up it up? Do I need to make a microclimate with anothers shoebox tub? My subs just dry so fast

Thanks for the input and time..TRI

I noticed this same problem with pf cakes, and sometimes you have to dunk them for 12-24 hours to get them hydrated if the cake looks dried out.

use the right moisture content/field capacity

But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go
If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite
The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Misting doesn't cause contams, contams cause contams....

Fully colonized substrates are contam resistant, for the most part.
