My advice, coming from a 10% rh desert guy.. Don't worry about room humidity. Also don't worry about condensation as well to show how good your poly is or isn't. I don't even have my top holes stuffed on tubs. Just means I gotta mist more often, if you see me around on fruiting convos, you'll see me saying how much more important fae is over humidity

OK that makes sense I mist daily but still seem to be having shitty pinsets  I know it's MS but I should be getting more fruits leaf was saying they look healthy and I might be having moisture issues I don't run a fan but maybe I'm not misting enough ... but when I mist it doesn't ever seem to bead I'm just trying to get whatever it is I'm doing wrong

Yes those are too dry. That seems like a substrate prep problem, as well as a misting problem. Substrates should be able to have enough moisture for multiple flushes. This is what it should look like. Always use a flashlight in the beginning when trying to figure out surface hydration.

These are slightly on the dry side. They need to be MISTED DIRECTLY very briefly. Like a couple passes, a foot or 2 high.


These are too wet, and going bacterial. Notice the pools of water and thick rubbery mycelium? They need to be cut back on misting for a bit until at a reasonable surface hydration, and increased FAE.



How it should look. Beads of moisture and/or glistening:

Always use a flashlight to look for glistening!

Cased bulk substrate:

- stareatclouds

YOU MIST DIRECTLY BASED ON WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, AND CATER TO THEIR NEEDS, NOT A SET SCHEDULE OF 2-6 TIMES A DAY!

My edit is fucking up on my phone but on those two tubs of pe the surface looked like that with nice beads of water I had a shit ton of pins then I couldn't mist enough but then it seemed like too much so I stopped but other tubs rarely get those beads

This was taken right after misting. Sometimes you gotta mist to bead. Also for PE, you really should be using a casing. Not sure if you are. Peat based casings FTW for PE. It doesn't colonize it like a regular substrate.

Also for epic pinsets, bottom watering is great. Basically just pour a qt or so of water down the side of the tub and replace it every morning

Nah I don't mind. It won't waterlog if there's a big pinset that needs that water. Bottom watering is only good with big pinsets that the substrate alone couldn't handle. It's the kinda pinsets that turn into a ton of aborts.

Oh OK so after it starts pinning, I get it ... I currently have 13 new tubs that I'm hoping for better results which is why I'm trying to get as much info while they are colonizing... so the humidifier can go ? So should I run with no poly on top and just mist more?

I would say if you can open up ALL holes and keep the substrate glistening at all times than your mushrooms will love you.

It's all about the time you can afford and what your substrate needs IMO...

A moist substrate with loose top holes is what I'm always after!
(That's what she said!)

I also live in a dry climate. Real dry...

My top holes still have poly-but are almost non-existent- and my bottom holes are a lot more loose than most I've seen. My sub stays glistening and I stay happy!

You should do what you're comfortable with. I would be aiming more for keeping them as maintenance free as possible for now. So don't unstuff the top holes, but ditch the humidifier. I was just pointing out that humidity isn't as needed as most people seem to think, just good eyes that can keep the substrate happy

hey man, quick question. I was doing invitro bags a few years back, but the guy I was ordering from isn't around anymore. What type of method are you using with your bags, if you don't mind me asking. Are you preparing them yourself?

No casing. I do a jar of spawn to two of oven treated CVG in a .5ug large bag.



Hopefully that patch will retain the moisture in the drier climate.



Hey WJ, sorry if you covered this, but what about FAE...do you punch a couple holes in the bag or is it that once they pop invitro they don't really need that much FAE as they're busting to go?

If you mean me, it wasn't me xD. The mad season was actually ran by RR and his wife. Once she passed away, RR retired from mushrooms, gave away all his crap, and took down the site.

Are you serious?! Wow that's a trip lol. Sorry to hear about RR's wife though, hopefully he's doing well these days. Do you know where can I get more info about in-vitro bags? I don't want to make my own, that's the thing.
