It's time...
Time for agar.
MS syringes are not 100% clean, they usually have some bacteria riding along with them. A great way to get rid of this is to isolate healthy mycelium away from the bacteria by the use of agar.
If your grow does contain bacteria (which I think it does), it is not totally worthless. It may have a slightly lower BE (Biological Efficiency) which can result in smaller yields and less potent mushrooms. I have a tub on flush 4 right now that was spawned with grain jars inoculated with a MS syringe.... She's still trucking.
So don't fret about my above comments...
Learning agar and the use of a Still Air Box (SAB) will bring your grows to the next level. If you are serious about mycology - now's the time to take a spore print or fruit to clone and get busy!

INDEED! agar work turned this into a true hobby(for me) opposed to a 'grow' potential bacteria issues aside, i think you have a great start. keep it up!

Btw OP don't buy a cheap hygrometer complete waste of money, at least buy a cheap analogue hygrometer to satisfy your wants.
Btw nice grow keep them updated coming, what species?

Thanks, cube B+ ..... I went with that because that seemed to be th "starter" species, to grow with. If I would have known it was quite easy to cultivate, sterilility being the most intense thing to pay attention to, I would have tried something else.

Thanks again bro for all of your input. And if I yield a 3/4 of what you had, I'll be content with that! Lol with the cool whether and the mountains about to have there own light show soon in the north east, I just want to layback and enjoy a few days of camping. I'll throw down a few extra if potency is an issue. But I'll continue to hope for the better of it all and count my self as lucky this time around if it goes down like that.

You don't need a hygrometer, they'll only mislead you. The only RH of importance is at the pinning surface. Keep your grow moist, glistening but not wet. You are already using your eyes, trust them. You'll get to know exactly what your mushies want and when. Misting and FAE are your friends.

Yeah man I read that somewhere else that the surface sould be glistening, which it is. All polyfil holes have the right evaporation signs also. But I've been definitely keeping an eye on it, lol I've had a hard time not watching every little thing.
