I believe good humidity is 60-95% just mist the cakes till they glisten take off the tape on the bottom holes don't run a fan in the room and just be patient over baby sitting will cause issues with a good grow... also the more cakes the better in a bigger tub but don't over due it you know

Ignore the Oyster mushrooms, I was just using them as a proof of concept.

Take the tape off and I think you need more perlite 4-6" I believe besides that looks good if you soaked the perlite just the misting of the cakes will be enough to keep it damp ... just worry on how the cakes look as for misting if they look a bit dry make them glisten I don't even fan just from misting will keep the stagnet air moving around

Its not getting as much FAE as maybe it should, being in your corner. And that is a measly amount of perlite. Go about 4 times as much and remove that tape and things will get better. Also, as mentioned above, a more loaded SGFC does better than a mostly empty one.

You can't see it due to the tape, but I actually do have at least 4 inches of damp perlite, maybe even 4.5. I made sure I drained it thoroughly prior to putting it in the tub.
As I said previously, I tried the tape per RR's response to another RH issue someone else had thinking it could work.

That thread maybe years outdated 99% humidity isn't necessary what psych said is true also if you could center it more, even get it out from the wall more that will give more airflow

Humidity is one of those things that you really shouldnt worry yourself with much. Especially with a properly built SGFC. If it was done right, then you are pretty well assured that RH will be where it needs to be. Hygrometers lie too. If you did it right, then there should be no worries. Just be patient. How long has this been fruiting?

Update. I went back and checked, and I did not in fact have 4 inches of Perlite. That mistake has been adjusted and there is now the required amount.
I'm worried about temperature mostly. I live in a top floor apt and don't have central ac, so everywhere but my room has been over 85 degrees, even at 2am. My bedroom with the ac unit is currently the only place I can control the temp. Stupid post-Labor Day heat wave. It's in the corner because I have nowhere else to place it now. I can put it back in the main room where it has been living, but it'll be over 80 in the chamber. I'm trying to follow RR's advice and keep the temp no higher than 80, and the RH above 90.

Ok, the tape is off and there's now 5 inches, measured with a ruler of Perlite. Thanks for the tips! Hopefully this does the trick, but if there's anything else anyone thinks of, please let me know.
