pftek first stage humidity question
    #23942714 - 12/20/16 08:42 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all, Newbie here.
Thanks to all you forumites, I'm succesfully on the road to my first grow (B+)! After about 7 days, I've got silver-dollar sized mycelium in most of my jars and so far no sign of infection. Hope I didn't just jinx that...
Anyway, I'm keeping these things in a warm room which seems to be working. But I'm wondering about humidity. I live in the northeast, and what with winter and radiator heating, our house is pretty dry. Do you think this may lead to drying out of the BRF substrate prematurely? I figure I can dunk n roll before birthing, but I'm wondering about the gas exchange during this phase.
Also thinking about any solutions that might allow me to avoid putting a humidifier in there. I'd thought about moistening paper towels and laying them over the lids, but then I worry a bit about infection. maybe just spraying water in that general direction a couple times a day?
Appreciate any thoughts, and thanks so much for building such an amazing body of collective knowledge!

Leave them alone. Fo not lay paper towels or mist a jar.
Humidity isn't a colonizing issue.

You can't dunk and roll before birthing, it has to be out of the jar first, especially to roll. Even if you wanted to fill the jar with water for your dunk, you'd still need to birth it and get rid of the dry verm layer first. It will have bacterial endospores and mold spores on it.

Like Mushboy said, it won't dry out during colonization due to low humidity. It will dry out from the mycelium using the water however, that's what the dunk is for, to rehydrate.

Honestly, you can probably forget all this humidity stuff, even in the fruiting stage. Just don't keep it saturated, but don't let it dry out either.
