RH questions
    #24270873 - 04/25/17 02:51 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I have a SGFC that I keep in my closet but am having trouble keeping the humidity between 90%-100%. Should I soak the perlite again? Or maybe a humidifier that I can post either outside the door or inside the closet.

It's been about a week since the first pin on one of my cakes but doesn't seem to be growing. The cakes usually have a blue tint to it from dehydration but have been misting more 5+ times a day and fanning about 60secs each time I misthink, as well as fanning an additional time or two. Thoughts?

Stop worrying abt humidity.
If you set the sgfc properly, with adequate perlite, and right size, and holes, your humidity is perfect.
The only humidity that counts us right on the surface of your cakes anyway, which you can't measure.
Just mist if it looks dry or discolored.
Soak the perlite if it feels dry, sometimes that happens quickly. Stick your finger in and check.
Don't rely on a humidity reading device. They don't work for this.

And you don't fan a shotgun
It's made for air flow already. Your drying it out.

That sounds very wild. What is your ambient temperature in your house?

Also, I would imagine that all of the cloth and such in your closet is soaking up the moisture. You want air flow happening to utilize the SGFC holes, but maybe tenting it in a larger loose bag is an option.

I look forward to seeing what our myco-theologians have to say about this here.

Good luck

You don't put a sgfc in a tent either.

Temp is usually 78 degrees. So should I take the chamber out of my closet?

Or keep closet door open and just pay closer attention to how dry the cakes look?

90-100% humidity in the air inside of the fruiting chamber is not what is supposed to be sought after.  If built to specs, the design of the fruiting chamber it's self is all that's needed to upkeep proper humidity levels inside of the fruiting chamber.  Let the tool do the work.

What is desired is that 90-100% humidity level at the surface of the substrates.  Which is obtained by getting the substate's hydration level correct (72-77% a.k.a. "field capacity) before sterilization.  This way the correct RH at the substrate's surface level is maintained by evaporation of water from the substrate directly caused by fresh air exchange.

Also, take the chamber out of the closet.  Allow that thing to breathe.

The temps that are comfortable  for living spaces is a good idea. Just comfortable "human" temps

More specifically,  65-72ish, but let's hear some exacts from someone

And no fanning at all? Just mist cakes 4-5 a day?

Maybe 3-4 but just try to be observant of the humidity.

Watch them, check the surface with your eyes, touch them with clean finger.
Dry needs mist, plus the color will be dull
Slightly Moistened is what you want.
Glistening, with a nice sheen
And. If that word. Grosses you out, here it. Is again.

Mmmmoist

No.  Other way around.  Fan about 4-6 times a day.  Mist solely for the purpose of maintaining a nice glisten on the surface of the cakes, and to replace moisture lost from the perlite.
