dry side FC. most effective watering and monitoring?
    #24915485 - 01/15/18 11:08 AM (7 years, 2 days ago)

so certain little areas of the  mycelium are yellowing a bit. and the middle substrate still visible got that lighter look associated with drying.i over watered the surface a bit flipped the lid and off set it to get some evaporation. 

i also pitted the substrate so that the water could reach the under layers quicker and pool less on the surface. humidity is unstable and i don't want this trend to continue. keeping a close eye helps, but what do the pros do?

i followed all steps, but deviated from the colonization to encouraging pinning steps because i started to encourage pinning before full colonization. I've gotten somewhat mixed reviews on that.

i believe the biggest mistake i made was allowing the lid to be completely off when i was encouraging pinning. i think the over watering i did was appropriate, but i fear a slippery slope. -going to wet, or too dry. I'm going to begin humidifying the grow room. it's quite dry because conditions are currently snowy and my lips are chapped in the house. humidity is like <10%. i believe i can get it 62%

House humidity doesn't really matter. That why theres a fruiting chamber. My cuticles are bleeding from how dry it is here. My lips are fucked too.

Full colonization encourages pinning regardless of what you do with conditions

OK, so can i revert back to pure colonization encouragement and just check for appropriate moisture levels?
i don't seem to be screwed, but i don't want the next move to be wrong.
