Holy shit that pinset is surprisingly insane for a grow kit.

Well, I can only come to the conclusion that ready-to-grow kits aren't much appreciated around here..

I was only looking for some feedback and ways to improve these grows.
I'm not a maniac about mushrooms. My only interested is to have some stock for special occasions. And growing my own stuff is always a thrill to me and any hints are welcome.

Heres a picture of my crop a few hours ago


Take care everyone.

I've got a growth kit for Golden Teachers as well. I put it in my room at room temperature and it stayed there for about 10 days before I realized I had to store it in the fridge. And then, after some days of being stored in the fridge, I decided to start working on it. I sterilized some water in an electric kettle, I let the water cool down to lukewarm and I submerged the kit in this water, I re-closed the kit and I stored it in the fridge for 12 hours. After that, I removed the water that was left in the kit, and I put the growth kit in the growbag, and left this setup in my room at room temperature. On the third day, I finally had the money to buy a heating pad and a device that acts as a hygrometer and a thermometer. I put the growbag (with the kit still inside) on the heating pad. I wiped the hygrometer-thermometer with some surgical spirit to decrease chances of contamination, and I inserted this device into the grow bag and I left it on the outside of the growth kit. According to some sources the ideal temperature should be between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius, and the ideal humidity levels should be 90%. It was at 99% humidity and 21 degrees Celsius today before I had put the bag on the heating mat, but after a few hours after I had put it onto the heating mat, the humidity levels got too low (they dropped down to 78%), the temperature was fine though (it was around 25 or 26 degrees Celsius). I wet a towel with a bit of water and put it underneath the growbag, onto the heating pad, and the temperature dropped down to 21 degrees Celsius, whilst the humidity levels rose to nearly 90% again. However, after some time the humidity levels started dropping down again. After that, I turned it off. Seemed like I couldn't maintain the ideal temperature without compromising the humidity levels or vice versa, if I turned the heating pad back on, the temperature would be just right but the humidity levels would be too low. And whenever I turned it off, the the humidity levels would get too high and the temperature would be too low or close to being too low. Today is the 4th day and it's been raining all day, so there's a lot of humidity in my room. The hygrometer marked 93% humidity (I didn't notice, thought it had stayed around 87%), and I sprayed some sterilized water onto the walls of the inside of the growbag, which I think is that due to that reason my hygrometer is marking 99% humidity inside the growbag. Apart from that mistake, I'm getting the feeling that I'm doing something wrong. What are the do's and don'ts if I want my kit to have successful growth like yours? What else do I need to do? Pls help
