My cheap invention for creating humidity through SGFC drill holes

Inflating needle+flame+spray bottle=high quality sprayer


All I did was heat the needle(used for inflating balls) while holding it with a pair of pliers. I pushed it into the plastic on the spray bottle when it was hot enough. Make sure your spray bottle is set to an on position because you may not be able to change it after putting he needle in. I placed the needle so one of the holes faces to the right so when I put it through the drill holes I get one spray out of the front of the needle, and the other water spray at a right 90 degree angle. It’s great because you don’t have to take the lid off of your fruiting chamber which causes you to lose humidity. After using this, the humidity raises rapidly within a couple of minutes!

I always used perlite for the humidity in a sgfc And took the lid off to mist.

I use perlite too, this just keeps the walls and perlite moist without having to take the lid off. It also keeps you from spraying the cakes if you have a species that requires that. Every time I remove the lid I lose about 15-20 percent humidity, I have a fan for air flow

What mushroom doesn't want to be misted? That doesn't sound right. Think you're solving a problem that don't exist. And why a fan? None of this sounds right.

Losing that RH is a good thing. It lets evaporation happen. If you're having problems with RH you need more perlite or to just mist more. There's nothing wrong with taking the lid off your FC. You can't see worth a damn through a tub anyway so monitoring your flush requires taking the lid off.
And ditch the fan. It's a passive system.

First of all, big deal... Second of all why are you even measuring humidity.
And also no fan, follow directions for success

It’s an electric heater that pushes the air out like a fan, it’s cold where I’m at. That’s also part of the reason my humidity drops. I’ve noticed the humidity is maintained more with it off, probably because the heater pushes out dry, heated air. I still open the lid and fan it a few times a day but I have a huge German Shepherd and two cats so I try to only do it 2-3 times a day.

Because I’m cultivating Tampanensis and Galindoi....just trying to give people ideas. Wasn’t really expecting the hostility.

Clean more. I have a husky with a skin condition who is also currently shedding his coat. I have to sweep twice a day. Sometimes that's what the job requires.

OK, So why don't you mist a panaeolus substrate or in this case, cake?
Fanning isn't gonna do anything for you, that's why you put a million holes in the tub bud.

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t realizing that cleaning more would make things cleaner!

You didn't say substrate or cake...you said, "what mushroom doesn't want to be misted?". Pan fruit are damaged by water and will likely abort/deteriorate if misted.

They tend to abort when you do.

You're still supposed to fan to lower the RH and allow evaporation.

Well you're coming up with a complicated solution to fix a simple problem. I'm telling you what I do to solve the same problem.

If people tried solving problems that didn't exist in the real world the same way they do fruiting mushrooms we would have gas lines teathered to our cars because hitting up the gas station is too much work with jobs and stuff

Well i guess it was bad wording. This guy's got cakes in a chamber talking about not wanting to mist them. I'm talking about that.

fruit cakes inside mini monos . who needs a sgfc or holes. or gadgets to fix a problem that can be bypassed easily.
without messy perlite too and can p tamps fruit off cakes efficiently? thin substrates, with sand a la mycolorado, is kickass

As if a humidity drop is a bad thing now and then.
I would remove the lid just to get the fluctuating humidity lol
