Id agree about manually misting and fanning, but it’s fruiting. That means I misted and fanned enough during colonization. I read somewhere that if you must and fan until you see pins, your sub has enough moisture to carry it thru the first flush. I do have a question though: do you guys think the humidifier is necessary? It’s been at 46% the whole time while I’ve been misting and fanning and it brought the Martha up to 70%, but I reckon it’s a little higher inside the shoebox because the hose is pointing directly in it.

I think manually misting and doing the dubtub method would work a little better. I think you should finish it like this then do it manually next time 🤷🏻‍♂️. Experimenting is extremely important 👨‍🔬.

you did not have the mister in your first picture when i commented. I was only answering trich he said "why would you ever need to mist or fan unless rehydrating sub?"?
also i see no condensation in that pic... that is the reason i said some thing

yeah bro i see a nice canopy wtf does that have to do with anything i have grown mushrooms on and off for 15 years i have seen a canopy or two why are you de railing this guys thread so hard



we could have left it at

Is nobody understanding that I have a fogger pointed directly at the substrate? Why would I need to mist?

Doing it manually when it works perfectly without that- is in fact, pointless.

I firmly believe dialing in your tubs is the most important thing.

If you know how to get things dialed in properly, why would you ever need to mist or fan unless rehydrating sub?

I agree with everything you said bw86. Just because he's getting results without misting doesn't mean he wouldn't get better results if he did. Even the trusted and experienced growers on here mist when needed. Obviously you'll still get mushrooms if you don't mist but the goal is to get as many mushrooms as possible. It just seems like pure laziness to me.

---

If you get flushes like this, would you still mist and fan?
I never said you do not need to mist; because if you have dry substrate- by all means DO IT. If you have wet sub, FAN IT.





I'm just trying to prove that 0 misting and fanning has good results if you dial your tub in properly.

People get more contaminations with a martha. That's why a lot of people dont use them. I hope you have nothing but good results though...

Good job though trich those are good results! You definitely know what you're doing.

I try my very hardest to be as kind as possible, it makes life so much easier! And I need mycologists friends. I need people to talk to and experiment and make money with and trade sores and equipment with. I’m thinking about teaching my younger brother to grow just so I can have a myco friend in real life
