humidity is high all the time according to the humidity gauge (calibrated recently) and air exchange should be enough too i think. I dont know how to be sure. the fan cleans all the air within 5 minutes the most - runs for 15 minutes with 75 minute breaks. Once after they get the fresh air, is 75 minutes too much to wait for the next air exchange? I thought I should do it so that the humidity can build up again. Because once the fan starts the hum. falls down to 60-65% within 5-10 minutes.

I can't say for sure, but I would bet that the humidity cycling can't be good, and is possibly the reason behind the abhorts. **edit (I know what you said is common practice and will be fine for cubies most of the time, but this is where we get to say this is a more "advanced" species) If at all possible, don't sacrifice humidity for air exchange, or vice versa. They should work together, but at the same time be independant of one another. Luckily in the US, we can get coolmists; you could probably rig up, effectively, the same thing using the aquarium pump and perlite in the tub with some holes poked into it near the bottom for exhaust. The biggest factor will be how much air the fish pump displaces over time.

wow, great idea! but wasnt that suggested for increasing humidity? I have high humidity already..But that machine would also help for air exchange, wouldnt it? oh man..this is not as easy as it looks like sometimes..I got a bit confused by all the factors I have to think about. after this grow, which hopefully still will be something, I'll go back to cubes once more, have success and be happy after that..pan cyans again, but I want to get more experienced. this is the 4th time I grow, 1st for pans..

so this is how they look now, I show you only one casing because this is the only one where we can see some action, there's lots of pins but no real growth - I dont know why the others havent done anything yet..2 more have just like 3-5 pins. The trays in the other terrarium (without grass seed) are still just gazing at the terrarium lid and chilling and not thinking about pinning as it seems. Humidity is high, light they have and some air exchange too. Disappointing  I want to recase this tray after I harvest these, but should I scratch it or just apply casing without touching it? help me on this..
 (btw, is the cap freed from the stem already there?)

STOP MISTING.
Humidity should be very low. WET FEET DRY HEADS.
My casings go dry by the time they are matured. Larger caps, shorter stems, thicker stems, good spores.

See how the fruits are falling over from there own weight. This casing has almost expired it's internal moisture into the air, through the fruits, and casing surface. This is the result of a properly moist casing, in a rubbermaid, with the lid slightly opened at the corners and a daily fanning or two with a paper plate, manually. No moisture was added to the casing, or rubbermaid, after buttons formed.
The lid stays on and moisture is built up in the casing through misting, with daily fanning. This is done up to the time you see buttons form. Once a single button forms, I mist NO MORE. There is no humidity generating system. This casing matures on the internal moisture built up before pinning.
The lid is partially opened at the corners after button formation, to allow a RAPID evaporation rate to mature the fruits. Casing>Fruits>Air You have to judge how open the lid is left based on the speed of evaporation(related to how dry the air is in your house).

Yes, you also can use it without the Fog Function. You also can build an Small Hepa Filter into the delivery air.

the casing lay alone provides a "micro-climate". I usually keep my chamber at 90+ humididty, for my casings. But I've been fine having it fall down to the 70's and bringing it back up. It's actually a good thing to let them transpire.

check this out:

this is the third time this happens, second time in the same casing but this is the most healthy looking example and it keeps growing despite the others.

Pick the best looking one and clone it. Try for a second flush too You've already been more successful than you realize.

What do you mean with more successful than I realize?? I dont understand what's happening with the casings anymore. Only one of 8 casings is somewhat producing pins and thats the one on the pics I sent. Other 2 or 3 trays also try but cant..dunno why. They remain small and die after a while. 3 of the casings havent shown any sign yet. They're all under same conditions, I mean humidity and air exchange and light. A little frustrating.. not even 1 mature specimen until now. next try is mexicana A and PESA..after that pan cyan again.(?)
