Martha Fruiting Chamber Did I do it right???

So I've made a Martha from a 2x4x6 grow tent with a 5 head fogger and a fresh air blower set on a humidity gage that hangs directly in the center of the chamber set to 95% rh. Also there is a separate blower set to pump in fresh air for 5 min every 4 hours and a 2600 florescent bulb above the tent on a 12-12 cycle for lighting and my temperature range is between 70 and 75 degrees. My questions are as follows- Are these settings correct or do I need to adjust up or down? My BRF cakes that I introduced into the chamber have seemed to stall out instead of flourishing, do I still need to mist and fan them as well?

Seems like you covered everything to me.
When your introducing your cakes are they colonized and ready to fruit or have they just been inoculated.
because colonization has different parameters as far as humidity,temp etc.
But the fruiting cycle would be what your numbers are telling me.
As far as misting and fanning I wouldn't see the need of that's why you have fresh air pumping in and a fogger. Co2 buildup would be my only concern of you have no way for the air within the be expelled. I guess what I mean is you have all this stuff being added into the chamber but no way for air inside to get out. Like when you set the pump to add fresh air in every 5min every 4hrs I would think that would be a good time to have air blowing OUT as well.
Good luck Happy shroomin!

Thank you! I'll modify the setup to extract the air out and open a lower air vent to bring air in. BTW the cakes were pinning before I introduced them and they seemed to stall out so maybe the co2 is why that happened.

You're putting BRF cakes in a Martha? Do you have like a few hundred of them because if not that is WAAAAAYYYYYY overkill!
For BRF cakes a SGFC is really all you need.
A Martha or fruiting chamber setup is really overkill except for maybe some gourmets like oysters or lions mane. I would honestly just keep it simple for cubes.
5000k-6500k lighting is best for mushrooms.

Highly doubt it was CO2 build unless again we're talking a few hundred cakes or something.

Yes lions mane and oysters as well. Also im trying to get ahold of some Bioluminescent mushrooms and I am using a 6500k florescent light. I would like to figure out why the brf cakes stalled when I transfered them to the martha. Makes me kinda hesitate putting other things in there now but I won't know till I do.

I would say contams or conditions is why they stalled.

I have mine on a humidity controller. Can anyone tell me what is the proper humidity range? I currently have it set to 96-98% RH. is that too high? should I lower it to 85-95% to allow for evaporation??
