Advice on field capacity and misting
    #28686196 - 03/04/24 01:05 PM (3 months, 21 days ago)

Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me with my fruiting shrooms. Does the substrate need to be misted if it’s at field capacity?

If your sub was prepared with proper FC and your tub is dialed in than it should produce ideal surface conditions by itself. Sometimes an initial light misting to establish micro beads of water on the surface can be useful but you shouldn’t have to be misting frequently or really at all until after first flush. If the surface keeps drying out you need to dial back FAE until it balances out. And no fanning!

Here’s a good thread that should help you get a better feel for it, and some pics of your tub will help to see how your surface is looking.
