The bones of it are pretty simple.  To maintain conditions that pans require, you need proper heat, fae and periodic rh drops throughout the day. 

The heat is provided by the substrate itself by using an appropriate sized bag that is basically just big enough to allow for the flush and kept at room temps of 71-73F.  The fae happens passively with the many tiny holes all over the bag.  There’s also a blast of fae along with rh drop when a box fan pointed at the bags from 5 feet away goes on via a cycle timer for 3-5 minutes every two hours.  That’s it for conditions.

There’s also the need for clean cultures and appropriate substrate.  Ime, pans are less tolerant of dirty cultures especially when using manures.  Worm castings have been VERY forgiving where manures have not been.  WC’s are what I’ll be recommending in the write up.

Thank you for a complete answer regarding worm casings, and I will strongly consider these in the future. People have mentioned them before but not as clear as you did.

Any thoughts on rabbit poops? I've been collecting.
