98-92 is probably fine.

Cross posting from cake wars.  This was a homemade multi spore syringe to PF Tek.  The only thing I really did different from cubes is I'm fruiting it in the jar and I left some verm on top for a make shift casing.

I have pan cyan pins!  Temp is still low 70s and high 60s.

And in a 12 quart dub water tub too!  No lights, no heat.  No misting, just the initial pf dunk.  No added nitrogen and no casing.



But it wasn't the one I planned to enter

Hmmm it seems I have a real hard time getting above 95. The whole tub is filled with fog I cant see anything. Either the sensor is wrong or having holes and a cracked lid makes it hard to reach 98. Which one you think it is

I would think it's the sensor, could you post a picture of the setup?

Its a 30l ez dial monotub i modified last minute cuz i think it just wont work well for pans.

I added an inkbird sensor and a reptile fogger and cracked the lid open for a lot more fae.

Also got a fan running in the grow room for 10 minutes per hour on a timer.

Feels like something is wrong that it wont go much above 95% with the fogger at max setting and the whole tub filled with thick fog.

I guess tomorrow ill do a damp cloth test on the sensor and see what it reads.

Other than that do you think theres anything else it could be?

Setup looks good, if you're getting thick fog all the time it's the sensor, I have the same inkbird and in a ez dial tub I had the alarm go off all the time because it was at 99%.

It's not that important that the sensor is wrong, if it wasn't you would have the same alarm go off as well and it's annoying as fuck

I now have humidifiers with sensor, but I still monitor surface conditions to dial in my fogger settings, how is your casing looking? With pans I try to dial it in where no part of the casing ever dries out, but I do not want it soggy or by no means pooling.

Anomalocaris said:

Is that too wet? The fogger ran on high for like 30 mins to reach 94%.  It looks like its a bit much not sure why its taking so long to reach that humidity

---

I think I see some pooling so yeah, I would say that is too much, it is taking that amount of time because the sensor is inaccurate, if I was to guess

I just wrapped the sensor in a damp towel and put in a ziploc bag for 1 hour and it reads 93% when it should read near 98%. So it seems about 5% off which seems right because I couldnt reach higher than 95% with the fogger full steam for a long time.

For my fan in the room running on low I have it running for 8 minutes per hour. Do you think thats good enough im mostly just guessing.

Like I wrote earlier, it's a good thing the sensor is wrong, if it was correct you would have the 99% rh alarm go off all the time.

Keep using the casing as a way to dial in the tub, I have run my fans 15 minutes of every hour and it has done fine. Mine is on the tub though, but the gap you made with the lid resting on the latches should provide pretty good FAE if you run a fan in the room once an hour.

If you get small fruits with small caps it's time to increase FAE, and yes, there's nothing but guessing when we first dial in our tubs, no tub or surrounding environment is the same from house to house, so just keep trying different adjustments until you find what works with your setup, you'll learn a lot during the dial in and you'll come out a better grower on the other side of this.

There's always the next grow if this one fails.

Damn because the fogger ran for so long many times theres a lot of pooled water all over the sides of the tub and yellowish color. Is there something I can do about that or its screwed

Yellow water is from the substrate don't panic, pans really don't like a soggy substrate. So if you can get most of it out by tipping the tub and lower the humidifier it might help, just don't let the casing dry out.

Ok thx for the help. I dumped the excess water outside.

Im learning a lot allready my next one will be a proper dreamer tub. Had to wing it on the fly for that one because It didnt seem like a regular ez dial tub would work

---

Happy to help man, I was right there just a short year ago and it's nerve wrecking A regular ez dial does work, but getting good results takes time and effort.

TTBVI in ez dial.




Bisporus in ez dial.


TTBVI in a dreamer.




Bisporus in a dreamer.


And you're doing the right thing here, learning by doing is the best way to achieve the results you want, keep up the good work bud

Well at least I know now my sensor was 5% off. My fogger was foggin the SHIT out of the tub and never stopping

I also calibrated it at -5 now so a 85 reading means its actually 95. That way  it will never reach the annoying alarm at 100

There you go man, you're dialing in the tubs and your skills, love to see it
