Hey, Aluminum Can (I'm gonna call ya can man)
if your doing casings , my gorilla freind finds that extra humidity is not necessary if you Know how to tell the proper level of moisture in the casing itself. He just mist his casings
and fans. Don't misunderstand what i'm saying here. Naturally
if you humidity chamber has to large of a volume you will need something else to provide humidity, but with a 10 gal tank you should be fine without any additional means of humidification. Thats What my hairy freind tells me.
hope this helps

i know that but the humidity in so cal is about 13% so i think some humidity well help! i appreciate youre help though, if i didnt already know that. i want a setup that works really well though, like better than nature would have it. this etup diffenately wont be better but it will be alot better than fanning and misting all the time, and having smelly rocks. i know quit a bit about groing and i also know that i hate perlite!!! and answer this, how can perlite be the best if theres no way of controlling it properly? if you add too much then you have to either scoop some out or un-seal youre lid that you worked so hard to make artight. have you ever heard of the perlite mold either? youll get little black dots all over youre perlite and it can and will spread to youre mycelim in a short period of time. i also think if youre going to get really serious about groing then perlite isnt good at all. think if you have alot of terrariums, it will be a hassle to fan all of them, like if you have a job or want to live youre life. and what if you wanted to make a closet? you know where you take some shelves and seal the off with a plastic cover and put dozens of casings on it then perlite wont work. i have the ability to grow alot of mushrooms (i can practically make a lab if i wanted) so i would rather take the easy way and use a refillable ultrasonic humidifier, and not use perlite. i think most of you will soon move away from perlite also when you decide to get serious. if you believe you wont then dont tell me cus i wont care and dont tell me if you think i should use perlite either cus i wont care about that either. the reason i posted this was to find out the three questions i had but instead im hearing "use perlite, its the best". so stop telling me to use perlite!!! its never worked the way i wanted it for me (maybe im an idiot) but now ive found an eisier way so im going to use it.
just because you stick feathers up youre butt does not make you a chicken.

that pantyhose idea is so simple it makes me feel like an idiot for not thinking about it.

you really gotta to get a hygrometer!!!
it isnt 13% like you think it is....it is @ 70% right now.

lets talk about OVER - KILL!!
In reply to:
how can perlite be the best if theres no way of controlling it properly?
with any humidification device, there will be fine tuning necessary to calibrate the right humidity.
and i can assure you that perlite is alot easier to calibrate than a cool mist.
how hard is this? 1" of wet perlite on the bottom & 1" dry perlite on the top of the wet inch.
In reply to:
if you add too much then you have to either scoop some out or un-seal youre lid that you worked so hard to make artight.
what the hell are you talking about???
In reply to:
have you ever heard of the perlite mold either?
perlite is non-nutritive...the only mold i can possibly think of is the the result of really stagnent water but that can be easily fixed with an air pump.
In reply to:
have you ever heard of the perlite mold either? youll get little black dots all over youre perlite and it can and will spread to youre mycelim in a short period of time.
LOL!!!....dude...your "mold" isnt mold!!! those are spores!!!
In reply to:
i think most of you will soon move away from perlite also when you decide to get serious
b4 you waste your money or get caught shoplifting in your attempt to get "serious"....maybe you should get some books on mushroom cultivation and start studying cuz you aint foolin no-1 here.
In reply to:

...little do you know.....
In reply to:
(maybe im an idiot)
BINGO!!
