Humidity at 89%, still getting overlay?? Help!!
    #5260588 - 02/03/06 08:06 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hey guys, well all was going well with my new tit, but overnight the humidty took a plunge and i had to put the cool mist right in the terarrium, now RH has sleadily been 88-89% all day, and temp is at 68-69.  So all seems well, just before i went to work i scraped and dunked a cake that had overlayed due to the RH drop last night.  When i left Rh was at 89.1%, now when i get home its at 88.9% and the cake seems to be dried out and overlayed again.  I am runnning a cool mist 24hrs and also have perlite in there, i dont know what else to do, can anyone help, i searched, but it seems every post contains the word "humidity" so it was of little help.  Someone lemme know what to do, or where i went wrong, thanks.

P.S.  This same cake had popped a pin yesterday morning, but after drying out overnight, it blued heavily, and now even after dunking seems to be too dry again. :confused:

i can try to help ya out, but ive only ever tried cakes 1 time then when to casings.. but with casings you dont get overlay (as far as i know) due to low humidity. its from incubating it for to long after you cased it. i would post a pic so someone who is good at cakes can see whats going on and help ya out better.. but for casings if you have overlay you get a steril fork and do some deep scraping to brake up the overlay so the mycilum can get threw. but like i said im not a cake expert, and dont have any experince w/ overlay.. just what ive read.. hope this helps ya out some.

l8r,
will

Unbelieveable but true most peeps have no clue what overlay actually is, they seen to confuse it with total colonization! :frown:
How much water/h2o2 do you have in your perlite? Also are you plumbing your coolmist air into your chamber? If thats the case you may want to put that baby on a timer because they actually can lower RH by the introduction of too much air. FYI coolmists are only capable of producing a RH of 80-85% on there own in most cases.
If you want read my pinning strategy to learn what overlay actually is. :wink: GL
