Too much

Hello,
I know that you need to keep high humidity in an FC, need to have an FAE system in place and need to provide a certain amount of light, but are there any drawbacks to having too much of these things?
e.g
is there a problem with having constant 100RH (for PFTEK cakes)
is there such a thing as fanning too often, too much FAE?
is there a problem with leaving a light directly on fruiting shrooms 24/7?
thanks!
Alex

for pf cakes, 100rh is fine. for casings in a martha you would end up with a lot of pooling water and drenched casings.
air exchange is only too much if it brings down your humidity too much.
i'm pretty sure you want a light cycle as opposed to 24/7 light. things won't be ruined if you leave it on, but it won't be better.

Mushrooms need a dark cycle to process simple as well as complex carbs. I myself have noticed the most growth during the dark period and there a nice reference (pics) showing this out there somewhere if I could only find it! You do not want 100% RH for healthy growth, you need to have some evaporation (transpiration) this is essential for good pinning (fact). AS far as FAE kilgore is right on the mark!

Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

i wanted to say that dark is necessary but i wavered because ive seen people do well with near 24/7. i do believe that darkness is beneficial as yous stated.
i've personally never done cakes. but i like to tell people 95%rh, but some say 100% and they do well. the evaporation factor is true, but acheiving 100% can involve cake evaporation after fanning. it seems like for many people 100% works, but that the 100%rh is likely acheived from evaporation from the cakes and not just perlite or what have you. unless you have an ultrasonic or something, foggers are some bad motherfuckers.
