Humidity is important. I use a inacurate supposedly but I think it is acurate lizzard tank hygrometer.

ok whats the use in getting a hygrometer if i dont need one? like said they are stuck in side of a clear tub that has a black trash liner in it, i put holes on the sides and then i stuff them with polyfill.....im follwing direction off of a tech that was sent to me by micomonster.com if you read hyphaes tek it states to stop misting after you see myc poking threw the topes because this is the point of full saturation.

a fan would help, but not a ceiling fan. you need the case to retain humidity.

Man you got that all messed up bro, go back and read again this time more slowly and clearheaded. Your fruits will only grow as fast as the moisture you provide them remember there 92% moisture that my friend is the limiting factor! Mist them, but don't drown them

If RH is optimal (95-98%) then mist may not be necessary at all during the pin setting stage as long as it was at "near saturation" leading into pinning. A myceliums aggressiveness is also a big factor in timing.

Hi, I'm running ralphsters AM's, They are slow to pin and take a week to mature. Your's look good!! I'm getting two strains, one monster with pointed caps, and one small with round caps. The small's are 80% of the cakes, rye. I cloned the monster, we'll see what happenes. Mist as needed, you'll be fine!
Nice buzz, real clean, not speedie!
