no, it dries out the casing to quick and the shrooms dont like that.

Get it up to around 85% if you are fruiting.

Gets that low, yes spikes is fine but I would not recommended sustaining that low RH.

You can lay a sheet of wax paper over each casing to raise the humidity in that specific tray. RR

If you guys look in nature mushrooms only form when conditions are right and when these conditions are optimum then thats when you will see mushrooms proliferate!

Check my signature.. I have a greaT MARTHA SETUP.. I added another small humidifier and made my ultra sonic humidifier turn on for 15 minutes every other hour then 15 minutes every 45 minutes every other hour. It took a week of playing with my settings to make sure everything was right. and every now and then i still have to mist to raise it. Everything is perfect wetness.
If you dont have an ultra sonic thats what your missing.. you MUST have one for the martha

i'm not sure why you MUST have an ultra sonic for a martha type FC... i've only got a hunter coolmist and my RH never falls below 95% unless i forget to fill the tank. Although, i do have a badass coolmist. When i do casings i'll probably have to regulate it alone with a timer. Check your connections and FC seals. But like hyphae indicated, 75% is not optimal humidity. The yields(in my experience) will suffer dramatically. So, if you're going to do something, might as well do it right. Otherwise, if you're like me, it'll never seem like its worth it.
