How often should I mist a casing during pinning?

Hello. Im trying to keep optimal moisture on casings in a fruiting chamber that is 73 degrees and 86% humidity to initiate pinning. To do this, i find myself misting the casings 3-4 times per day with a spray bottle. Is this too much you think? IF so, what would be the right ammount? Thanks!

i don't mist at all after i see pins.i mist heavy as i'm innitiating pinning, but not after. prolonged moisture on the caps causes aborts. so make sure you don't overdue it and make sure to only spray the walls of the terrarium.

So dont spray directly on it? I directly mist the casings 3-4 times a day (was going too until i see pins). Wrong?

no thast good. ONCE you see pins then stop misting the casing directly. if it really dries out for some reason thats when you start stragegic misting around the pins. that shoudl be a problem if you misted enough before any pins popped up. feel free to mist the fc walls and such still though. just not the mushies themselves

Moisture is essential to a healthy crop. You can mist your casings as often as necessary to maintain adequate casing moisture. The key is to mist lightly - don't blast the pins with a direct spray.

I mist right up until primodia formation then quit until pins are set then I get right back on my water delivery schedule because developing fruitbodies require ALOT of water! dog is spot on again! BTW Prolonged moisture in the caps is an indicator that there is inadequate FAE's.
-------------------- Getting the most out of your casings!, A pinning strategy. 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!!!"
