My Martha

My Martha is a tall one and I have an ultrasonic cool mist that runs 30 minutes every 2.5 hours. I have a drain that goes in there to catch the water. My humidity is usually 95% to 98% of cakes. What is the best way to bring fresh air into the system?
Thanks

I'm no expert, but shouldn't your cool mist be bringing in fresh air?

yeah, ditch the ultrasonic and just run a coolmist 24/7. that should cover fae and humidity.
then again, if youre putting cakes in a martha, you might need both to get that humidity up to the 90s.

I have one too, they are made by sunbeam (usually i know mine is)
For my FC I just have it run for a min every 12 hours (20 gal tub) and it works fine for me for FAE and humidity / moisture content.
You should be fine with it running like it is now

everyone has to have a different setup based on the environment they live in and casing vs cakes.
use a big fishtank pump or 2 thats enough for fae just bump up the time your ultrasonic runs if the humidity drops.

I have one humidifier that is an ultrasonic cool mist. I am not sure I just run 30 min every 2.5 and they have been good. My one cake I tripped around (1 half pint cake) gave me 10 big ones. I think it was because I gave it a glowstick and told them all thank you for the trip same size cake that flushed after that I did not talk to. It only gave me two... I have like 80 half pint cakes and 4 rectangle cakes with 10 half pints per cake. It is cool 
I have finally found a hobby I like doing 
Peace

You can increase your head stash if you cased instead of did cakes.
Cakes are meant more for the just a few for the small growers. If you going to grow 10+ cakes (in your case like 80?) you might as well just case them
I would also consider poo, but your on the road to a great hobby

i would recommend you do what i do - mainly because it is very cheap and very easy and gets pretty good results.
get a large rubbermaid style container (48 litre/12 gallon) put 1 inch of perlite in, add a little bit of water. put lid on rubbermaid, fan twice a day (even with casings) and get lots of shrooms!
if you prefer automated FC's then you have a good setup.
just my 2 cents

If he's already got a Martha and an ultrasonic, why would he go back to tubs? Better that time/money be invested in going to casings as babo911 suggested.
Back to the original question, add a coolmist.
If you really want to go crazy and enjoy making stuff, then agar's bucket tek is totally cool. I just built mine and it rocks.

What are the benifits of poo? I was just wondering. I use the BRF method as of now.
