My first cake :)
    #5956142 - 08/12/06 11:07 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)




Dunked it overnight, rolled it in verm, sprayed the verm lightly, sprayed the walls of the FC, and set it on top of a jar with a little moist verm in it. Humidity's only reading at 50% right now, hopefully it'll increase, dunno what else I could do to make it more humid in there. I sprayed the sides of the FC too. I couldn't have done it without Shroomery, thanks for all your help guys! 5 more cakes should be in there within the next 3 days (2 are dunking right now). :smile:

Congratulations! If that's damp perlite there, the humidity should pick up. Looks like you barely have an inch thick layer though. May want to level it off at about 1.75-2 inches and have no water flatong around in there. Just damp perlite. (:

Yeah, it's only about an inch deep.. it is damp though, strained it, no standing water. Should I go ahead and add another inch layer of perlite?

Ya, pull that cake out for a second and dump some more perlite in there. It's cheap as hell and will boost your humidity right up. You especially want more cause your container looks tall.

I added another thick layer of perlite, the walls are all beading with lots of moisture, it feels humid as hell in there but the thing's still reading 58%. Is it more of a chance of it being fucked up or it actually not being humid enough in there?

if you added more depth to the perlite and its damp you'll be fine... your hygrometer may suck, a lot of them do I know my last one was bad. Theres a way to test it, i dunno where the link is i think hippiechick posted it... use the search to try and find it. your cake looks nice man, keep up the good work!

Get a Masons Red Liquid Hygrometer, most accurate one you can have.

I love mine. (:

Either that, or re-calibrate your hygrometer. If everything in there is moist, there's condensation on the walls, you should be up quite a bit higher. The condensation on the walls would tell us that.

There's a guide to doing it here:
