ok thanks, and do you know if i could get one at wal-mart, thats like the only thing close. also i did dunk and role the cakes before fruiting with the exception of the two bottem left. both have the biggest pins which baffels me. i didnt think they were ready for birthing and i checked on em a day later and i seen that pin and another one that fell off inside the jars. guess i was wrong. but i am going too dunk those also after the first flush.

Dunking won't hurt pins, but rolling them in dry verm will tear them up. Just let them float while you get the perlite damp. RR

Keep fanning every twenty minutes or so until the pins are dry. It won't take long. RR

Johnnyboy, no, that will be fine, provided it warms up into the 70's during the day when your lights are on.
nk, why hot water? Cold tap water is fine. Anyway, as long as you drained it well, it will hold your humidity just fine. As soon as there's no water on the pins, they're good to go. I would have taken the time to drill a few holes in the FC, but you can easily leave the lid a bit crooked for constant air exchange between fannings. If you have three to five inches of well drained perlite in the bottom, your humidity will be in the upper nineties.
It also helps to rake your fingers through the perlite to create furrows and fluff it up. This increases the surface area that is exposed to the air, thus it evaporates more moisture. Some growers tend to pack down the perlite to make it nice and flat, and that is counterproductive. RR
