Question about RR's wax paper and RH.

myc is coming through the casing, looks mostly like white dots, I am hoping hyphal knots.
Been in the fc for 3 days now. Casing doesn't look dry. But the RH says only 70. I am not using perlite. But am using wet paper towel and spraying the sides often. Will the low rh affect my pins and would RRs method of using wax paper work for this and is it too late for that?

Actually, several layers of damp paper towels work almost as well as perlite. I discovered this by accident by using paper towels to place near where the humidifiers were causing drips. There was always a big puddle of water on the floor of the mini greenhouse, but a few layers of paper towels, and they never got saturated. They absorb the water, and then evaporate it away again. Of course, they need to be changed out every few days.
Wax paper layed over the top of any tray will help to hold humidity high right at the surface where it's needed most. Lift it to fan, and replace the wax paper every two days or so. RR

Perlite has of course much more surface area so evaporation will be considerably high simple physics. Get some perlite and do it right bro! Although the RH reading is 70% it is much higher beneath the wax paper so the primordia formation. White dots are what your after bro WTG!!! BTW paper towels are indeed contam hotels unless changed frequently I will never recommend them. GL

You should just watch out with the paper towels getting contaminated! I had a paper towel in a old box I was germinating seeds on started growing brite purple so it could have been Fusarium sporothichiodes . I had to put a doctor mask on moved it right outside in a garbage bag covered inside and out with bleach and into the garbage fire-pit (maybe not the best idea?) and bleach my whole room down. Lost ten seeds but i wouldn't risk spinal meningitis for a few seeds. Just make shur every few days ya toss out the paper towels and look out for brite colors like pink and purple!
