how in the hell do i control the humidity of my fruiting chamber?
    #7170396 - 07/13/07 10:05 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

yep, so.. i've got a shoe closet setup. it's like a martha stewart closet... but for shoes. anyway.

i just stuck a cool mist inside of it at the bottom. the humidity is already at 100%. i think this is fine for now, as i only just put two test trays in today. it'd be nice for these tests to work out well though, so i'm wondering if 100% RH will be too high for the entire fruiting cycle?

and if yes, how can i control the humidity without creepily sneaking into my basement throughout the entire day to shut the humidifier on and off, on and off...?

please help.

for what you're attempting it's fine. For more advanced control of your humidy, cycle-based timers are the best. IGS-011 from intelligent grow systems is the one I like, runs about $85-99 but has cycle durations from 30 seconds up to 30 minutes on intervals anywhere from 1 minute to 8 hours.

The other thing to keep in mind is that while cakes require 95% or higher humidity, casings only require humidity to be in the 80%-85% range. This is because the "casing" over the colonized substrate becomes _part_ of the humidification system. Once you master that sweet spot of "how wet is wet" for your casings, you'll be golden.
