Yippie, I've got Pins!

I do need a little advice though, so I'll explain my situation. I hydrated my Perlite, it's nice and moist. I also have a Tropi-caire humidifier running 24/7 to my 90 qt. fruiting chamber, with a dual air pump designed for 50+ Gallon Tanks.
I can't seem to get my RH over 95% though, anyone have any idea why or how I could get it up to 100% RH?

Dont worry about getting your humidity past 95%, 95% will work just fine, i have had some not too bad sized shrooms slightly lower than that.
If u have your cakes rolled in verm thats kept moist this will help things along.
Dont try and get it upto 100% unless you really no what you are doing, could end up with a big mess of water.
I would check your humidity gauge first. Is it analogue and is it calibrate,

My hygrometer is just a cheap Acu-Rite plastic one.

that is your problem right there. digi hygrometers are not accurate at high humidities.

I am currently looking for an adjustable analogue one, when i get it i will calibrate it and compare the readings with my digi one to show not only that they are inacurite, but show how batter effects the acuracy.

I have 2 digi hygrometers, one bought from radio shack in 106QT TiT, the other from Petsmart in 55QT TiT. The bigger tub has always been @ ~95% with GREAT results, although I do mist about once a day. The smaller tub however was able to get up to 99% RH and I just recently birthed 16 PE cakes after a 20 hour dunk, should be pinning any day now..

Sorry, but I had to bring this thread back to life. It's been 6 days and my pins have only grown by like an inch, and don't even look close to being done.
Am I doing something wrong?
