about temp. & humidity

so i read on a few of the FAQ guides that you want your temp during the 75-80. if your temp is a little lower it will just take longer. i put up a different thread about something else and one of the people that answered said that 72 degrees was the best. mine has been around 72 to 75. does humidity play a factor right now. my humidity is pretty high. it was near 90 does that play a good or bad part?
I'm still new bare with me ha ha

what stage are you in? are you fruiting? colonizing?
if you are fruiting the ideal temp is based on the strain IMO
if you are colonizing the temp doesnt really matter that much IMO
if you are fruiting you want your Rh to be as high as possible IMO
if you are colonizing the Rh doesnt need to be very high, just whatever the Rh is in your house will probably be fine IMO
the reason i put "IMO" after all of my statements is because all of these subjects are heavily debated around here, i am simply offering what i believe to be true

Please take the time to reread your post before you send them.
During colonizing the general consensus is to keep it between 75F and 85F. My personal best results seem to happen at 82F. During this time humidity is not something to worry about; do not add to the RH of your colonizing jars.
During fruiting you'll want your temperatures lower than colonizing, 70-75F would be a good goal here. You want your humidity as close to 100% as possible. Most hygrometers seem to cap at 95% so if you can get it that high your in good shape. You do not want to go below 85% at all.
Hope this helps.

If you colonize at say 83 deg and the ambient air temp is at 79 can you fruit at temp? I don't want to have to crank my central a/c in order to lower the temp. I'll spend a ton on the power bill. Any thoughts? Also, if I try to grow some stones in a bag I read again that the temp needs to be in 74 deg range. Thanks

thats ok, it may take a hair longer for them to colonize but they will still colonize just the same, you dont need to worry about it, the differences in colonization time are insignificant when dealing with a range of 72-82 IMO
