High humidity in my incubator??
    #8017946 - 02/13/08 02:31 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I've noticed a build up of condensation in my incubator. I had this issue before when I had 4 quarts and 10 pints in there. I just threw in my temp/hydro and it's reading 80F with 88% humidity. I have 3 trays with coco/coffee and WBS being spawned as well as 4 quart jars in the incubator. The trays are covered in foil with holes poked in the top. I feel like such high humidity in the incubator is going to F my spawning substrate. Think this means my coco/coir mix is too wet? What should I do or not do b/c I'm just overreacting :crazy:?

Also note that it's an 18 gallon rubbermaid and with everything in there, it's jam packed.

You do not want any outside humidity during colonization. I can help contaminates geminate and leave homes for bacteria, and cross contamination.

Just crack the lid the tub. Not to much of a worry. Its water pooling in places you don't want it too is the worry.

And I mean, you have holes poked in your tray, so water is constantly being released. Open trays like that shouldn't really be in the same small box as your jars. Its not broken or wrong, its doing what it should.

Cracked the lid and the humidity dropped to 65%. I can deal with that. What's wrong with incubating my jars with my spawn together?
