fruiting chambers can be kept humid using a 1-3 inch thick layer of perlite on the bottom below the cakes...you just get a colander from ur kitchen and run the perlite under the faucet in the colander for a while then spread out evenly...if it begins to dry out just put a little water back in. Otherwise I use an ultrasonic mister...those are easy to find on the internets...:grin:

When they are in the jars, leave them alone. No need to raise the humidity at this stage. Keep the heat around 80F.

When they're in the jars, the humidity of the environment outside the jars doesn't matter (just don't put them underwater or in a chamber damp-rid). The temp should be between 70-80F, which is room temp in FL.

And lose the caps. It turns people off when they see it as a subject and it makes it unpleasant to read your post. Proper capitalization and punctuation are designed to make things easy to read.

sorry to be off topic but DAMN twboss registered 4 days ago and 117 posts??? That crazy!! U must be very enthusiastic...unlike me heh heh:cool:

And yea ur right the jars holds its own humidity high but just inside the jar. Try removing any foil or opening up ur inoculation chamber a little to allow for adequate gas exchange...that should help out alot...I had the same problem with my first grow

good luck :thumbup:

If your problem is keeping moisture in the grain jars, it could be your soak/simmer technique before PC'ing. If you have that down, perhaps your GE hole is too large. The largest I've heard used successfully is 1/2". I have drilled mine at 3/8" which seems to work perfectly for me. :rockon:
