Casing Humidity
    #8862558 - 09/01/08 07:42 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

Should the casings be placed in a tub with perlite or does the casing surface provide all the humidity needed.  Some guides say to use both others say not to.  Some guides say humidity should be at a constant 95 and others say casings need to be at 85-95 variants...I cannot afford a high quality barometer or hygrometer and have heard the cheap ones are to innacurate.  This also means i dont have money for an ultrasonic humidifier.

Just trying to get a handle on all of this...Any and all info on proper casing humidity would be most appreciated.  And im looking forward to reading everyones replies...If possible list how you humidify your casings what methods you use....I am not using the 50/50 Only Verm as a surface....also what are everyones thoughts on the bottom layer...some wet it and some leave it dry...what are your experiances with this...also a birdie told me that you dont have to sterilize the verm  on top of the casing layer and should still acheive success...and was wandering if it worked for others.

If i were to sterilize the Verm in a Pressure CANNER do i need to add water to the jar of verm, or do you just put the jar in water.

It's been said to fruit cakes in 98% humidity , cased subs between 85%-92% .

I fruit my cased subs around 95%:thumbup: Just keep an eye on the casing layer and make sure it doesn't get saturated .

I use a coolmist and US to humidify my FC , a greenhouse.

I've never sterilized verm when used as a casing material .

use hydroton aka geolite aka lavarock. the shit is less of a hassle comparing to perlite or verm and gives just of a good amount of humidity. when casing dont use saran use foil. make a foil lid for your caseing and make several holes. if you dont have a incubator simply put it in your closet / in a dark spot at room temperature(which is normally 70-80F..?) wait 2-4 days and peak at it. if you see the myc coming up threw the casing layer..throw it in the FC. before you do that be sure to do some patching for an even pinning

usually..you want your RH to be at the least 90% or more and the temp 68F-76F for fruiting.

everything should be sterilized

start cutting some lawns man..for the love of your babies!!

GL!
