my Humid temp is at a steady 80% with perlite in my birthing chamber, but from what I read it needs to be at a 100%, and I used the BRF tek, can anyone help to bring the humid factor up ?

Is it ok to eat fresh ones ? just picked the picked the biggest one today to let the rest catch up and was wondering about dry or fresh which is better to eat ? I would think a mush is a mush, right? plus a lil cautious about the fresh weight 21.4g's, is that to much for one person to eat@fresh weight ? lol if this is the wrong place for this type of question, I apologize

hope someone can help me with this question I have ? I will be attemping the mono tub stye and and gonna try to follow RR tek for grain spawning but one question remains he has 1 of 2 parts I will be following, the tyvek or the polly fill lid one, how does one see the holes after the PC if the holes are covered with tyvek ? can I put that polly fill in the PC too ? I have no access to buy the rubber ports, oh ya is sylicone just as good as tyvek and polly fill, I know would have to get sylicone for high temp at least 400 dgrees right? thank you in advance

I filled my PC just to cover the bottom rack as the water was just touching the jars, and ran it for 90 min @15psi,I had enough water left at the bottom of PC, so I'm good to go !

I only got one plate with my PC, yes I seen the lines your talking about on the inside of the PC fill to the 1st line right ? but today I did allot of reading ppl have stated don't let your jars sit in water, is this true ? also I don't have a spacer that would bring my jars to that level. also one more question if ya have the time to answer ? I've made 4 1\8" holes in each my quart\litre jars, I get that hole putting tyvek over the lids rather under, here's my question am I still able to see the holes after PCing them ? for inoculation. I'm gonna follow RR tek and use 2 tyvek pieces, what are your thoughts ? thank you in advance ! I had another thought what about 1piece of tyvek then PC, then I inoculate through the holes could I use a piece of micropore tape would that work? I know some of these questions were prolly asked but, I just want to do it right the 1st time, like that saying, measure twice cut once !

If did the silicone way I would have to wait at least a 24hr period ? but I timed it for my grain to be done today, they've been soaking for 24hrs, waiting would that contam or harm them in any way if I waited another 24hr, I'm game to trying the silicone way what ever helps.
