We're The Shit....kinda shitty?
    #9388870 - 12/07/08 10:36 PM (15 years, 3 months ago)

A FOAF ordered a bag from Were The Shit....had to send an e-mail questioning when they should expect arrival, since it had been just about a month after the order was placed, about a week after that, the bag arrived.

First two casings dried out, (though they were misted for 45mins. every 2 hours)....buddy says his current spawn, (popcorn to Hpoo/straw is still in incubator) is starting to pull away from the sides before even being ready for the FC.)

There is DEFINITELY in humidity in the incubator....as everything else has dew drops...same with FC....but they still dry up.

don't blame WTS for your problems with substrate drying out.

That is not their fault, it is yours.


Do you understand equilibrium?  If the humidity in the FC was high enough, equilibrium would be established and thus, H2O would not leave the poop.

First, you should NEVER incubate bulk substrates-allow them to colonize at normal room temperature. 

Second, water drops on the sides of a tub only indicate a temperature differential and nothing else.

Third, substrate moisture levels are the growers responsibility.  Nobody can make a substrate that doesn't dry out.

Fourth, pulling away from the sides is normal.  Remember, the mycelium EATS the substrate.  It doesn't just grow on it, so the substrate gets consumed over time and becomes smaller.

45 min every 2 hours? That is a weird misting cycle. It sounds like you had your substrate exposed for too long and dried it out.
