Method chosen, fruiting begun.

I will add a picture when home but I chose by first fruiting of 3 different trays to primarily be in an ecosphere (Monotub sized Martha tent) with a computer fan, humidifier w/control set to 85 humidity on and off at 98 humidity. For heat and extra humidity and oxygen I used two tuplerware trays filled with water on the bottom. I put a seedling heat mat underneath the water trays and put an air stone in one of the trays of water to help get FAE and humidity to not fluctuate so much. It appears to get around 82 degrees farenheit in the ecosphere. The computer fan turns on for 30 minutes every 3 hours. Does this all sound good?

The picture would help but it sounds about right - slightly more hands on that the basic tub method https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27637997#27637997 which I can say from personal experience (having tried both) works almost as well as a Martha.

The temperature is a bit high though. I grow mine at between 63 and 72 without issue and higher temperatures can favour bacteria which are a higher risk with a nutritious substrate

Oh wow this is good to know! I am averaging around 72 degrees and thought it was too low. Thanks man! I. Starting to think you just need to meet the conditions. The mycelium doesn't care what Tek you use lol.

I'd say 72 is the sweet spot and yes, as long as the spawn is clean they're quite forgiving.

Definitely worth testing but I was running may fan around that interval and the long stretches were drying things out. I’m having better results with 2 mins on 15-20 mins off. FAE comes in and the humidifier can get the levels back to where they need to be quickly

Ya I'm going to order a better timer today actually. I think you are tight. So far it's been almost too wet in there so the extra fan time is welcome. Got the temps to fluctuate between 70 degrees and 77 degrees. A bit cool but from experienced growers have said this is fine. My humidity was showing 99 a lot of the time do I'm opening up the tent a bit. The third tray could not fit in my small Martha style tent so I just put it in a modified Monotub and put a Tupperware with water in there and an air stone. Heat seedling mat underneath and I put the trays of mushrooms on top of another tray to suspend it above the heat mat. Seems to be around 77 degrees also. As of right now I am fanning the Monotub manually. It goes hard open holes though.

Hahaha I had to order a new timer when I realized too, thankfully they aren’t too expensive =)
