    I am using small bags which in the past I gave sprayed with water twice daily to keep them humid.  I am not very satisfied with the results and if I go away for the weekend it seems it can limit growth just at the wrong moment.

    As a simple fix I have just started putting them into large plastic storage boxes where a humid environment can be better maintained. I have chocked open the lid a crack to maintain some air circulation, but it is a balance between humidity and fresh air.

    Has anyone tried a similar set up and found a good balance?

    Thanks,

    John

    Hi John,

    Yes it can definitely help to have a better controlled environment for fruiting in…we realise this is something in the current course material which is slightly lacking, so are soon to update it with an instructional on how to make something like this:

    20160215_145220

    It’s just a 3 tier greenhouse with 6 x 3cm holes cut on each side of the plastic, and a mini pond fogger placed in a tub of water in the bottom. When the front is zipped down it creates the ideal balance of air exchange and humidity and can be left alone for a few days at a time without care.

    You could create something on a smaller scale like what you already have in your plastic storage boxes, by just drilling some air holes in the side and then putting some wet perlite on the bottom of the container for the humidity.

    Hope this helps.

    Best wishes,

    Adam
