Dope, thanks for this! Do you have a HART setup? I'm wondering how much I'm going to regret using a cheap humidistat rather than the $400 POLA dry/wet bulb...

Suuuuuuuup.

This is my first post here (I lurk a lot on forums, please accept my mushroom beebs as tribute). I'm working on possibly getting a HART Ultimix system installed via grant funding, however I'm wondering how much of a difference there is between the $100 brass solenoids and the $17 ones? I can venture to guess quality, but can anyone describe what the weak points of a solenoid are? I have limited experience installing solenoids.

Butforealtho - I don't want to clean my hydrofoggers anymore lol

I'm about to watch the coroplast HRV podcast for the 5th time cause I'm trying to cook up a way to integrate them into my warehouse build. I mostly understand it, however I get a little confused with how the air is being pulled in from the bottom as well as being exhausted out the bottom. Is that bottom 'spore dump' zone walled off below the vent to keep the air systems separate?

I remember reading an research article for an experiment that investigated pinning formation reactions to different light color temperatures and light intensity. The oysters they exposed to the highest kelvin rating and the longest exposure time tended to go hog-wild with pinning, however that cohort of blocks couldn't sustain the amount of pins it produced and ultimately had to systematically abort pins to focus on fruit bodies that had a higher chance to sporulate. The study concluded that one of the limiting factors of sustaining these pins from this cohort was the amount of nutrients available in the substrate (they were using smaller than 5 lb blocks I think).

Also, I read this article back in 2017-2018 so I very well could be recalling this incorrectly and/or it could be outdated 😅
