Last night I placed the pods inside another tank, to try and shield them slightly more from my room temperature. Definitely had a positive effect so far. The unemployment rate within the workers ranks has dropped drastically, a lot of leaves were cut and put on the fungus last night rather than just the normal odd leaf here an there.

The stats don't look any different but I'll get a proper gage tonight and check. I can visually see that there is much less condensation in the pods so I doubt its accuracy. Cheers for the help.

Got a proper humidity probe today guys.
Is 91% good enough or will I need to try get it higher?

Hi Matthew, 90% plus us what you want.

As long as that is a measure right by the fungus, yes, 91% is good.

Yes directly next to the fungus. It's been 92% solid. Seems like they are making decent progress now.
