Hi man
1. U dnt need a humidifier unless u live in the desert, what u do need - I find it very useful - is an hygrometer & thermometer, that way you will know exactly (within 24hrs) how many times a day u need to mist ur fruiting chamber to get to 95-99%; however the humidity in ur fruiting chamber depends on what ur using to create that humidity, is it perlite? just water?
2. Half a spore print for 1 syringe sounds a lot to be honest, but maybe u have a small print; (remember that spore cannot be seen with the naked eye, that means that all that dark "powder" u see on the print is millions of spores.....). In any case as it is ur first time u might as well do half a spore print.
3. Frequent Air Exchange (FAE) is very important, according to what u use as a fruiting chamber air exchange can be achieved in a number of ways; I personally use a plastic container and have drilled several holes all over and that takes care of FAE, other people might have a lot of time on their hands or loads of tools available and start playing with fans, pumps and all that jazz - unless u have a commercial set up, is just a waste of time and money- again, unless u live in the desert.
Hope this answers ur questions, if not get in touch.
Happy Tripping!!!!!
