As the title says put some aspen in and the humidity has gone down to 30%
Do you have to spray it?
I have frozen the aspen for a couple of days before use..
Had coco bark before all was ok .

If your buying good quality aspen you shouldn't need to freeze it.
Give it a couple of days and it should sort itself out!

I would still freeze it if it cost bars of gold.
Better safe than sorry.
