no pinning yet, and the water droplets have actually gotten worse, the whole surface is covered, will this damper any performance?

fan it more, your sub needs to feel that it has to reproduce to make fruits and the moisture level dropping will trigger that(if all your other conditions are right).
if it stays to moist(wet) it will continue to feed until conditions are right. like a big cake in a fruiting chamber, you mist to replace moisture, if your moisture is just sitting there(little puddles) it wont trigger your myc to pin.

if you cant get the water to evaporate off then you need to remove it some how.
if you trust your paper towels are steril then you can lighty pat up the water or I would very carefully tip my tub on end so the water runs to one side and use a turkey baster to suck out the water or put a small drain hole in the bottom and tip your tub to drain then put silicone in the hole to fill it closed again.
too much moisture wont kill your myc but it will hinder your goals.

I've fanned a couple times a day now for the 2nd day and it looks like the water is just getting worse. I dont really understand whats happening here but I dont think its good... Im gonna take action today or tomorrow with paper towels unless anyone else has any other suggestions. I think it should be pinning already at least......

When I've had problem with excessive surface water I have had plenty of success with just laying a clean paper towel down to suck it up without any noticeable contams. I also sometimes PC a small batch of very dry casing mix a sprinkle it very thinly over the effected areas. IMO this has worked the best for me.

Thanks beejay... I looked real close at it and noticed it is pinning all over! It was weird, even under water drops there were pins forming. I took a clean paper towel and soaked up a good amount of water. Upon inspection today the pins are maturing just fine it looks like, im stoked but at the same time am careful not to count my chickens before they hatch! I wonder what I can do next time to try to eliminate some of this water collection on the surface... I did mist right upon completion of the tub, I may not do that next time..... What kind of yield can I expect from this sucker?

just based on my results with about the same size mono you can on the low side 2 OZs or so but Ive seen someone here on shroomery get 9 OZs in 1 flush. so it varies pending on how perfect your conditions were.
my best so far is 6 OZs total in 2 flushes with that size.
(all weights are dry weights)
but yeah, if you have that much water build up on your sub try not misting next time 4 sure.
practice makes perfect.

Yes misting will not take place next time, I drained about 2 cups worth of water out the bottom of my FC in addition to all the water that was sitting on the top.......
This thing is looking PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!
There are hundreds of pins all over......

check out this cluster in the corner!

thanks for all your inputs!!!!!!!!
