super pinset...mega fail

My monotubs always seem to have killer pinsets. Were talkin full tub no space inbetween, but 80% never mature. I watch tubs very closely. 90% humidity, fan running n 12/12 light. I don't understand. I bring this up because i currently have a small 10 gallon i believe monotub that is covered in very tiny pins. Im just trying to figure out a solution. Im thinking since a mushroom is mostly water that my substrate does not have enough water. I do not dunk before first flush as some do. But most don't. I also think that maybe i have to much fresh air drying out sub. Any ideas?

I'd reckon it's a moisture problem.

If its a humidity problem you will see that on the caps i.e. cracks. Do you mix with perlite, vermiculite or coir?

I didn't mix anything in. Its 3 pounds rye n 7.5 pounds poo, a mix of zebra, hippo, rhino and elephant. As far as Pics, not much to see. Right now its just a tub full of very tiny white balls some of which have little mushy caps. Had to even see with my eye. And with a 3.2 mp camera idt it will do justice. Im tryna hit sumthing before they grow. My hygrometer is a steady 80-90% 24 hours a day. I want to increase my fae but i don't wanna dry it out either before they get to grow at all.

humidity does not stall you're shroomz. Im almost 100% sure now its a moisture problem. Next time mix you're horse poo with coir or verm to retain moisture. I will guarantee it will work better.
I'd say try to dunk it for a few hours. Thats all i can recommend at this stage really.

Still going still pinning. I mean they are healthy looking. None of the are aborting. The biggest is like 1/4 or 1/5 inch. Not very big. But more and more pins. I don't wanna dunk and ruin something but this thing haa been fruiting some time now

First of all verm is a must IMO as it retains moisture in the sub.I had this problem initially, if your going to leave the polyfil out your sub will dry out and you need to mist. on the other hand if you do leave the polyfil in youll see less pins but more mature fruits. Its too late now but you can also do a casing layer in the future as a water reserve. It just depends on your preference. Also pics would help alot.
