Tub too wet, need help fast!! plz!!

im going on lunch in a min, and i noticed tub smelt slightly fermented too much water i think its the culprit after learning more and more.....
Best way to dry out the subs a little and get the moisture out? I was going to wipe down the lid and condensation and then stuff the holes with polyfil and have a fan on them... Or should i just pop the lids?
I got too many tubs for this to go wrong
thanks guys!!

if it has pins pop it into fruiting conditions and fan the fuck out of it. is it fully colonized?

yes damions coir tek...
I dunno why there is too much water.... i followed 3 tubs perfect to tek but tub was too big, so i added some more verm to get 1-.5 inches more of sub and another .5 qt of water in the others to account but i think overall might be too much moister dunno why...
either way its something im dealing with now and i just need some answers asap cuz im about to go on lunch and only have like 30 mins to get what i gotta do done

pics?
the pins means your sub was probably too wet since they only show up when a substrate is as colonized as it can get. did you try the grip test after you added the extra water and verm?

ya it had too much, so i squeezed alot of the excess out into a bucket. But i dont think i did enough now because my last sub i thought was perfect and now this crap.
So should i jsut put it in fruiting chamber? i was thinking stuffing it with Poly fill in one hole or two and putting a fan on it?
Im going crazy, so much invested to have something like this ruin it

sometimes when you make it too wet the myc will stall a bit but itll eventually pull thru and colonize it. if its pinning you either introduced fruiting conditions or it really is too wet for it to keep going and idk how you could fix that. i saw a thread a while ago where someone left the polyfil from colonization to fruiting and it fruited and colonized fine, i would maybe suggest that just to get the moisture out but then the tub might contam since it isnt fully colonized

i've tipped a tub to drain out a poly hole..blotted the top with a paper towel.. if it stinks. you can either remove it from others..wait till 1st flush to pick if they're ok ,then toss the rest.. or chuck the whole thing..
i'd toss it if it stinks and i had others to fall back on.

that tub isnt too big...you might not get a 4in deep sub but its not like its gonna be 1.25in... i think next time you should use that tub and not add the extra water and verm.

3 i didnt add it 2 i did.
I just wonder why the 1st one which i thought was perfect is smelling that way, almost like chemically. like i think it could be cause the coir mixed with the water thats still or whatever ya i think thats what its called still water.
What would u do? i think blotch the top with paper towel wipe the sides and fan for 10 mins...?
Trying to salvage this cant really afford the loss
and i do have spawn jars and LC on hand, just need to PC more jars

i would put that sub into the ground and cut my losses. its not fun seeing 71qts of trich. if you live where its humid and warm throughout the year you might get a few flushes
