weak pinset.. bad luck or bad conditions

Here is how my monotub looks about 18-20 days after being made:


i see a lot of people of pictures where the whole surface is pins and im wondering what im doing wrong.
one thing it might be is that our house heat stopped working for a few days and it probably hit around 60-62 inside, but back up to about 73 now. this tub gets 12hrs of 6500k light a day and a fan runs in my room a few hours a day

just need more patience. make sure your misting it a few times a day along with the FAE. Light conditions seem fine as does the fan. I can see tons and tons of little tiny pins coming up behind those. The ones you see now will probably be your bigger mushrooms. Give it another 3-4 days you'll either have a ton of pins or a few big ones. Then clear it off and by the second flush you should see more normalization.
Best of luck.

Air exchange? Fanning?

do you suggest fanning/misting just like an sgfc? i was under the impression monotubs were set it and forget it.. perhaps that explains my bad pinset

IME there is no substitute for manually taking the lid off a fanning as often as you can. Your shrooms will thank u for it.

Sometimes multispore grows will have so many pins that it's a pain in the ass to harvest. Sometimes multispore grows will only have a couple of pins that pop up. Sometimes multispore grows will look just like yours. Misting and fanning is great and all, but it isn't going to change the genetic code of your mycelium and allow for a sea of fruiting bodies.

I just took the lid off and gave it a nice fanning. While doing so I noticed that there are tiny droplets of water all over the myc.. is this harmful?
