Few questions.

Few questions.
My jars took a long time to colonize all the way. I'm using Ms. Just made some lc.
Well my tubs have took like 4 still need a few days? Is this ok?
Well I'm fruiting on today.
I took off tape and put in polyfil.
Can you give me some insight on a few questions.
1. How tight should polyfil be in there? 2. How often should I mist/fan it? 3. How close should the light be. I'm using a two ballast 6500kw daylight or some shit like the right light I know that forgot the name. 4. Should I have a fan running or something like that. Transcending life told me that. 5. Also, there anyway to get the humidty up in the room?
Just basically can you just provide me with what I need to do to make this go right. Thanks man I appreciate it.
I've put a lot of time and effort into this and am trying to get everything down as I will probally do this my whole life.
Edit: sorry if this message sounds like it was suppose to be to someone since it was. I just copied and pasted it. Since RR does not support cultivation messages

Can someone just help me with the fanning at-least would should I do for that? I've researched it, but no body really answers the question directly.
1. Should I have a fan in the back of my room circulating air? Or should I point it at the monotub like 2 mins every 3 hours or what?

All of your questions have been answered in various threads; It doesn't really seem like you did much reading before rushing on to post your barrage of questions.
"Well my tubs have took like 4 still need a few days? Is this ok?" I'm not sure what you're asking here. You haven't identified what tek you're following (if one at all) including but not limited to:
How did you achieve colonization (brf cakes? bulk grain? wbs? etc) How you will be fruiting (SGFC, Greenhouse, Monotub, etc?)
And as always, pics are helpful to the community to provide you the best possible feedback. Now i'll try to offer some answers simply based on what i've read on this site - please note, i've not done my first grow yet so i'm simply regurgitating the very easily obtainable information on this site.
1) Polyfil should be as tight as it can be while still allowing proper FAE... i know that's not initially super helpful so...pack it in loosely but make sure you've got enough material to act as a filter. If you get fuzzy feet, loosen it up.
2) Mist / fan whenever you notice the cake drying out - maybe once a week, maybe 5 times a day - just depends on your setup
3) Sounds like a pretty powerful light - it's likely to put off significant heat, so i'd be keeping it away from your fruit chamber a bit. You don't want it to be drying out the chamber and reducing your humidity
4) a fan is potentially helpful but it could also be harmful. too much FAE will dry out your system and cause problems. Just pay attention to your substrate and see what the mycellium needs
5) lots of ways to increase humidty, sounds like you're going for a greenhouse type build (so no perlite under your cakes); if this is the case, you may need to employ a humidifer of some type or simply mist more often.
Hope those are helpful responses, I would really reccomend you read more threads including this one:

Edit: I see your second post (you probably should have edited instead of replying) but you note you're using a monotub. Heres a link to a monotub tek linked in the above guide.

Sorry mate.
I meant they took 4 weeks to colonize. And, they have still have a few days to go. Also, Rye is what I colonized on.
