Why doesn't my tub have condensation during the colonization period?

All holes are taped up as you can see..
Tub on the left is fine but the one on the right has been like that ever since they were placed in... (same time: 10 days ago; same ratio 1:1; same substrate: verm/coir)
Anyone have any problems/success using "Hefty" storage brand?

It might have something to do with the lids.
The tub on the left, with condensation, looks to have another tub weighing it down; potentially making the lid air tight and retaining the moisture; while the tub on the left maybe getting some gas exchange through the lid.

I was thinking of that in my picture. I actually DO have another tub sitting on it (exact same tubs (same weight and err thing))--just not in the pic cuz I was picking out aborts.

Well, don't run away! Help me!! It's the lid, huh? I even put masking tape over the lid trying to raise the CO2 but nothing changed and I've been doing that for 5 daysor so.

Well, that was just a guess. If the holes are taped up air tight, it must be the lid(?) If they're next to each other in the same room, same temp, etc.
What I can tell from the pic - they are two different totes, with two different lids.

Condensation is caused because there is temp difference. It builds up on the inside because the myc creates heat making the tub slightly warmer than the room. The sides are cooler than the inside air causing condensation. To much FEA, low substrate moisture at the start or the myc stalled out for some reason are all thing I have read.
