Monotub side pinning

My monotub is currently side pinning, it has about 10 or so mushrooms growing on one whole side. Should I carefully lift the substrate to get these off or let them grow? I've read multiple ways, and what people thought about side pinning. Is this essentially bad? i wish the top would pin <_<.

All pins are welcome IMO, but too much side pinning for some reason can potentially distract from your overall canopy. My advice would be to leave the pins and tape a black trash bag on the outside of the tub to black the sides out a bit if you desire to detour more side pins at this point. However, you may still get some side pinning. GL

I like side pins. If you are getting side pins but not top pins it generally means the surface is below humidity. Stuff your bottoms holes more. If dry, mist and fan.
For the trash bag tek you want the bag under the substrate so it clings to the sides as the substrate shrinks. Light barriers (tape) alone wont stop side pins.

The top was getting dried out rather fast, i had a fan going 24/7 in the room. My last tub i only turned on the fan once a day for about 30-40 minutes ( which worked great) so i turned the fan off finally today after misting it. Hopefully this speeds things up!

My climate is extremely dry, with tightly stuffed holes all the way around, it still drys out very quickly.
I was hoping my new location wouldnt affect anything but it has. I am planning on picking up a martha and a cool mist humidifier, as it seems necessary for where i'm located ( fukin dry climate) my RH is about 20% in the room im currently in.
I'm wanting to buy this 4 tier green house:
 My method will be grabbing a tote and fill it with perlite to set the GH in so any additional fallin water will get put back in the air hopefully. I have more jars colonizing but I hope I can salvage this tub by throwing it in the GH!
Hopefully you folks can point me to a good cool mist humidifier? -Zep

Also found this cool mist, you think it'll run good?
Thanks folks, I plan on buying a ultrasonic humidifier as well.
