Not sure if it's too dry. She's got some pins but it'll have to be dunked for the next flush I'm just curious if it'll be a good first flush.

Im not sure either, as there is no way to tell from the picture given. Kinda looks ok.
Did you apply a casing layer after full colonization or did you just fruit before 100%?

Judging from the condensation that's pretty damp.
I also don't see the signs of drying (blue bruising in large areas, cracked fruits, etc.)

The condensation is from the temperature differential, not the moisture in the sub, or the humidity.
The moisture on the walls tells you absolutely nothing about the moisture in the substrate.
You can have lots of condensation and a very dry substrate.

No, just let it fruit.

Then dunk it for 12 hours after I harvest?

Dunk bulk for no more than 2-3 hours.
Or just mist heavily after each flush.

Yeah, that's right (condensation-moisture-temperature difference).
However, when u do a tub, condensation _mostly_ means good humidity. It COULD mean it's cold outside, but it's rare.
So yeah, check temperature, and mist to be on the safe side.

all the condensation really tells you is you have good fae, the moist surface on your sub tells you you got good humidity

No, it doesn't.
It means that the substrate is producing heat, and the air inside the tub is warmer than the air outside the tub.
Even if there was only 20% humidity, with that temperature differential there would still be condensation.
SGFC have 90%+ humidity at all times and NEVER has condensation. How does that work?

Yes but shotguns have perlite right?
So in a mono tub without perlite is the heat of the mycelium itself and the condensation it produces not actually a big part of what creates moisture in the tub, which in turn creates humidity?
Correct me if I am wrong here hacker, as I am actually asking you and certainly not telling, but surely the condensation created by the heat of the substrate also plays at least some role in creating humidity? Any water in the air or the tub must raise humidity levels no?
So does a mono tub with heavy condensation not (moisture) create higher levels of humidity in any way at all?
Thanks!

Yes, but this has nothing to do with condensation.

Yes, the colonizing/fruiting mycellium generates 10+ degrees of heat easily.
Evaporation of moisture in the substrate is what creates humidity in a monotub....just like in a SGFC where evaporation of moisture on the perlite creates humidity.
The amount of condensation on the walls is irrelevant.

The condensation is moisture that has condensed out of the air and onto the walls.
This is moisture that has been removed from the air......meaning it has been taken away......this cannot possibly raise the humidity levels, because by definition it has taken moisture OUT of the air.
Now if the water on the walls is allowed to evaporate, it would then go back into the air, raising the RH.

No sorry I was saying that perlite provides humidity not condensation.

So condensation plays no role whatsoever in rising humidity levels?

No, it is simply a byproduct of a temperature differential.
Condensation actually lowers humidity.(explained above)

Thanks dude! But cant quite wrap my head around it, so please bear with me!

Are you saying that if I just leave the condensation alone it would then create higher levels of RH in my tubs through evaporation?
But would that not mean that condensation can indeed raise the humidity? As long as I let it evaporate?
Are u saying that condensation alone may not mean that you have good RH, but that it will -if you wait- eventually produce more humidity in a tub?
But does that not mean that condensation will -if only eventually- create humidity?
Thanks!
