See that's what I was confused about, that link says to barely stuff the tops. And nothing about the 12/12 cycle
 Stuffed my top holes like a champ, lightly stuffing them is probably the cause of condensation only on the walls with the elevated wholes. Didn't really understand the lightly rolling ball for those ends. Can I just pull out the same amount of both ends every 12/12 and when do I know to stop removing it

Your sides need tighter stuffing and your top needs loosening. I stop fucking with the poly when I get the same lines of evaporation as Frank. The alternative is to allow a good amount of FAE and just mist but I hate doing that.
Stuff them all tight to start. This will allow a little bit of air but your condensation will build up. It's better to do this early so you don't affect pins. Once the condensation looks almost like you're still colonizing you start to loosen all slightly. Every 12 hours you'll see a difference but you shouldn't be able to directly look into your tub like that.

Thanks for the info I just stuffed it last night, the side are super tight. I don't want to have to mist haha. I had to mist a fuck ton when I had shotgun tubs and hated it.

This morning: Before:
 After
 Idk whats wrong with this but still no condensation. Here's it this morning, got to run to class but I'll check again once home. Re restuffed the poly in the sides until I could grab the stuffing and it would move the walls of the mono. Hoping to get this. Figured out so I can stuff the next one. Is there an actual need for a fan in the room? The one that ran all night seem to have sucked the humidity right out of the tub. Can it also be an issue with the lid? Tried to add a video to demonstrate how tight the poly is.

Does the surface have beads of moisture? 'Cause if it does I wouldn't worry about it. Condensation happens because of a temperature difference but in a well built mono there should be a difference because your bulk will put off some heat.

No condensation on the surface and if there is it's very minuscule. Another question any idea what these little white dots are?

Looks like hyphal knots which means mushrooms are coming soon,

Mist lightly every morning to replace the moisture or you'll have problems. If there's no moisture on the surface it means you're getting too much FAE. Try taping two of the bottom holes in an / shape if that makes sense. Like top right and bottom left. That's what I had to do with my mini monos if I didn't case.
How big are your holes?

Are the others ready?!?
Tub1: the part that looks u colonized is just where leftover cvg was tossed when the monos were first made. Seems to be knotting up just fine tho.

Tub3:

Tub4

Another thing there's still no moisture on the tub I posted earlier. Idk how to get those condensation lines. Seems to only be on one side and the rest has settle at the bottom around the liner.. Should I loosen my top wholes? It's pictured below. Btw one person say I shouldn't be able to see through plain as day, and another says condensation is caused by temperature change. What do I go with?

I said both.
Just wait for fruits, they will tell you if it's too dry in there.

Because I see knots I'd fruit them but those don't look right but I see you mentioning throwing on some CVG so I hope it's that.

Tub 1 is the only one that got extra besides that the rest have been going as plan.
Maybe just a bad picture.

Do I lightly mist letting it gently fall across the tub or just the walls? RH has been fine to now

just mist if your surface looks dry, mist lightly no need to overdo it. dont worry about condensation on your tub walls, your room is probably warm I always get more condensation when the room is colder because its from temp differentials, some just dont get condensation 
all of your tubs seem to have knots so I'd fruit them!
