Here is the pinset:

I have been working on this project for just over a month now and dont want to see it take a crap at this stage lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance .

Looks like over misting, so hold off on the straying. You have lots of water beads on the sides and on your substrate. Pins will look goofy if this happens. you'll still get mush though.

Well this is my first time.....I followed damion5050 coir tek. To best of my knowledge, using the squeeze test,it was at field capacity. There has been beads of water on the sub the whole time. And there was a build up of water under the liner (which I drained using a drill bit)

If my sub is too wet should I just fan it more? Or maybe turn the fan more towards the tub?

Thanks. Ya maybe I'll stick with manually fanning. I dont know exactly what bruising entails but it doesn't sound very good.

If you are getting alot of pooling on your sub go ahead and get a paper towel and gently absorb it...

Yup...they will be fine... just gently dab it up with the corner of a folded up paper towel.

And maybe loosen your poly or remove it from the top holes... whatever works for you to get your evaporation dialed in.

Ok will do...i have had the top holes loose for the past couple days. Should there still be rings around the bottom holes or is the poly supposed to be loosened now too?

looks good to me! no need to manually fan the tub, just loosen the top poly as you did. you wanna see small dry rings around the bottom holes but no matter how hard you stuff its hard not to have them. just make sure they arent huge so your sub surface dries up.

Ok great thanks! I actually wiped the walls down with a paper towel yesterday as per a thread i found, and the walls arent wet yet (10 hours later). I have put the poly back in trying to get the humidity back up in the tub. Does this sound right to you? Or do I only go off the moisture on the sub for correct levels? (The sub still has beads on it)

the condensation on the walls may or may not come back, its dependent on your room temp. dont take the poly in and out like that, try to find a sweet spot and keep it there, changes takes a couple days to have effect anyway.
use the sub surface for measurement, yes!
