Aerial mycelium and water droplets aren't evaporating

Never had this problem before. I'm noticing about 50% of sub surface has aerial mycelium and water droplets aren't evaporating. Any advice would be helpful.

Its either not being fanned enough or you didnt let it consolidate. That's my guess.

thats what I was thinking. At this point just give it time and fan more often and decrease misting?

I would just wait once its fully consolidated then the aerial mycelium will quit growing and it will be replaced by pins. I would mist then fan 3 times daily only fan after you've misted it just needs time man

Misting isn't a "times per day" thing, it's only as needed. You should only mist if the sub looks dry (ie: not glistening), and only fan when misting to disperse the water in the air.

Bulk subs in monotubs do not need misting, they should contain all the moisture needed for a descent first, and possibly second flush.
The arial mycellium could be genetic, or it could be FAE related(not enough FAE)....either way it has nothing to do with consolidation.

Why do you keep misting if the water is not evaporating?

True but its "needed" around three times a day on average so yeah. And you don't fan while misting its after misting that you want to fan bro.

I'm not misting anymore, just noticed over a 12hr period that the water wasn't evaporating. FAE and stop misting, simple enough.

No, it's not "needed" if the bulk was at field capacity, and the monotub is dialed in properly.....I never have to mist my monotubs before the first flush.

True.

They may not need the misting but I still like to to promote pinning, not to add any extra water for the first flush but purely for pinning purposes. Just my opinion I think it is beneficial to mist /fan monotubs as long as its done properly.

Then why not give the substrate one or more of the main pinning triggers....misting is not one of them.
Main pinning triggers are full colonization, FAE and Evaporation off of the substrate.(in that order)
Light is a secondary pinning trigger. For tropical species temperature is not a pinning factor.
If you have the mmonotub dialed in properly, there will be constant condensation on the substrates' surface that is constantly evaporating off....
FAE is all you need after full colonization for pinning.....just FAE....

Well I do... I do all of those things. But when I add the misting/fanning I've noticed bigger/better pin sets that way, even with monotubs that are already at field capacity. I only mist and fan once its fully colonized

Im giving it a try with just FAE, I have the water to sub ratio correct. It's obviouly too wet and has no need for misting, at this time lol
