Has anyone dealt with condensation issues when stacking monotubs?

I have noticed in the past that when stacking my monotubs for colonization, metabolic heat produced by the top tub can cause an excessive amount of water to pool on the inside of the lid of the bottom tub. This can cause some of that water to eventually drip onto the substrate's surface, potentially damaging the fragile mycelial layer. Has anyone else experienced this when stacking tubs for colonization, or is my moisture content in my substrate just too high?

I find the opposite, the heat from the above tub prevents a temp differential keeping the lid clear. The only one that gets excessive condensation are the ones on the top of the stack.

I stack 6 tubs on top of each other and don't experience any problems. Results are in my signature. Should be fine man.

Okay! I've got 4 tubs going right now, and it just saves a lot of space when I stack them. Thanks for the reassurance, guys.
