The FAE is fine, the middle of the tub won't pin because the conditions are better on the edges. Having a flat level surface and/or a casing layer can help promote them to pin in the middle. The conditions on top have to be the best or they'll just pin where the best conditions are, and that's where a microclimate forms. You might even want to put that polyfill back in, those fruits are getting enough FAE. There are no signs of bad FAE there at all. Might not even need the fan. Or leave the polyfill out but turn off the fan. Surely not both.

Good point, when working straight from spore this kind of thing is prone to happen too.

There is far too much FAE in that tub. You need to tighten up the bottom holes and I would kill the fan. The dry rings on you bottom holes have met in the middle. Unless your casing that is too much FAE.

I didn't case and the bottom holes are as tight as I could get them. The top holes are all I adjusted. I only ran a fan faced away from the tub about 2 or 3 hours a day off and on since I put into fruiting. I noticed the edges drying out and the middle with beads of moisture still.

Definitely kill the fan. You are using cheap polyfil from walmart and that junk is tough to get tight. But it can be gotten tighter really need to work at it. Higher grade poly is much easier to get in tight.

Harvest what you can and dunk. Case for second flush.

The shit from Wally World was tried the first time and all was lost. This time it was purchased from a craft store...so it is good...I made sure based on my searches on this site. I packed it tight at the bottom but didn't roll it like you showed. My holes might be too big for that

Then roll a bigger ball of the same density. I use a lump of poly like 5x the size of the ball I'm trying to make.

i have read so much on this site that casing in monotubs is counterproductive. I can't interpret what is good advise or bad. When to dunk and when to case? I have some fruiting and some aborts. Last time I tried dunking I got the green. Should I harvest the largest fruits and wait for more or pick and dunk?

Damn I never knew this, what should I look for? I've gotten 2 different types of poly from Walmart and one was much denser and worked better. It almost felt like a cotton ball.

Some things you just need to try(like casing) to figure out what works for ya. same goes with dunking tubs, they hold enough water to get great results without one till after the second flush. the dun had nothing to do with your green. Harvest all the mature fruits and once ya have just pins it's fine to dunk or water it, with mature fruits present or close to just mist heavy and wait...that's my 2 pennies

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

Harvest what u got. Then tighten the fuck out of those bottom holes bro. I know it.seems tight enough. I had the.same prob. Trust me. Too tight is when you crack the.side of the tub. If nothing else. It.wouldnt.hurt to just try it ya know? Those.tub walls.should.be.wet at all times.except for a half to an inch thick ring.around the bottom holes
