B+ monotub grow log - updates 8/29 with wet weight!

Sorry for the repeat post, but I have here a B+ monotub. This particular tub was prepared using WBS spawn and Damions 50/50 coir tek casing - add gypsum.
Here is the tub colonization right before I started fruiting:

The polyfill on bottom is packed really tightly, and the top holes filled not so tight.


My lighting is from the LED rope light tek (6000k and has 72 LEDs per meter) with an electrical timer set to 12 hours on / 12 hours off. The rope was secured by zip ties and the holes were filled in with silicone

Here is my circulator fan that is running on low 24/7:

How is my FAE looking? Does anyone have tips to get it more steady? I can only get my hygrometer to read about 85 max. I read this is completely normal for cheap hygrometers to not read over 80.

I believe the best way to get steady FAE is to dial the tub in well. Removing/adding polyfill as needed. You want a small dry ring around the tight holes and a dry ring + a bit of a dry streak underneath the loose holes. Also most people say to not worry about a hygrometer at all. Better to read your fruits than a gauge.

Since the bin was transferred to a buddy once it started pinning, I haven't had much opportunity for pictures.
Here is the harvest!

There was a bit of trich that gathered after the transfer so I'll have to toss the bin. I think we nailed it down to one of two things. Cotton instead of polyfill in the holes or a mess up during spawn sterilization.
Thanks for the comments!

try to build your monotub like how the teks recommend.
and you should harvest when the veils break or when the cap flatten (if you want to take a spore print.)
when the fruits drop their spores on the sub it might cause problems for the 2nd flush.
