What would be really helpful would be a photo of what stage you increase the FAE, i.e pin size or knotting ect and why.

Thanks Pasty. It's easier for me to learn from something I can see and relate to.
I made the 2" holes 'cause I prefer as much FAE as possible without drying out too fast. I don't mind misting every 2nd day or so and it seems that's exactly what I need to do with this. The casing has been needing a slight mist every day or so now, so if it's not the genetics, I have no idea what else it would be.
Could it be stagnant air in this case?

I put the tub into fruiting conditions 4 days ago 'cause the myc was breaking through the casing layer and i noticed this tiny pin. This is what it looked like on that day:

Both tubs taped exactly the same but why does the top seem to allow more FAE? In a walk-in closet with no air movement.

It's because there is air movement. The tubs themselves are creating heat which is cycling air. That is why dialing in a tub needs to consider many variables. Funny thing is the exact same thing will happen with poly, it's just easier to see with the tape.

So your saying the one beneath it is heating the top tub? Since heat rises.

Pretty limited on space and would like to keep them vertical for the lighting.

Yep that's exactly what's happening. Its also cycling the air in the closet as well. I recommend that you observe the sub surface. If it's getting dry you can either mist it more, or add another strip of tape to the bottom holes. Start with small adjustments if you add more tape. Add a strip to the bottom half. If it's still not enough add a strip to the top half. Dial it in incrementally.

The surface is incredibly wet with droplets, almost to the point I want to soak some up but they are APE and just beginning to pin. The lower one that had some sketchy spots after casing, just turned green today:(
Do you think a small fan on a timer would aid at all with that? If say I had 8 total. 2 stacks of 4 like that?

Your pins like the "droplets". Leave em be. Once your pinset fills out then you should introduce more FAE.

I knew something was off with this tub. It turned out getting trich I covered the area with salt. It's been a day since then and it seems like that'll hold it off for a while.
I'm not familiar with the proper tek in salting the trich, but meh... Here's some pics regardless.

I find I usually get early fruits when the tub is contaminated. Shame as you have quite a nice pin set on its way.

Ouch, that's a pretty serious contam
Edit: Has anyone tried mixing the salt with water and pouring the solution on the contam?

I feel like diluting the salt would be counterproductive

I've mixed salt and pure bleach. It definitely stopped the surface from growing more mold. What happened underneath, i don't know, but I finished my flush for sure.

actually its called a salt paste and its the recommended way of salting trich patches. use very little water tho.

I wouldn't consider it diluting anyway. I was thinking of a little wetter than a paste because the purpose of the water is to help the salt penetrate the sub a little deeper where there is more contams. Just an idea though

The sub will produce a huge amount of metabolites where you lay down the salt, it will sometimes need to be mopped up with a paper to towel to keep from spreading too far. I used to lay down folded paper towel to hold it all together.

folded paper towel over a salted spot is pretty much necessary. Gets real wet, real fast.
