Yeah I've kept it at a constant 75F yesterday I came home from work dropped to 70F that's when I started asking lol. But it's back up to 75F

70 is still good to grow in

Dialing up to the top end of 75 is going to increase speed of fruiting. I do this sometimes if I'm trying get fruits faster, but never over this. Faster isn't better... Mostly I try to opt for denser fruits and fruit 65-70F

I read dropping temp at signs of pins can increase density aswell, is this correct?

Yes, but it will slow down fruit formation, gives it more time to grow a stronger meaty fruit.

Also another question, the humidity in the room says 80% at 75F. One tub walls are wet and the myc ain't Pullin from walls yet. The other, the 2 side walls are pretty dry lil condensation at the top near lid and the myc is pulling from the walls. So my question is should I mist the dryer tub a few times a day or leave it cause it's bout to pop?

It depends on the surface not the walls of the tubs if the surface has beads of moisture youre good

Also the sub pulling away is just the myc consuming the sub and it is shrinking

Is your substrate level? If not you could run into some problems with uneven moisture. I would try not to mist a monotub too much, they generally don't need misted at all, but if any part of your sub is too dry by all means mist it to proper surface moisture, but if your RH is 80% it shouldn't dry out too fast. Adjusting polyfil holes can help dial in the moisture and keep FAE at max.

It's pretty level. When I mixed it I wasn't sure if I should pack it down or leave it loosely. So kinda did both

Sounds to me like you need to dial the poly a bit tighter. Is it drying by the holes? That's one of the reasons you'll often see just 2 holes on the long sides of the tub.

Looking at those pictures, the sub looks to be hydrated well. I would leave it be and only mist of the surface has no microbeads of water.
The mycelium does look very very thick though. You might benefit from actually increasing the FAE. That surface should knot up quite well.

No they're wet up by the top holes. More so then rest. And I've stopped fanning them. I turned box fan on low and faced the opposing wall.

From what I can tell, the surface moisture looks fine. Expose it to more FAE to get a tiny bit more evaporation on the surface. As long as the surface is being kept with a fine layer of water beads on it, it should start knotting up and forming primordia. It already looks like it may be starting the process of knotting up. I would keep the temps near about 70f.

Right now temp has been at 75F for couple days. I was thinking once I start seeing pins on one of em id drop it to 70 and try to make them more dense.

Is what you say knitting is that dryer looking close to walls? Kinda looks like a cloud? Or I'm I mistaking all that for something else? I was thinking it was getting dry close to walls
