I like to have a good amount of surface moisture while waiting for the pins to set up. Whether you use a mister, a casing or a little less passive FAE to accomplish this, once the pins are in you definitely want the fae dialed up to promote healthy development.



:whathesaid:

Actually the constant cycling of drying to damp from proper misting is a massive pinning trigger IME.

Just keep it as is and get to practicing that misting. It takes practice but you will get it right. Once the surface dries, you'll find you gotta mist at least once a day.

Yep. And tbh if the surface dries out, it seems to just dry out at least once a day. Even if you stuff it tight AF. Maybe it's just my climate? :shrug: but it makes sense to me that if the sub lost too much water to hold the humidity to maintain surface hydration, it needs to be replaced regularly through misting.

The trick is learning how much to mist. Not too much or not too little, it's a Goldilocks zone. I'd say it took me 6+ months of misting substrates every day before I could confidently mist properly every time. Although I didn't have a tek like this to help me out xD it was all trial and error. I bet people will learn much quicker now.
