Stacking dubtubbed shoeboxes sounds like an accident waiting to happen

So this one's coming along nicely, just wondering if I should dub tub it now or let the smaller pins grow a bit more?
I thought this tub would be performing better than the one above but never mind. Is it normal for the pins to grow down into the sub like that?

Looks like they want more fresh air bud.

So should I be cracking my lids open at any point? I noticed my mycelium seems a bit fuzzy, is this due to lack of FAE? The ones I spawned before seem to be a bit fuzzier... I cracked the lids on each level just to give some exchange for now.

I have read through so many of these pages on this thread, thanks to Mushboy that started it and stayed with it to comment and nudge everyone in the right direction, and to the other posters who posted pics of their successes and failures, and asked thought provoking questions.
I finally let those shoe boxes have it with great results, totally cool second step into my growing degree....
I have a question (was the same with PF TEK cakes too) .........when you pick off all of the shrooms that are ready, why don't you let all of those little pins grow before you dunk cakes or your coir substrate in the shoe box?
Here was the scenario; i had picked of a good load of ready to go shrooms, but there were hundreds of other pins, and when I dunked it for 12 hours, it seems to kill all of those other pins (it was the same for the PF cakes).
Am I doing something wrong? Should I have left all those little pins to grow, and then dunk?
I would be embarassed if it were the latter, but, better to change sooner than later ( although next time, i wasn't going to do it that way anyway).
Let me know of any good suggestions, thanks in advance

Do you find that the tubs on the bottom of the stack gets less surface moisture than the ones on top?
When it was first colonizing i noticed that the boxes on the bottom of the stacks had no condensation on the lids, while the ones on the top had a bunch. Now i am also noticing that the surface of the bottom ones seem to have less beads of moisture than the ones on top.
Have you noticed this as well, and do you think it'll be a problem?

If they aren't aborts then just let them go. Again, if they're not darker and aborted then they're your second flush. Don't dunk the sub. Bottom water it

Naw I had no problems stacking them. Didn't see any differences top to bottom.
Here are some of my oldest documented shoeboxes. I started doing them around fall 2014, but I was a noob back then and went thru a lot of growing pains along the way. there were some ppl usin tubs like this after they hit the shelves around that time. they were either referred to as tiny mini-monos or just plastic treys. here are some of my old pics, I dont think I've shared many of these before
