You guys ever notice that a dubtub seems to keep optimal rh better than the lid clipped on? I gotta try dubbing from the get go next time.

I've never dubbed, but it seems like it would lower rh.

Actually I dubbed after day 3 because I read in several threads exactly what you just said. Someone said they look like they need more air, but I thought dubs were supposed to keep optimal FAE on their on.

They shouldβve been introduced to a light cycle long ago. Shoeboxes have good ventilation so I usually wait till I see pins before I flip the lid or dub tub.

The lid is a mother fucker for me. It really blows my mind when people ask if its in fruiting conditions with the lid on. SBβs dry up fast with the lid on for me.

I would flip the lid and yeah, light from the day it's spawned to a tub for me. Unless I habe tubs going. Then jars sit in the light too.
You have to adjust based on your conditions and what your tub is doing.
There is no "do this and it's perfect every time" except for once you dial in your conditions with your specimin basically, imo.
I tried dubbing off rip a few times. Didn't seem like it made that big of a difference but for me I like the lid on until dense pinset then dub.
Unless something goes on that changes that like if my tub looked like smooby tub. I would increase fae I think

I've read on many threads to dub and introduce to light from the beginning. I did this after day 3. I'm on day 6 since spawn. So they have been dubbed and on 12/12 light cycle for 3 days. There are so many people saying so many different ways to do this tek. This is my first grow, so I don't know who to listen to. Lol. But this is what I've got right now. So any advice from this point on is greatly appreciated.

smooby, is it possible that your grow room is too stuffy? Sometimes closets that shut tightly need to be left cracked open.
As for what's best, I'm with Enkidu, there's a lot of things that are preference when it comes to top layers, when to flip the lid, etc. Try them and see what you get the best results from.
But light, you definitely should have been giving these things light since they were in jars. This isn't preference, it's the right way.

No need for air purifier after spawning... it's loaded with contaminants bc you spawn in open air, ideally, your spawn was healthy and will colonize the substrate before contaminant spores can germinate and grow to be an issue... Lots of unnecessary stress with clean spawn, you're golden... and as stated... there's no absolute tek for specifics, for the simple fact that the atmospheric conditions in everyone's grow space aren't exact

Iβve noticed that with stacked tubs the ones on the bottom dry out extremely fast while the ones on top stay perfect. Anyone else notice that? I feel like the weight flares the bottom ones lids out or something.
Anyway here are some Nepal Chilean. Not the best flushes but considering I had 22 shoeboxes, I did not have time to maintain them all how I should have. Some of them look like AA+ with the cone top.

Itβs weird because some of them are small like cyanescens and some are huge

I haven't noticed that drying problem. Lately I've been stacking 2-3 high. Ocassionaly a tub will need some misting before pinset, but I haven't noticed an increase in this happening with stacks.
I use top layer at spawn, idk if you do it but it may help. Looks like we use the same shoeboxes to. 
Nice tubs

Yes it is possible the closet is too stuffy I guess. I will open the door to allow more fresh air and I did have my jars on a 12/12 cycle also. So the only time they went without light is the first 3 days after spawning. Thanks for all the advice guys. I will definitely use it. Will keep updated. Hopefully with some nice pics of some mushies. Thanks.

Yeah I stack 3 high since I had so many. Maybe it was just a coincidence. I do put a top layer as well. I think Iβll transition to boot boxes when I have more spawn that way I donβt have a ton of shoeboxes.

How long did it take for your APE to pin? Ive currently got my first APE grow going, and ~24 days after spawning i am only able to just see some knots/primordia forming.
