So what the hell am I doing wrong?

Ok friends,
So I just graduated to 66qt monos. Used the 6 hole model, micropore dialing, oat spawn (huatzel-something strain MS), pasteurized CVG, no casing. Waited for full colonization, pins came quick. Misted carefully, adjusted airflow. All bottom holes have a strip of micropore removed, and the top holes are moved down slightly.
Why are my babies so spindly? It's like every time I grow, I get worse, somehow...

I should mention this is a closet grow. I was hoping the micropore would allow for no fans and a set and forget...

No, no fans at all. I really was hoping to save on power and allow passive airflow.
Used fans in the past, and things dried out within 12 hours. Never used micropore

I personally like fans and misting multiple times s day . I always had airflow. I mist heavy I've actually use to put my stuff in the shower .

Go to one layer of tape on your lower holes. Crack your lid during the day. IMO you need more FAE.

If you're growing in a closet, I wouldn't use a very big fan. Maybe like a mid-sized desk fan, pointed at a corner of the closet. Personally, I would use polyfill, but I've never tried any fancy pants shit like porous tape, so maybe I'm the newb there. Get a 6500k compact flourescent bulb in a round aluminum shop light, and set that sucker right on top to shine through the lid.
Genetics are a big factor in the long spindliness, but you should have a better pinset if that is the main problem. You should try a jiffy casing.
Edit: Actually, your pinset doesn't look so bad. I think you're doing fine dude. You just need different genetics, and more FAE.

Once again stick with what's proven to work first . I use peat on trays without a fruiting chamber .

You need more FAE. Micropore tape doesn't allow enough air in.
Don't skip steps like using a fan. If it dried out, move the fan farther away. Leave the closet open any time you can.
