I agree lots of pins on all my shoeboxes but most of them are tiny on some are very small so out of 150pins only 40 or so are turning into full size mushrooms what do you do with the little pins and how can I make them grow?

Some mushrooms are just small man. If u have that many aborts then it's probably your conditions. Either the substrate doesn't have enough water left in it to support everything or they aborted from too much misting. Which is less likely.

The 40 you end up with may get large, a bottom water midflush can help heavier pinset to Finish with less aborts, but the substrate can only support so much growth; they'll be smaller

What is a bottom watering? And how much water to give ?

It's where you pour water through the corner of the sub so it can reach the bottom.

Yeah, just add an inch or so and let it sit for a few hours, drain and return to fruiting conditions

after while youll learn almost the exact amount of water needed and you wont need to pour any off.
pouring off water from larger totes can be challenging.

I'm growing B+ I currently have 5 different syringes coming in the mail to start some new grows. Yeah I ask a lot of questions. I have a very hard time learning from reading. I might be retarded lmao. I ask the questions I need and then try hard to pass what I learned to others. Your boxes are looking great as well.
I hope you get plenty of mushies.

You're too hard on yourself. We all learn better in different ways. It takes a strong person to know what they're weak at and where they'll have to work harder.

What you use then or just crumble into tube?

The sub is 1:1 quarts. Theres a lot of side and bottom pinning, they are lifting the sub up off the bottom of the shoebox quite a bit. I have it dubtubbed. Compared to everything else I've grown they just seem to be maturing as small little things.

Okay guys.. this has been a lot of reading for me and I think its just better for me to ask sl I can get a straight answer.
I have one jar I'm going to spawn. Its 90% colonized. So, once I mix and whatnot.. I plan to add however much more coir I need to hit the line in my shoebox. Anyway, once I spawn I know that I set and forget until fully cokonized. Now, can I just continue to leave the lid on? Once they start pinning? Or do I crack the lid or flip it upside down.?.. and then when the shrooms get bigger just adjust to a dubtub?
My biggest question is mostly when it starts to pin on what to do. And only mist if the coir looks dry?
