IMPROVED FRUITING CONDITIONS, THOUGHTS ?
    #25971981 -

So I have MY FIRST EVER monotub in progress, I am cultivating the commonly known strain know as GT (Golden Teachers)
This mono was birthed on the 19th, fully colonized with in 10 days, now I am waiting. Since I thought I for SURE would have seen some pins by now I decided to make a few changes to the surrounding environment to improve FAE conditions. The reason I believe I was lacking FAE is because you can see water droplets all throughout the surface of the monotub. I first thought this was a problem so I started to just lay off on the misting but then I noticed that it started pulling from the sides and I didn't want it to shrink or get dried out so I continued two missed once every two days after doing this for about a week and fanning it 2 times per day and you're not seeing any pins I decided that I had to make a move. I loosened the polyfill on the bottom and I placed a fan on the corner all of the tables that my tub is sitting on on a low setting so that the air rides along the walls and gently hits the sides of my mono hopefully traveling through the polyfill allowing enough Fae. No this is my first grow as I stated if anybody sees anything wrong or thanks I am making any mistakes please let me know right now.

It looks as if you’re over misting from the way your surface looks in the last pic

Spraying the walls helps keep up RH in the tub.

when you prepared your substrate to mix with spawn, was the substrate too wet? From all the pictures you’ve provided, it looks exactly as what Bod said (Drenched) the mycelium on top gets like that when too wet

Also Bod is pretty much a god damn genius when it comes to this stuff and I highly suggest checking out the “Everything you need in one spot” post, none of his TEKs have let me down if followed properly

You don't need tub rh, you need proper surface conditions. RH is irrelevant if surface conditions are wrong. This is why hygrometer are useless and this is something you will only learn through hands on experience.

You want evaporation though...that's the #1 pin trigger. Let some of that beading dry out and then lightly mist. :thumbup:

It helps peg out his hygrometer on the wall he keeps spraying down lol. Someone somewhere taught him that ambient air RH is equal to surface humidity which is what we are going for. There are a lot of 15 to 20 years old techniques that teach this archaic information, it's wrong and irrelevant.

pins like evaporation.

I would put a light covering layer of verm on top and leave the lid cracked open or some vent holes opened up.  Check your mister, it should be a fine mist. You want a fine mist that barely covers your tub, 2-3 times a day.

I do one good spritz toward each wall--from 2 feet way away--on a downward angle--2-3 times a day.  If your tub is too dry, pins will often form near the walls, if the walls are also misted--making for an easy indicator of a dry tub.   

You can stop using the fan, chances are it isn't creating FAE.

So, wetting the walls 2 to 3 times per day will create the proper surface humidity for evaporation to take place and pinning to occur? Fans are great to help with this if you're set up for it but what you are describing sounds like drowning your sub and making puddles along the walls beneath your sub. Your hygrometer is a liar and you need surface humidity not tub humidity. While you can't have the first without the second you can definitely have the second without the first.
