Those pins look aborted. The discoloration is most likely due to bacteria.

The surface looks plenty wet, how much fresh air is it getting?

Lots of fresh air is the only thing that will help slow bacteria but honestly I'd say that tray is pretty fucked.

The surface looks wet, but the substrate looks dry. It seems to have pulled away substantially from the walls, yes? My recommendation is to peel away that black plastic and try to bottom water that substrate. From there I have two ideas:

1) Re-case it with a little bit of field capacity coir and put it back into fruiting. This'll set it back a little bit as it re-colonizes the top, but I think it needs more moisture, and that's one way to deliver it.

2) Totally peel off the plastic and then soak it for a couple hours in water, then put it back into the fruiting chamber and treat it like a BRF cake and fruit it open and exposed.

Looks like the surface dried up at one point ruining your pinning surface

Bummer man. I don't know if it happened under your care or his but that surface has been through a lot. As stated above, it was allowed to dry out entirely too much. This results in a matted surface that creates pools of water instead of fine little water sparkles when misted. It's hard to save them after this takes place.

You have a few options, either of sharperdreamers suggestions are fine. Or just ride it out as is and see what happens. Or, seeing as to how the pins do look like they're aborting, harvest them and flip that sucker over. Then take care not to let the surface dry out again.

they already look dead. I would pick those and throw away and hope for new ones after a soak and a re-case. a flip might work as well. ive had some that were completely dead at that point, but I tried anyway. nothing to lose.

Yeah, those pins look fine to me. Aborts are typically purple in color, these pins have dark caps but the stem is normal color.

That said the top layer looks too wet.

I may have jumped the gun on that. I am color blind and often forget to take that into account. The pins do look a little odd though.

It will recover if it's healthy and maybe even if it's not. Liners don't really do anything at all.

Were you man handling the ever living shit out of it? Healthy subs are pretty sturdy.

I get your point, professor, but I disagree. Liners absolutely do things. I'm shocked that you would even say that.

To answer your question though dude, the worse that will happen without a line is that you'll mist too much and the sub will end up sitting in standing water too long. This can in to a truly disgusting bacterial goo. It's not good for the community.

Alright then, I apologise for giving you bad advise. I thought those pins where aborting and was wrong. It is true though, that it was allowed to dry out. This results in a matted pinning surface. You can tell by noticing the parts were the water beads up vs the parts that glaze over when misted.

I'd need to know more about the fruiting chamber to give more precise advise on how to proceed but you basically want to allow it to breathe plenty without drying out. Cubes love fresh air but must remain hydrated. This is the balance we fought to bring into harmonic equilibrium until we get it dialed in. Mist if it looks like it's drying out and then let her breathe until she starts looking dry again. The secret is learning what "dry" looks like and what "too wet" looks like.

Quit fanning. Make sure the perlite is fully hydrated by taking the cake out and running water over it in a place that it can drain. Outside with a hose is best because it can be quite messy. Once it quits dripping, shaking can speed this up, put back in place and reinsert cake. Be sure that the sgfc is elevated as to allow the floor to breathe. Mist walls and perlite liberally any time you want but only mist the cake if it's starting to dry out. Keeping the fruits too wet for too long will result in bacterial infection of the fruit bodies. Fanning is unnecessary with a properly built sgfc that is elevated.
