Temp is fine, as long as everything’s clean being warmer will pretty much just make things go faster

When do I need to worry about spraying and misting with water?

When someone here says 'looks dry bruh'
But you are at day 3? ..4?! Relax you shouldn't have to mist at all.

Yeah today makes the fourth night since I spawned to my tub. I’m just wanting to find out an overall generalized time. Would it be after the first flush? Or do I need to be concerned with that beforehand?
I know that you are very knowledgeable and have tons of experience. I know I’m a noob to my first bulk grow and wanting to be prepared for everything. Like the hydrogen peroxide you told me to stop using and I did. I got it from Gordo, and then you told me not to, and I read your thread discussing it with him and listened to you. Your answers and expertise are very much appreciated.

I was in your shoes once too. Best advice I ever got was to 'leave it alone'
Kinda like good bbq. Let it mingle and do what it does. Constant adjustments will just fuck up the end product.
For now just play the waiting game. Or hungry hungry hippos.
Ps. That gordotek is garbage imo.

Looks good to a newby here. mine is the same. I have leave it alone an watch for drying of sides before I need to mist. Its Hard to just leave it alone. So go make an agar mix and make some dishes. That what IMa do

The absolute most difficult thing I had to learn in the mushroom growing process was to leave them alone. Don't micro-manage (or should that be myco-manage! Hahah!!!)! If you have clean spawn and decent conditions, you will get mushrooms! Trust Mushboy and the other experienced growers when they say leave them alone and chillax!

It’s so much easier to leave alone once you’ve got a successful grow done. The went from watching my jars constantly to watching my surface constantly then staring at pins forever. By the time it was finally done I had all kinds of jars and shoeboxes that had made tons of progress while I ignored them to observe the first farthest along one.
And like everyone has said they looked much better without me picking it up to check on colonization on the bottom and sides or misting it too much “just in case”.

I am leaving it alone, I haven’t sprayed or done anything. I have the lid cracked for FAE and doing a 12/12 light dark cycle, that’s all. I haven’t been playing around with it, misting, watering, or adding anything to it. I just want to know what to look out for if my substrate is dry or needs watering? Or is that not realistic until after a first flush? What are some signs? And does misting with water not really happen until after the first flush?

Once the tubs are colonized more you'll know if you need to mist but based off your pics you should be good.

You ever boil a potato? How do you know it’s ready? What do you look for?
Point is, some things come with experience. Until you have some, post updates every couple of days. At some point, someone’s gonna go “dat surface mad dry homes”. And that’s what you should be looking for😅

It is tough I’m just starting to get a feel for it. The main things that I would say are pay attention to the color of the surface, when you use coir it’s pretty easy to tell from how light it gets. The other is when I did my first box I had read over and over keep it glistening. I was keeping mine with beads of water that I thought were tiny, but were actually way too big.
After a while I realized that while it should be glistening, the actual beads of water are so small they’re hard to see, kind of like if you were to sprinkle salt on it. It’s hard to explain it’s just something that eventually clicked.
Once there’s pins the myc seems to hold the water in larger drops on its own next to clusters of pins which is what threw me off.

It's been about a week now since I spawned, tomorrow will actually make one week. My tub is a lot more colonized, rhizomorphic growth all over the top, everything seems pretty much colonized. I don't see any sign of pinning or anything yet... I spawned exactly one week ago and just been playing the waiting game. Could it be that is has just stalled out now for some reason? If so, not sure about what the next steps are...

Wait longer. The next step is a bunch of tiny little white dots.

Yeah a week isn’t that long. It should start knotting any time though

This is one week after spawning. Nothing seems to really be changing to me. No pins or anything.

That looks healthy and great for one week after spawning to me! I bet you'll have pins in a few days!

You don’t see all those knots?? Couple more days at most you’ll have pins

I guess I kind of do, but it’s hard to know you’re progressing and what’s happening if I don’t really know what to look out for. I was thinking I should be seeing pins at least form now that’s it been one week. This is my first grow.
