Forgot to mention the moisture on the side is exactly what you want. It's a sign of high humidity.

These should fruit on their own as well right? I shouldn't have to crack the kids. Moisture in them is perfect and I haven't misted at all. I see what looks like cotton balls but you can see the rhizomorph growth pushing through it and some of the cotton ball things look like they have pins starting in them but can't be too sure.

Those are the cotton ball look alikes. My apologies for all the noob questions. This is the furthest I've made it using grains so my mind is definitely racing.

Yeah, it still looks perfect, leave the lid on, you wont have to crack it until the caps are about an inch or two below the lid. My guess is about a week until pins, that is based on the time line of my boxes. From spawn to pins was 14 days.

Also one of my boxes doesn't have the little glistening layer of water on top of the substrate. Is that something I should be concerned about and mist it lightly? Or is it normal?
I know they need the water to grow that's why I'm asking.

A glistening layer is preferred. When you mist, a few pumps is enough and spray about a foot above the box so that the mist settles into the box. You're not trying to spray the surface directly.
I wonder why that one of 8 boxes is evaporating quicker. Is it on the top of the stack? If so maybe rotate the stack. Or possibly you check it more often than the others.
Either way I'm excited for you, my first flush, I grabbed three early veil breakers and made tea out of them immediately. It was a different kind of high from the one I get when buying from Joe Blow down the street. More personal I suppose.

It's on the bottom of the stack. I've been rotating often.
There may be more that are dry I haven't checked like 3 of them. Other than looking through the side.
I agree with the experience being more personal. I felt the same way my first grow on bed cakes.
Idk any good ways to make a good team tea. What do you recommend?

I believe my taste is an acquired one. I like my coffee black and strong, and my wine dark and dry. So I enjoy the earthy taste of straight shroom tea with no additives. I fill a coffee cup full of water, for measurement purposes, pour the water into my smallest pot and bring to a boil. While the water is heating up I cut up my shroomies into chunks about 1/4 inch with scissors and as soon as the water hits a rolling boil I drop them all in and drop the heat to where there are tiny bubbles on the bottom of the pot, it never returns to a boil. 15 to 20 minutes later I take it off the stove and filter it back into the cup through one of those filter baskets that come in a coffee maker. If I'm feeling hella primitive, which I sometimes do, I'll cut the shrooms into bigger chunks (4 pieces per shroom) and dump it all back into the cup after the simmer. Chewing up the mushies after drinking. I'm nasty like that though.
My lover girl hates the flavor, she says it tastes like dirty sunflower seeds with no salt, and I agree with her on that. It certainly tastes like plain sunflower seeds straight from the ground. So she uses a single serve tea bag and dips it in the shroom tea for a few seconds and squeezes as much as she can out then adds a little sugar. That's that southern sweet tea. I'm not entirely certain that the tea bag doesn't take an ample amount of magic to the trash can with it though so do that at your own discretion.

Im definitely gonna give that a try. Would it make sense to eat mushies and drink some tea for greater effects?

I've never ingested both ways at once but I would think not as far as "greater effect".
Eating shrooms generally takes about 30 to 45 minutes to kick in and it comes on more gradually. While drinking tea of the same dose hits in about 10 to 15 and hits hard and fast.
I would say eating shrooms is like riding waves on an ocean with a big comfy floater, while drinking tea is like white water rafting.
With that being said there is no telling what the outcome would be. The way I understand what you're saying is, you want to take 4 grams for a solid trip. And you're going to eat 2 grams and make tea out of the other two. The numbers are just some that are easy to work with, not me saying what you're planning on taking. Anyway I would make an educated guess that either the tea overwhelms the eaten dosage and the experience is a let down never really reaching its peak. Or, the experience will have a lot of fluctuation going from a heavy tea trip to a slow eaten trip and is just confusing in a dizzy sort of way. Up and down up and down. A third option is it could be the best trip ever, but I doubt that.
Remember those are just educated guesses as I've never tried it. I would just make a tea for your first dose.
Boxes are looking good.

Yeah I would have mixed a dose between the 2 ways but it would probably be better to do one or the other. I'm definitely drinking a tea though seeing as I never have.

You won't regret it. You could be trippy by this weekend from my timeline.

Some boxes are doing better than others. Some are going really slow and I'm not sure why. They're all in the same spot. Only difference is some are closer to the window and those are the ones that are going slower. Maybe too much light?

Also should I start lightly misting everyday? I feel maybe I wasn't misting enough it the boxes that are going slower were on the bottom of the stack longer therefore restricting FAE from the weight of the other ones holding the lid down.
I can't wait to start another grow and try a monotub.( Possibly)
