My point is they work in any environment, there’s no such thing as too dry.
Unless the lid has a rubber seal even upside down then it has fae. That’s the whole point of unmodded.

You could always make the holes right now by melting them, which wouldn’t create any debris on your substrate.
Or, if you used a liner, you could get another tub, drill the holes you want, then transfer your sub to the new tub.
Or you could take the gasket out of the lid and put it back on right side up for less air flow than you’d get upside down, but more than closed up completely.

:I've used a soldering iron to melt holes before. Worked great. That's not a bad idea. Might be worth a shot on one of them at least. I could compare outcomes between two that are going now.
Edit: Ok I took the gaskets out of a couple of them and put the lids back on normal. Let's see how that goes for a bit.

Tl;dr — How dry is too dry/what is acceptable for the surface in the unmodified tubs?
As a bona fide lurker, I could already hear this being Bod’s response to my similar question. So what would actually “too dry” look like? My surface had some lighter-colored patches so I began misting, and, like Bod suspected of this fella, I’ve had a hunch I overdid it.
My takeaway from most of my reading here has been that the biggest issues most newbies have are overthinking and tinkering, and I’ve tried to avoid those. If I could just get a sense of what acceptable surface conditions are for the unmodified tek, I would probably feel comfortable to leave well enough alone.
From this thread, though, I have a suspicion now that I have too much air flow in the grow space. It’s about 6’ x 12’ and I have a 1500w space heater to keep the temp around 72, and an air purifier running. This basement space is also not fully-enclosed, with a temporary wall on one side and curtain on another, and space above each of those that leads to the rest of the basement. I felt like that was a decent option for getting fresh air.
I currently have 4 32qts of MS fruiting, and 2 more 32s and 4 54s at various stages of colonization for my first wave of experimentation after a couple rounds of PF tek. Used Bod’s oat and bucket teks.
