I have this tub. Been in fruiting with bods monotub Tek for 3 weeks. Produced one weird looking small, but fat Ape mushroom so far. It tuned yellow like a week an half ago on corners and a few hours ago I was in that room and it was yellow and now certain spots are turning the color in the pictures. Nothing smells moldy. Let me know what you think.

The blue is bruising , not mold.
This substrate looks like it's surface has dried out really bad - myc will yellow and kinda mat down
I would restrict FAE a bit and really keep up with misting. You want to see a constant layer of tiny water droplets across the surface, it's the continuous evaporation of the droplets off the surface that are one of the main pinning triggers. If you get pooling or big droplets it means you need to increase FAE and back off misting a little. Dialing in tubs is a balancing act

I've been using bods Tek with these tubs and so far on the last two tubs, all four corners dry out and the center stays wet with plenty of beads of water. Never goes away. Corners dry and I mist a few times a day just in those spots. On the other hand, someone told me earlier on a different post that I had too much moisture and beads in the middle and those beads have been sitting there for about 3 weeks now. So I opened up the tub completely for about 3 or 4 hours and this is what happened. The blue happened and it totally dried out LOL. As far as colonization, I keep the lid on, but not clamped. I flip the lid over during fruiting. I do not have the tight locking tubs, so even with the lid on the proper way, it still gets a little bit of fresh air I assume.
just can't figure out why all four corners keep drying out and the middle doesn't.

Glad it isn't mold. I was pretty sure it wasn't, but just wasn't 100% sure. So whatcha think.

Finally, after 3 weeks or more, they are fruiting!!! They look crazy haha.
Also getting a decent 3rd flush out of my other tub. Might get like 8 1/2 ozs off a 6qt tub.
