I'm gonna go to Walmart as soon as I can and grab clingy wrap. With that being said how should I go about fae. Pen sized holes? Needle sized holes? And how many.
Like I've said this is my first grow and i really dont want to mess this up lol.
I appreciate you guys for all the help :smile:

Take a fork and stab the taut cling wrap like 5 or 6 times.
Make more holes as the fruits keep getting bigger.

A few hours may have been a little bit extensive but opening them ime is fine as long as you mist them good and keep good surface conditions. Can you explain why they're all choked out and skinny?  If its not îts not fae then what is it I dont think just lack of light would make them be that skinny.

Read the thread man...the surface dried out, was blueing and he misted it a lot every single hour, that's probably one of the reasons the fruits look like that along with keeping it in the dark.
The dubtub allowed the surface to dry very fast and that was the start of his problems along with misting every single hour so the surface got matted up because of this.
I prefer big tubs any time, but I've done my share of shoeboxes to know they lid on top lets more than enough air in for such a tiny sub.
But you don't have to take my fucking word for it :shrug: the link I provided  is full of evidence of what I'm saying and you're gonna find in that thread many growers with those nifty tags doing exactly what I'm describing.

My bad, I jumped on this thread late. It looks like op has tape around the edges in those pictures tho but maby its just on one side. I also understand the concept of the dubtub and I didnt say that a dubtub provided inadequate FAE.. I'm sure they work good when used correctly.  I've did my own version of a dubtub awhile back that did have holes tho. 🤷‍♂️

The thing is, you can make anything work if you know what you're doing, barring a fruiting chamber that lets very little air in or none at all.
Fuck you can even fruit open air if you have the time to babysit and be a slave to your grow.
But a beginner would be better off sticking to proven methods until they know enough to play it by ear.

I have read somewhere that more moisture at this point produces bigger fruits.
So thoughts on dunking the tubs?

My advise would be just to constantly mist heavily unless your sub is excessively dry. I have some tubs running right now that are unfortunately on the dry side because I didn't hydrate my coir well enough. Misting seems to be doing enough for me, but your mileage may vary.

Take a plastic grocery bag with a few small holes in it and pull it over the shoebox instead of another box on top.

I tried plastic wrap with holes and it gave some of the pins serious fuzzy feet so I abandoned that idea...at this point I'm pretty sure fae and moisture are my best friends living in one of the driest states here. I am just babysitting the tubs and keeping a close eye on them.
Being my first grow and having a dense pinset makes me super nervous lmao I dont wanna mess up this far into it

Today's update, the pins seem to be going slow but still growing.
I've heard it can take a week or two to have them fully grow but here are some pics.
Lmk if you see anything I could be doing better.

Your grow is at a point where it needs way more FAE and humidity than before so it could def use some mistings without fear (looks a bit dry).
The bag is not a bad idea (it's been done hundreds of times) and the dubtub neither at this point, just bare in mind that the dubtub will evaporate moisture off of the sub much faster than the bag.
Still, these are just stopgaps and not ideal for a box that can only hold 6qts total and a sub that is so tiny. The lid on top would have suficed and would have let plenty of air in without drying things very fast in your dry ass climate.

Don't forget that you fucked up at first and let the surface get really matted and dry because of the dubtub.
So next time you buy a shoebox make sure the lid is clear and the sides are higher than your current box and maybe leave the dubtub setup for way bigger subs.

Also, use the search engine to learn how to handle a shoebox, read the thread I provided, etc.. shit like that will reassure you and give you some peace of mind and guidance on what to do when you're a bit confused like right now. We're all giving you conflicting info but the thing is nobody really gave you bad advice, it's just that there are different ways to skin a cat. In the end it's all about striking a balance between humidity on the surface and rate of evaporation by adjusting FAE.
