PINS! I've finally got pins in the PE shoebox. However, they're ALL side AND bottom pins :facepalm:  :facepalm: I have learned to not ever use clear plastic as a liner...but I'm not sure that is the ONLY factor although it's probably a big one. I also just cannot keep surface moisture where it needs to be. It's constantly drying out way too fast even with the lid on. There are 0 holes in this thing.

Before somebody tells me my field capacity was wrong, I used the same substrate on the same day in a mini-mono which fruited a full oz and is still going on its 1st flush still with PERFECT looking, tiny water droplets on the surface of the substrate and I have not misted that container ONCE. It is all naturally produced moisture from I was always told the energy and GE of the mycelium growing and creating condensation. That mini-mono has done excellent so far aside from the fact that they also all pinned on the sides but I used a black liner for that one. And they still actually pinned and grew more from the TOP of the sides, actually most of them took to the plastic very well that was hanging because I rushed it and didn't cut it.

However, since I used the same sub on the same day in both totes, I am coming to the conclusion that when I first started these shoeboxes I used the grocery bag with holes. I even used less holes than the majority do since I know it's rather dry in my place. Although I've seen recent posts of others finding success with the grocery bag, I don't think it's meant for me and my environment. I think the lid is much more ideal for retaining proper moisture, I feel had I just went with the lid from the start I would have seen much better results pinset wise.

I also mistakenly used clear plastic as a liner on the PE mini-mono that's still colonizing. I'm thinking of taping it up on the sides to block light in hopes of reducing another pinning trigger.
