Advice on dialing in UnBODified tubs?

So I've got my first 3 tubs going and they're all BODS unmodified 72 qts I believe (not the biggest size but 2nd biggest sterilities he uses). I'm on day 10 and everything is looking good and beautiful as I was hoping for as far as my knowledge allows me to know at least haha. No pins yet but almos visiblyt fully colonized on top.
What I am wondering is of anyone has any advice on how to tell if your tub is dialed in correctly or not, or any tips on what you've done to keep yours dialed?
So far I have not misted any of my tubs yet because the walls have been pretty steadily wet with condensation and I have had just very slight pooling in the top surface on one of them so I fanned for a couple days straight, but have been holding off on fanning to much because BOD says he doesn't ever fan or mist typically.
So yeah as far as I know I have no problems to complain to you guys about so far, just kind wondering if you guys have anything to say? Thanks! Can update with pictures after I get off work lol.

First advice I'd give is to post some pictures here of the tub surface (please take it with the lid off... you won't hurt it to expose to the air) and we can look at it and tell you how it looks so far. Take at least a few with flash on so we can see what the moisture on the surface looks like.
Second thing is go read this tek. Then when you finish reading it, read it one more time. Then read it a third time. Great resource for understanding what the surface of your tub should look like: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053
For real, if your surface looks like that and you spawned clean spawn, you'll more than likely have a nice pinset in the near future, depending on genetics.
In short, the surface should be completely covered in small beads of moisture. If you can't tell whether it is, turn on your flashlight and shine it on the surface.
- Are there a bunch of beads of water glistening under the light over the entirety of the substrate surface? perfect.
- Is there pooling water? Up your FAE more then (flip the lid upside down, turn the lid 90 degrees, put a small fan blowing very gently in the room... not directly at your tub). Don't fan your tub, it's a waste of time and energy.
- Are there none or very few glistening beads of water on the surface of your tub? Take your mister and mist above your tub and let the mist fall down gently on the surface. Don't mist the surface directly, no need to mist the walls, etc.
If you have any questions, ask away. But Comebackkid's surface moisture write-up normally answers 99% of those questions. Good luck

Guarantee this one is contaminated.
The tub in the 4th and 5th pics looks like it could be suspect in that upper right corner. Would it be possible to get a closer pic of that area?

WELL FUCK lol looks like you of course are probably right about that tub, BOD. I got home from work this morning to see some very very slight spots that are either blue or green, tried to get a picture but they just keeps showing up as purely white looking when I take pics. I moved it to a different room and am just crossing my fingers with my whole grow now. On the positive side, one of the other tubs is pinning decently right now and doesnt show any signs of trich from what I know (which ain't much lol).
Thanks for your insight man, also for all you do for us here because I know that I personally have at least 7 of your TEKS or write ups open in my tabs at all times lol.
