Monotub Substrate Too Dry? Is Just Misting Enough?

Hello!
I did the uncle Ben’s tek and got a few bags fully spawned. I then poured 2inch of jiffy mix right out the bag into a monotube with no air holes. Then I broke apart my spawn for a full layer and then covered it with 0.5inch jiffy mix. Lastly, I misted the top of the jiffy mix and misted the sides.
Did I make a huge mistake not wetting my jiffy mix first?
Should I put half a water bottle down the sides so it can soak at the bottom?
Or is just misting the sides enough?
Any help is appreciated!

You should have absolutely hydrated your media first to field capacity. At this point you mist heavily and hope for the best.

that looks horrible you won't get many (or any?) fruits that way. i would love to list everything that's wrong with it but you should just follow a tek. yes you need to hydrate your jiffy.
there's a list of teks here in the main post, just scroll down: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14297019
here's a good monotub tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20356759#20356759
here's a good coir tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11916595/fpart/1/vc/1
