Outdoor grow newbie here - cubes 400 sqft

Hello everyone,

Been a minute since I posted. Hope all is well in the age of covid!

Anyhoo i started some new outdoor grow projects and my most recent is 400sqft outdoors. Its quite lovely and certain sections are producing.

Let me start by saying I used moes outdoor tek mostly and the only thing different is I had some coco from a previous grow that I didn't want to goto waste so I threw it in the pile as well.

So I dont really have any issues with actually growing outdoors, I've harvested a couple pounds already.

My main question and or wonder is if I can increase my pinsets somehow. So okay my main reason for posting this is because I'm wondering should I go light on my straw on top or keep it thick on top with wet straw?
The area they are in gets light 60% of the day and the top straw has dried out. However I laid it thick enough that about an inch down is wet straw still and the pad itself is still moist.

Should I just leave it or is there a way to get better pinsets by keeping it covered longer... shorter? More moisture, less?? These are the things I'm wondering.

Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

both indoors and out, evaporation is one of the main pinning triggers. so don't have the straw so thick that no evaporation is occurring down at the substrate level.

Appreciate it.
However my main issue is temperature atm. It dips down into the 40s here where I'm at qnd the cubes still grow... they are just short and stubby. Which I'm only assuming is due to the cold weather..

I was hoping that having an extra layer of straw on top might keep the mycelium warm but if the trade off is weight in the end vs nothing growing due to the cold. I'll take the lower yield..
