Nice setup. I would look into some better electrical options as I'm sure you're overloading that circuit which can be dangerous.

It's possible you had correct field capacity but your high FAE was not matched with enough hydration to replace the water that was evaporating away. You can attempt to save it still by putting a casing layer on it.

This is why everyone says none of the extra stuff you have is necessary. Monotubs will provide perfect conditions even unmodified. They are truly set and forget.

You can still use the gadgets you have if you want but you need to spend some time dialing in those conditions

Peat moss and vermiculite at a 1:1 ratio is a true casing layer as it is non-nutritious and the mycelium won't colonize it but it requires pasteurizing which can be difficult for a new grower to do.

Coir/verm will work well enough for now.

Bods unmodified tubs work well for most people but I personally have a hard time keeping the surface conditions moist when I use them. My RH is around 10%

I prefer Pastys EZ dial monotubs for dry climates
