Good for you. You should change your current mood to something other than confused now.

This is very useful, thanks. I am using the exact same marta tent and I am going to give this a try.

I kind of wanted the "excitement" of having it all automated. Sometimes, simplicity is best..

Honestly, once it is dialed in I know the tent will be great.  Its just when you are starting out, at least in my case, it was a bit harder to get it setup correctly with regard to the various parameters especially while I was trying to learn along the way.  I had read a great growing book and had other resources, but its still a bit of a learning curve any way you slice it.  The tub just made it a bit easier to get things going. 
I just put it in a big clear ziplock bag and poked holes all over the top, put it in the tub and misted the walls of the tub a couple times a day when it seemed to need it, that's it. After a few days the Maz was pinning.



I can also give an update on the BM, this one took the longest to get to fruiting and also had to spend some time in the tub before it got going.  I believe the tray had too much of a layer of matted surface from the overly wet/overly dry cycling as another member pointed out above.  But it did eventually recover in the tub and went from this....



To this!   


I have had several trays that seemed to favor one side, but I think its because I had them covered in 2 sheets of foil with a slight overlap of the 2 edges where the pieces met in the middle. I think that one side had more air flow or some other variable that made it better for fruiting. I'm still trying to pin that down, but that's what I'm thinking as this is the 3rd or 4th tray that had that same fruiting pattern. I'm going to do the covers a bit different on the next ones to try and eliminate that. I also understand that a better casing layer on the top can help guide the fruit to a more optimal growth pattern.

The Thai Elephant. This produced some decent fruits and was also very productive overall.


The Golden Teacher. This type also produced big fruits, had some 25-30 gram big ones that were really cool to watch grow.


And the Maz:


Finally, the PES. Some big fruits as well and very productive overall.


There are great resources here that I have been using, maybe they will help:
"How it should look" by Timethyl, this was great visual aid as a way to confirm a few things along the way.

"Threads that have helped..." by pixelpopper, some older posts, but I found lots of good links to info here:
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24733554

"Proper Surface Moisture" by ComebackKid, useful for trying to figure out the right balance. I thought so anyway.
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053

Hope that has helped, I am stoked for my first grow, I think it overall is going well and I am interested in continuing to learn and grow in this pursuit as these are more than just recreational in my opinion, though there is nothing wrong with that either. I suggest that you just keep the faith and carry on. Learn as much as you can and read, read, read on this site.  Also, if you ask nicely, some members will help you get going as well, just be patient and pay it forward when you can. FYI, I also spoke to them and played some good vibe music and I would say that helped as well, but I am just a hippie so it could just be the shrooms talking :smile:
