Looks promising to me. Keep doing or not doing whatever you are doing.

I've pretty much left it alone, except some times I felt like it was too wet so I would absorb some of the water with a paper towel.

Let it dry on its own. If you have a correctly made fruiting chamber you should not need to do anything until harvest. If you are soaking up water it means your substrate is too wet and needs more FAE or less misting.

I figured that, but when I tested the FC on the substrate it was hardly dripping, I think it was more so that moisture was building on the top of my tub and dropping down.

I would suggest you leave it alone. As long as the top of the sub looks like it has some glisten to it and the tub is retaining moisture based on the condensation you should be all good.
One of the biggest mistakes newer growers make is fucking with the tub too much. Just give it time and let it do its thing.

What did you use to make the chamber? I can see 2 rows of holes and see the reflection of the mycelium on the sides.

I try my best to leave it alone, like I said, only mopping up water when I think it's pooling.

I’ve also got a max yield bin and a tub I made from a 60 qt sterilite container. I started fucking with my bin to much on some bad advice. Finally someone told me to leave it the fuck alone so I did and now I’m starting to see my little guys take off. Feels good man. Hard to be patient when you just want to know you’re doing things right. Keep up the work brother

This is a week later, now 21 days from S2B, the weird coloring is actually yellow not that weird color it shows in the picture, I think it's from water dropping down the sides, anyone have any thoughts on what they're seeing here, cause all I'm doing is comparing it to other pictures I've seen.

I've read your posts for the last 2 years or so, just randomly though, not searching for what you've written, just like reading the cultivation forum and have seen you're name a lot, do you think this is a gg, time to start over?

That looks great to me. Any day now. You can use the edge of a paper towel to gently wick water pooling on the edges. Other than that keep doing or not doing what you're doing.

that's the one thing that I've had hope for from reading the forums and looking at pictures, most of the tubs that look like mine end up with a very happy ending lol

and even when I compare the two pictures from 5 or so days apart I can't see much difference at all, but I did notice some of the "knots" or balls got a bit bigger and some of the outside got a bit more yellow, idk, obviously first time so I'm not sure what I'm looking for

Just completed my first, id recommend letting it sit if thats what people suggest. I got very impatient and started opening it and attempting to make sure everything was right and i believe doing all that made it worse. Patience is key, youre in the final stretch. Try not to feel to much for it as hard as it is, it will do its thing, too much may just stress it out for real. Enjoy the outcome
