Normal myc growth?

I’ve been running shoeboxes for a bit now and surprisingly have had good luck I’m not getting any contamination and turning out good flushes. This is my first 12qt tub I put 3qts spawn 1:1.5 ratio to straight coir. I’m confident in my field capacity I don’t think it’s too wet or too dry but I could be wrong. I’m just wondering if this growth looks normal I don’t normally see these myc “balls” that’s what this tub seems to have though. I don’t see any odd colors or smell any odd smells.

Looks okay to me, the puffiness doesnt warrant too much concern imo, if it gets overly puffy, it my be bacterial, got any images of the grain spawn?

Don’t have any good up close pictures of those specific jars. I can tell you it would have been 3 of these pictured but not sure which ones. I always try to triple check that my spawn is at 100% no off colors or smells. I remember one of the jars did have some heavy overlay but nothing that concerned me at the time

They look decent enough to me

Your tub is pinning heavily at least a bazillion spots? The white spots?
At this point you can either slowly increase FAE if it had none/little or if it has good airholes and good humidity do nothing
good moisure is a fully hydrated substrate, top layer and walls of container with ideally clean water covering everything, fruits not looking dry or drying out beads, crystals, but not pools of water, standing water, dripping Fruits should loook like they are "exploding with water" as they grow. I think thats a good description
A little back and forth without the sub losing humidity perhaps gaining and losing it, is OK, not not something you should neccessarily be actively seeking
so you should not do something like keep up "100% humidity with your 29$ hygrometer".
Cubes dont mind it a little dank, they pin heavy under low FAE conditions, they like space around them, its okay if its a little dank and stale and dirty if they have space.
Tune up the fresh air exchang ever so slightly progressively as you go along if you cant expand spaCE, but never beyond my wildest dreams would I worry about a healthy cube susbstrate "not pinning" because you didnt mist it enough or trigger it with some exact regiment of fresh air. They "die" pinning under zero oxygen conditions quite impressively sometimes
Never sacrifice humidity or space around them for fresh air with cubes if you dont know what you are doing, they'd much rather have space around them slowly dissapating the heat and the co2-oxygen exxchange happening in low tempo all dank and stale rather than be winded upon continously. They tolerate this as long as it doesnt fracture their tissue or leavinge standing pools of water on top of them for prolonged amount of times without movement. Rain is okay basically. Keep up conditions, never lose moisture from the substrate by walls or top layer drying out, evaporation from the susbstrate should ideally be replaced if it was taken in and out by some automated rainstorm regiment.
At some point they cover the substrate so much you struggle to mist the substrate, they had enouugh water so far, good job then its up to the ambient/room humidity to not affect the substrate as it pullls out as much water and nutrition of the substrate and makes the biggest flush, if it wants to, ofc
also, hopefully finally, you are not replacing moisture inside the fruits by misting them. They get their water from the substrate , but you are actively helping them by reducing moisture lost from the air and substrate.
