Started this 1st time run in a shoe box, using the uncle ben tek, wanting any help from or tips from all of you amazing people, i tried to dub tub and put into fruiting conditions a week ago, not seeing any pinning, temps are 73 to 74 on outside of the shoeboxes, not sure if i should close up the lids and let the mycelium grow more into the substrate, or if i should keep the dub tub effect going, also not sure if substrate is too dry? Being in summer not sure what I'm doing wrong for no pins, i have 2 shoe boxes same strain of JMF so i put one with the lid back on and the other shoe box with the dub tub and a light above it, please help 🙏 desperately wanting a win here
I also did the 650g coco coir, 8 cups of vermiculite, gypsum for the bulk substrate sorry for not mentioning that

No sweat homie, no time wasted. Your tub looks good, just a bit dry. How long has it been since spawn? My quick recommendation would be to prep your substrate with more water next time & to leave the lids on your pins need room to grow. With shoebox tek, our subs get all of the FAE they need from spawn-harvest passively through the gap between the lid & the tub. So when we dub, we're really just giving the fruits more room to grow if needed.
For this tub, I'd give it a light mist & leave the lids secured until you see fruits. Welcome to the shroomery

Thank you buddy for being supportive and awesome ty , so your suggestion is to put the lid back on ,light mist and wait to pin, correct ,no light for now, the lid is grey, dub tub was clear so i though light would help pin?, ty so much for your help 🙏 Also it HAS been one week since putting into fruiting conditions or flipping the lid to answer your ?

Noticed when i put water on the sides w a syringe, the bottom is full of mycelium white as can be, top is dry, should i flip it?, and let that side fruit?, or just mist, inject with distilled water and put lid on it? Also on the other tub i noticed 2 days after dub tub this showed up https://files.shroomery.org/files/23-28/944374857-20230715_105324.jpg

The one on the right, dub tub when necessary if the fruits start to push the grey lid up
