Also noticed quite alot of water under the liner had started to build up so I've added a little hole on the corner of each tub so I can drain any excess water what builds up overtime.

I’m waiting on two tubs to decide if I’m going to start using liners. Harvested like 100 side fruits this morning. Not fun and very messy! I think putting a hole to drain bottom water isn’t a terrible idea. In theory it makes perfect sense

I have got condensation on the tubs again. So just in a few hours ive managed to remove probably 100ml of water without the humidity even dropping inside and allowing more water to evaporate. I think by tomorrow morning ill notice the difference in moisture on the surface. I think now I understand how it all works I really didnt understand you had to dial the tub in first before its Set and forget I just assumed because I drilled 6holes in the tub it would be enough for my house/climate. I think adding a few more holes will help me out in the future once these tubs are done.

I think I was stalling the growth with too much moisture looks like I'm on the right track now. All tubs looking good even the small tub is still going strong. :mushroom2:

Yeah I think the FAE will make a big difference. Just “dial” slowly. No need to drill a bunch of holes if you only need 2 or 4. Keep in mind when summer comes your tubs needs will change some. I’m still trying to dial my tubs in better. First it was what size tub I was going to use. Now that I’ve settled on the 15q “shaq” boxes I’m working on figuring out the perfect amount of fae. For those of you that don’t know what a “Shaq” is……Shaq was an NBA player with size 21 shoes. This shoes wouldn’t fit in a normal 7q “shoebox” so distinguish between 7q and 15q I call the 15q a Shaq box

Just a quick picture of the surface on the B+ tub, managed stop more beads of water forming overnight. Ill fan the tubs every 6hours or so today just to help bring the humidity down abit more to help that surface moisture evaporate. I defiantly need more holes in my tubs for future. Also leaving the lids cracked abit inbetween fanning. I could skip all this by dabbing a paper towel but that's not how nature would do it.

I’m thinking when I made that tray I compressed the edges better and it held more moisture than the middle. The gap actually made it easier to harvest so that was a positive!

I am now a fan of using a razor knife to harvest! Made a big difference in my time and end result!

Thats what happened with mine I think, with it being my first tubs I put more effort into the sides to avoid side pins but doing so made me not compress the middle much. I've learnt alot already from this, I wish I knew what I do now a week ago and I'm sure I'd already have some fruits to show. I think I see knotting happening now the RH is under control. I just need 2 more holes in each tub in the future but for now ill just leave the lids unlached and that keeps the upper portion of the tub 85%-90% RH

Right so today is day the start of day 12 and we finally have something to show, B+ tub looks like its knotting up really good now, PE tub is still colonizing id say 90% done now and the Small "funky" tub somehow is doing the best with its first pins forming! Looks like a nice cluster about to form weeee  :grin:

Just praying they dont abort now, If i kept ontop of the moisture 3days ago i'm sure id be in a better position because just 24hrs of proper FAE has made a huge difference.

I’m about to go start harvesting some trays. I didn’t have any luck picking up a dehydrator the other day in a store. Had to order one that will be here in a few hours. Which actually saved me like $30. I have a 5rack unit coming.

I’m getting consistent results on the 15qt trays. Actually a bit more than what we shoot for per qt of spawn. Not bad for my first project in 10 years

Im just waiting to see a worthwhile amount of fruits before I order a dehydrator. In the past ive always just dried my liberty caps on parchment paper overnight as they are small compared to cubensis. Liberty caps are still my favourite :mushroom2:

So I went on Amazon Thursday and was looking at them. Went to the store and didn’t have any luck so back to Amazon. To my surprise two of the dehydrators I was looking at were both discounted. One was 10% and the other was 16%. Ended up saving a fair amount of beer money!

When you do decide to pull the trigger start looking online a few days before and wait for them to offer a discount.

Amazon is just the place to go these days for ease you do pay more usually unless the sales ofc. Just done my check on the tubs giving them their little mist and gentle fanning for 30seconds and the B+ tub + funky tub are pinning real hard now! I dont want to jinx it and I know alot will become aborts but it looks like its a pretty strong pinset :mushroom2:

Ill get pictures tomorrow once my camera can make them out in a bigger photo as right now its struggling to pick them up without being super close to focus.
