Get rid of the fan. Stop misting. Are you growing in a tent or tubs?

My suggestion is tape up all of your holes. Get rid of the fan and stop misting. You don’t need a humidifier for a tub either. The constant drying(from the fan) and misting will cause your surface to mat up and slow growth.
If your coir is properly hydrated when you start there shouldn’t be any need to water or fan or any of that. I use unmodified tubs with the top closed in my 15qt tubs. My 66qt tubs are done in Pasty’s ez-dial tek. (If you have actual seals on your lids unmodified isn’t a good option) Just unplug the fan. If the hole is giant and you can’t keep proper surface moisture you might want to tape it. When I get home I will send you a few pics of what the surface should look like with proper hydration and fae.
Read Beefsupremejr’s hitchhikers guide. It’s in the top threads of this forum. You can’t miss it. It will really help with your next project. It’s got links for other teks and basically everything you need to get you going in the right direction.
Great job getting to this point! You will get some fruits very soon. And Welcome to the shroomery!

I have 8 1in holes around the bottom right above sub covered with micropore tape should I seal those up also?

You literally said you introduced it to a FC
Not to sound rude but which is it... Looks like it's in a FC... The other member may have gotten confused because I sure did...A tub is it's own FC and is set and forget..
Edit** ok it's a tub... Theres literally no reason for you to be doing any of the things you are doing if your water content was correct... Most likely the reason you got the trich... Close it and let it grow on its own.. Your excitement to produce has gotten in the way of your success... Basically a growing pain we have all gone through on here 🤣... Looks like a nice set up tub though... You got it down... Best of luck in the future...

Yes close up all of the holes in the tub. We don’t really use the shotgun fruiting chambers anymore. Your end goal should be “set and forget”. Once I mix tubs I typically don’t touch them until it’s harvest time. I’ll be home shortly and get you the photos.

Proper surface conditions. See how small the droplets are. This is what you want to shoot for. I haven’t open this tub in a week.

 Both pics are the same tub. Just a closeup of droplets on the myc and a full top picture. PE7 isolate growing  These are the tubs I use 15qt unmodified

that tub is infected with trich which also means bacteria. it is fruiting from stress and generally not doing well. start over. automated monotubs are outdated boneyard crap. use a ez dial monotub or other set and forget, there are pllenty of links by bod and pasty if you use the search function. when we are growing cubes we usually introduce fruyiting conditons (oftne gets confused with fruting chanber) lol at spawn right at the get go man.

Should I discard the tub now, or wait for the first flush to start over with a unmodified tub and leave it until harvest? By "FC," I mean introducing fresh air and misting the tub after it's fully colonized not transferring grain to bulk sub.
FYI I have another bag of fully colonized grain in my fridge now.

Yes light is REALLY important. Try your best to get at least 12 hrs a day. Natural is best if you can swing it

That tub isn’t going to last much longer. Personally I would toss it and start over. And yes next run start unmodified. In the meantime read up on “the hitchhikers guide”.

Honestly, I didn’t even pay attention to the FC part. My brain stopped at the humidifier. 😂 or started, however you want to see it.

light is really not that important, it plays a role, but if anything it just igves them a direction to grow. its not necessary for growth.
