Beads evaporation and micropore tape scepticism
    #29638427 -

Hey,

My tub is in the phase of developing primordia, there are few pins on the sub as well. I haven't been misting the sub yet, because there are a lot of those natural big beads on the surface, and I wonder will they evaporate. There are 10 small holes around the tub in the level of the substrate and they are taped with micropore tape. I wonder how much air exchange the tape is preventing and should I remove it to speed up evaporation of the beads? I have also cracked the lid a bit, lid and walls are getting dry but big beads are sitting on the substrate almost statically from my pov. Sub tickness is 10cm.

Don't think about them evaporating. They just need to be there. If you start to get pooling, give them more air. If they start disappearing, restrict (and perhaps mist).

Micropore restricts but you can just tape over or partially tape over as needed with regular tape.

Should I care about moisture on the lid and the sides of the tub if my substrate surface has a lot of water beads?

Not unless it is pooling too much. This is why we use bin liners as well, helps eliminate potential over feeding of the substrate when the walls of the monotub start dripping onto the substrate.

If the beads of condensation on the lids get too big, open it up and shake the lid into a sink and then put the lid back on, this will help with any potential droplets that may oversoak the substrate.

Yeah, that makes sense. My walls and lid are dry and surface is almost pooling, so I have cracked the lid a little bit more, so I don't have to care about dry walls and dry lid (to mistify them or something) if beads are there on the sub, right?

Can anybody answer my question?  Do I have to care about dry walls and dry lid if I have a lot of beads on the substrate, and the substrate obviously is not dry?
Maybe dry walls and the dry lid are indicators of a dry microclimate/air above the substrate and maybe it can somehow affect mushrooms growing in a negative way?

The substrate surface is where it counts :super:
