I would ditch the spacers and tape and leave the lid on upright, no clips until pins form, then flip it, slightly offset.

So I see all the time that "You shouldn't have to mist/ Open your tub until after the first flush" and that "surface conditions happen naturally"

And from what I'm gathering, if you get field capacity right from the jump and your tub's conditions i.e. FEA dialed in correctly, modified holes in the right place and right size. Room conditions such as temperature and relative humidity  are locked in. Your tub shouldn't ever really look dry or lack the micro water beads indicative of proper surface conditions.

I'm flipping back and forth between "LITFA" and "give it a mist"

If there are knots and primordia everywhere, but the surface looks a little matte or dry,,,, do you mist it or LITFA? Do the surface conditions with micro beads stay through out the first flush or do those micro beads evaporate or suck up into the substrate before it pumps out fruits like a tsunami pulls the shoreline back before releasing its wave.

I know this questions gets beat to death but I keep coming back to it each time I level up each time I come back to it I get a new understanding based on my current understanding level.

Hi, first time grower here, does this look ready to start fruiting? It's definitely reached pretty much full coverage on the surface, but on the bottom and sides there's still what look like gaps. But it's hard to tell with all the condensation and the vermiculite being all glittery.

how would one go about using hardwood pellets or sawdust(what would be recommended for gyms?)
in a substrate with coir? is there any extra prep to be done or just to add?

as always thanks a lot!

PF Tek question. For those that bottom water, when in the process do you bottom water, and how much water? How often?
