I have a 12qt. tub of tenn stud 50/50 mix horse poo that is on day 6-7 of fruiting and has a decent pinset. I am using misting/perlite for humidification and no casing. Ive been fanning and misting about 4-5 times a day. Should i continue this exactly or maybe mist a bit less? Maybe fan 4-5 and mist 2? Also, can i hope to have harvestable fruits by sat.?

i mean mist the sides of the large tub i have the grow in. I havent misted the substrate directly yet.
But does anyone have an answer to my question? On how to mist/fan now? Do i need make sure the walls continue to have moisture and droplets on it?

if you have perlite in the bottom you shouldn't need to me misting teh walls. the perlite have man ymany many more times the surface area.

All i wann to know is do i need to keep the RH up with condensation on the walls after pinning? I thought i saw somewhere the RH needs to be like 95-100 for pinning then like 80-85 for fruit growth? is this not correct?

ok so should there still be condensation on the sides of the tub at 85% rh? I know condensation means high rh. Maybe no more misting and only fan, unless the sides get dry, then mist a little?
Also, misting onto the substrate is a bad idea right? I didnt know if i should add some moisture to the substrate for fruit size? i dont want to end up w/ small fruits b/c i didnt keep the substrate moisture up. It would probably be best to rehydrate the substrate between flushes though, correct?

are prevails the small white material that is under the small round heads of the pins? It's more noticable on the bigger pins with large pea sized heads. Does this sound normal?
