 pinning help

ok guys, here's the situation in a nutshell. I have a 58 qt monotub, 100% colonized, mgmc + casing layer applied 36 hours ago. my issue is, ambient room temp is hovering around 78-84, averaging around 80-82ish despite my best efforts to get it down a bit. I do have an old fruit room in the basement that is around 66-68 usually, but it's recently had standing water in there (old house) and I'm not really sure I want to put my first grow in that environment polyfill or not lol.
I guess my question is should I bite the bullet and move it down to the basement with lord only knows what spores lingering down there for the lower temps, or can I leave it sitting where it is at above optimal temps and still get pins? the room it is currently in has a ceiling fan that I've been keeping on 24/7, I can always start fanning it for some extra fae. ideas? suggestions? experience in a similar situation?
I've done some searching but couldn't seem to find the answer to my issue here. thank you for your time

With standing water i would defiantly be concerned with contams, Id say let it go in the slightly higher temps and see if it will pin it might take longer but i bet it will still pin upstairs.

Make sure the humidity is perfect and keep it where it's at. It's not as if the fungi doesn't want to propagate.

Leave it where it is,you shouldn't even really need to worry all that much about the humidity in a mono-tub either unless that fan is drying it out,if it looks overly dry than mist it but more or less mono-tubs kinda take care of them self,as far as the temps go its really kind of a non issue,certainly not much to worry about,cubes can fruit in temps higher than that

I would leave it. But I have setting water 100% of the time and the same temp as you and never bothered my Martha.

If you're very determined to drop the temp put it in the tub with come cold water.
I don't mean dump it out I mean cool the container it's in...a bit of ice may help too.
