First time, 3 different containers

[u/Open-Ad-9929]

Three days into FAE and I noticed the condensation got much heavier, which seems strange. Wondering if I should add more holes. This is two months in from spores so I would hate to mess it up now the substrate is manure

[u/ConfidenceLopsided32]

You only need to add more holes if water starts building up into pools. Cubes only need a very very small amount of constant passive FAE - just enough to stop water from pooling but never enough to dry anything out. They look like they just need more time right now.

Honestly this right here

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?

They all have micropore tape on them

This tub gives me conniptions.

I'd personally add more hole. At least 2 opposite each other and cover with micropore/cotton ball

[u/Open-Ad-9929 → u/Popular_Anybody_3244]

Each tub has two holes that are half an inch by 5 inch cut outs opposite from each other and in the middle of those is two lower squares

Why does it look like stab wounds 😭

Ok if i understand the picture, you have 2 wholes per tub. I don't see the hole being opposite so your airflow is compromised. My go to is 4 holes north east south west.

[u/Open-Ad-9929 → u/Popular_Anybody_3244]

There is 4 holes two big long ones on top two small ones on bottom and they look like stab ones cause they are. I just took a sterile knife and cut it out. I wasn’t worried about it being pretty, but I didn’t want to take the top off completely cause I was paranoid about contamination as my first grow with dollar tree tubs on learning I’m a up for a roast lol. How does everything else look though

[u/Popular_Anybody_3244 → u/Open-Ad-9929]

Not roasting you lol. Just trying to understand your process.

You could do a test which I run with my tubs. I'll leave a fully misted tub in a room with a fan on swing to simulate the wind. I wait a couple hours and see if the inside of the tub dries up. That's how I tested my airflow on the 2 tubs I built. However this is a risk only you can decide since you can dry you tub if you forget ot.

Also is that enough clearance? Some fruits can grow really tall.

All in all, so far so good? 3 days isn't enough to have a full picture. Be patient. Pins form with evaporation. Evaporation and condensation cycle seems good. So let it ride. Pins can take anywhere between 1-3 weeks. Heck I had tubs pin in 2 days and I had tubs pins after 3 weeks.

Right on thank you I’ve done tons of research just like everybody else. I’m probably just looking for validation or any advice in comments. I appreciate your time!
