Does this variety need to be cased?

That tub looks great, now i see what you mean about the droplets, looked like pins forming in the other pic.
Does this variety need to be cased?
You know, I’m not sure. This is my first interaction with it but I’d be open to trying; that is if it’s not to far down the proverbial road to throw a layer on there? lol I appreciate you checking it out btw

No-- unless I'm mistaken only Penis Envy-type cubes need anything like a casing

If you're going to case any future projects apply it after you've mixed up the spawn and bulk material so that it colonizes evenly with the underlining substrate.

-Temp : 70- 72 F
-Light : 12 On/ 12 Off
-AE : 3 x Daily w/ Desk Fan (2-3 mins each)
-Misting : 1-2 x Daily just before Fanning
-Humidity: No gauge/ sensor in place. Just monitoring the moisture on top of the colonized casing layer & using the moisture levels on the sides & top of the tub.

Usually it takes 7 days to fully colonize
Then another 7 days to achieve pins and another 7 for them to mature. So 21 days in total from time of spawning. Give or take a few days.

How long has it been in fruiting conditions for?

Today is Day #6 after full colonization so I guess I have some time... I appreciate the frame of reference! There just hasn’t been much movement in the tub since introducing fruiting conditions but hey, there’s definitely a lot of potential in the starting formations it seems. If you were me, would you just keep everything the same or tweak something sooner than later? Thanks for tapping in

Additionally, I put together an automated grow tent, that had already been in the works. This was to give the ‘benzos a change of scenery of sorts and so I can completely ensure that ALL the aspects of fruiting can be controlled

If it pools up on the surface just tilt the bin to disperse the water as much as possible, Water does not hurt mycelium " "if" the substrate is fully colonized with no exposed grains.
And no, dont dunk it. Bulk substrates are intended to contain all the water needed for atleast 3 flushes. Dunking bulk subs when grain spawn is used only leads to bacteria outbreaks and mold.

You're worried for no reason. Surface condensation is perfectly normal and it does evaporate after awhile.

I appreciate the more level- headed input FunG. I tend to get a bit fidgety when it comes to the I paid close attention to the FC before spawning so I should be good... thank you

A Martha or tier greenhouse? Cause those would require humidification by a humidifier to prevent the substrate from going dry on you. Taking a second look at your photo I'd say to mist it heavily cause it is looking pretty dry. Avoid dunking it though since if there is any exposed grain it could trigger a bacteria outbreak since sterilizing grain only renders the bacteria (bacillus) dormant but given submerging grain in water and fae and it will become active again.

It sounds like you’re well versed with grain, this is my first time not doing cakes actually...noobie stuff. Besides the point, have you come across a better medium to inoculate in your opinion? I’ve seen some corn and popcorn TEKs around but it’s scary branching out into
the unknown!

Time did it’s thing (like usual) and I think they like their new home... got a couple fatties in the works and quite a bit more on closer inspection. So so grateful and thank all you the members who posted and gave me input on this run. I’ll keep updating with the fruits and flushes as it continues.
I’m still a novice when it comes to monotubs and bulk subs in general... would anyone be willing to share their favorite methodologies on how to care for everything in between/ transitioning flushes?
