Hello all!

This is my 5th time growing cubensis, but my first time using the "Supreme McKennaii" kit from Zamnesia.

This kit is supposed to be very minimal effort compared to what I am used to, which includes injecting the spore vial, waiting for the spawning process, etc. In fact, the website indicates that you do not even need to spray!

I have followed their instructions perfectly, up until 2 days ago when I decided to spray anyway because everything was looking just unbearably dry... Since then, I have experienced fast growth. From what I can tell, the mushrooms like the fact that it is more humid now.

Here are my two boxes:

TUB 1

UB 2 top view

TUB 2 side view (after misting)

So, as you may have noticed I am experiencing the following:

1. Clustered growth for TUB 1.
2. Plenty of side-pining for both.

As I have experienced so much side-pining in all my previous growths, I always tend to remove the substrate and place it outside the box.
My deduction is that the mushies are likely enjoying the micro-climate present on the sides: more humidity?

Finally my questions are:
Is there a way to trigger growth on the top of the substrate as well?
Do you suggest I continue misting from looking at the substrate, or even maybe fill 100-150ml water inside the bag?
Do the white marks on the stems and the mushrooms indicate lack of humidity?

I would appreciate any and all insights & comments since I consider myself still very new to this and want to learn more and keep improving!
Thank you <3

Hello,
Yesterday Cala Pregonda was covered with purple stingers. We tried cleaning up a bit so it was swimmable by late afternoon but after a second wave arrived unfortunately.
I was just wondering if anyone bas been to Cala Pilar recently and encountered the same issue or if it is free of jellyfish? Thanks!!
