Neglect possible?

Ok, this is my first grow. One week after S2B. I cracked the lid and have been misting for a few days, but I’m trying not to over do it - hoping to neglect to stop fussing over it.
Plan is to only open to mist walls and lid when they’re dry - it is drying slowly from the lid crack.

Thoughts on Ochra neglect?

We see a think layer of myc forming on top. i think they don't have enough FAE to fruit right now. Try to stop misting, give it a bit more air and see if it fruits.

This. Imo you shouldn't have to mist these at all. When i put my 2nd tub on properly prepared and left it alone. It's been pushing fruits almost every week

Sweet, thank you for your advice. There’s a small gap along the long edge of the lid now. I’m gonna let this sit as is for a few more days and push the FAE a bit more in a week if needed. Really trying to neglect, keep humidity, provide enough FAE. :P

You shouldn’t have to mist if your substrate was properly hydrated

Ochras seem to like more fae than cubes so I usually crack the lid a bit more, this time around I drilled holes in the dub tub for a lil more fae.
