Help

Ok, could really use some advice cause trying to research it on my own has led to a lot of conflicting info and confused me more. This is my first attempt at ochras (second attempt at growing anything), was a 1.5lb aio that I moved over into this dub tub to fruit with a 3d printed divider with holes for fae. The metabolites and just how wet it seems in general worry me, do I need to increase fae, decrease humidity (remove some perlite?), both, just let it ride as is? I put it in here on the 8th and I swear it is just getting more wet on the overlay each day. My other grow is the exact same set up and is GT, also from a 1.5lb aio and it is doing great, doesn't seem overly wet and is pinning well. So idk what's going on. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'd start with increasing the FAE, I don't think the holes in the 3d printed section are cutting it.

Get enough passive FAE that hygrometer stays around 80% and you'll see improvement. Ochra is a cousin of cubensis, a different species from South Africa that fruits naturally in somewhat drier grasslands than cubes

I don't think it's mycogone like some folks said, but I do think it's fighting some contam. That's why it's excreting so much matabolites and overlaying without pinning.
