Kitty, im glad your open to suggestions and not taking any offense from my input! It shows you are willing to learn and not "stuck in your ways" like many cultivators are... I think you will be pleased with the results!
Remember... The shotgun terrarium NEEDS to be elevated so air can travel around EVERY side to work properly...
It is NECESSARY...
Im guessing your tubs up higher are doing better because its warmer up high and warmer air holds moisture better, also they are getting more light which is very underrated for good growth. They may even be getting more air by not having so much weight pushing down on the lid and restricting airflow... Bright light in the 6500k spectrum is good! Also, if you can, get them on a 12/12 light scedule like you would be flowering cannabis... 24 hrs is overkill, they will do better with a dark cycle for sure.
About misting... misting is to replace the small bit of moisture that naturally evaps from the SURFACE of the cakes... With 95%RH and LOTS of fresh air this evaporation is natural and crutial for the best pinsets... If your caps are lookin wet when you check them then they are not getting enough fresh air.
Im glad your gonna try another shotgun, just drill on ALL sides exactly like the tek states, make sure your cakes and perlite are hydrated and elevate the chamber! GOOD LUCK!
