Your humidity is either too low or you're getting great air circulation. The moisture is just evaporating quickly on the top leca. I just mist the top portion sometimes daily to keep it moist between waterings.

I have to work on keeping my greenhouse humidity up but my fans do provide good circulation. The top layer does get dry easily, so I'll mist it more often as you advise. I'm sorry but I have a problem understanding how keeping it moist will prevent buildup, though. Would you mind explaining, please?

Thanks for your advise,
Vicki
