If a monotub has hundreds of pins forming on a Tuesday and the grower is leaving that Thursday what would be the best thing to do for the tub? Should a light be left on? A hole(s) be unpollyed? Should there be a temp adjustment from 75 degrees?

From pin to harvest is usually 7-10 days.

Emergency. Thought There was some cobweb. Tested it with H2O2. It started deteriorating. Continued then to spray the tub lightly and watched white disappear. Thought it was a bit too fast. It was peroxide It was sprayed it with. OOPS!! Is there anything that can or needs to be done to save this tub. This one just started showing a couple baby pins.

Just asking, don't get snippy.
How would anybody know what you sprayed it with and be able to advise?
My advice: stop spraying your tubs with things that aren't water. But I understand the temptation.

Ever seen or heard of this before? I'll take your advice for the future just need to know something for now if there is this information available. As for the snippy part I do apologize for that. Four tubs each with their own unique problems at the same time, the one doing fairly well has decided to fruit while I'll be gone for four days. I asked for assistance in posting pics and I get pointed on the right direction but thrown a stumbling block when I could not post but share. I ask questions and get one answer of 7-10 days which is one question I never even asked out of what four questions. Yes I'm getting frustrated. Reminds me of when I was in college with a bunch of weak ass professors who know how to ask questions but can't answer one worth a damn. I would go around answering some questions on here if I wasn't so busy figuring this stuff out. I've been reading like a mad man long before even joining. I've had successful grows and bad grows. What I really need is some good sound answers and advice so that I can help people out. If I don't get this right not only am I out of time and money but a community suffers because they'll join the pill head community of people who lose all moral compass. Or even better maybe meth will beat me to the punch. So pardon my attitude but I need serious f'ing help here

Well, to be fair, I think the 7-10 day response DID answer your question.
I don't know exactly when your tub started pinning but if it's just pinning on Tuesday, then expect 7-10 days for it to mature.
Easy math says that if you leave on Thursday and are back on Sunday, you will have until between the following Tuesday and the following Friday until it's ready. In other words: you're fine. You will have a bad ass tub to return to. 
I'm still pretty new, so if this turns out to be incorrect for your grow tek, I apologize.
Just trying to be helpful.

What I was looking for is what is best to do for them while I'm gone. Light on or off? Temp at 75 or lower/higher? I don't have it automated so what should I do about FAE? What do I do about misting? I have a pump for FAE so I suppose I'll hook that up. But is that going to dry the sub without being able to mist? I know they'll be great as far as time goes but hey what about the other factors? Poly or not? All holes or some holes? Losing some now loses some now. Don't like losing anything. Ever.

Random thought here. Would throwing a casing layer on top of the sprayed tub help at all? I know that would usually open up the possibility of contams but maybe this will do something. Or is this changing too many factors at one time and I will never learn from this. Or better yet if no one knows then the answer is not known by anyone for now atleast

Light on as they can't get too much, just too little. Temp at around 70-73ish, but 75 isn't an issue.
I would make sure all holes are stuffed with poly, you should get enough FAE through the holes, assuming that they are set up with a large enough diameter.
Misting is the only issue and can be automated with a ultrasonic humidifier.
It may not be perfect but its the best advice I can give and, to my knowledge, it should work adequately.
Thing about the humidifier, though, is that you need to make sure it's not feeding that mist directly into the tub. As far as I know you have to give it some extra space for the mist to distribute and thin out or else the air will have greater than 100% RH and the collected condensation can cause problems.

Polyfil is packed loosely with 3 one inch whole on top and three on bottom of both long sides of the tub and one on each of the short sides. One high and the other side low

That should be ok, I imagine.
You said the holes were on the bottom of the long sides, below the substrate or above? As long as all holes are above, you are good.

Yeah they're above by maybe an inch. Sub depth is 5 inches. Ones on top are about 2 inches from top of 57qt.

Also have ceiling fan on and another fan pointed away from the closet on low. Closet door open. Heater in closet facing away from tubs. Just turned heat off tonight to drop temp closer to 70. Changed light today from 12/12 to 16/8 off/on respectively. And for the past few days the window has been cracked for a few hours during the day. I fan 4 or 5 times a day. I spray once or twice. There are some very smooth surfaces on top of the sub. Is this overlay? Should I scratch that surface with a fork. They are the only spots not forming primordia or pins. Total pin on this tub is well over 1000 now. The reason I am attempting to give so much FAE is because that's what I have read that OI need to become massive like they can.

To be honest, I can't tell you what those smooth surfaces are. :S
God, I'd love to see pics of a tub with 1000 pins. haha. That's insane. Sounds like you are good to go, man. Just stop worrying so much about it and you'll come back to an awesome tub.
What kind of casing are you using?

No casing. Most of the consensus that stuck with me said that the increased chance of contamination was not needed nor worth it for a monotub

Can aborts recover? Bluish spots on primordia. Increased FAE and some look to be deflated but others seem to have re-inflated

You need to learn how to leave your tubs alone sometimes. It's one of the hardest lessons in this hobby to learn. Mist your tub good before you leave. Set a light on a timer. Fill the holes with polyfill so a decent amount of FAE can occur. Go away. Come back to a tub full of mushrooms.
