should I tell her to pick all the little buggers on the sides tomorrow late in the day when they mature a little more and continue with the flush on the top of the sub after putting it in a black trash bag and back into the plastic container it was spawned in?
Is that the best way to get a decent second flush from the top of the sub?
Please give me some words of wisdom . . .

You want to fruit it as a big cake again? Or you want to stick it in a tub? It's your call.
Either way, let those fruits develop more b4 harvest. Still a lot of youngins there. Then dunk and roll er..dunk and sprinkle.

well what will yeild and fruit better? A giant cake or if it goes back into the container to focus on top of sub pinning/fruiting? I mean things are going great so far shes really happy with the results but its a learning process and Im sure a few people have had this happen before and know the pros and cons of each. Anyone?

My concern would have been, 'is the fruiting chamber big enough for this thing?'
But since you appear to have successfully fruited it once like that, I'd probably just do it again.
Alternatively you could try to work it into a tub, but that probably involves more handling/breakage.

the chamber is probably not, from what i remember and from the pics there is only about an inch and a half of space on two sides and about 3 inches on the remaining two sides. Getting a bigger tub right now is out of the question for her because of space.

so anyone else have any thoughts? if the tub is too small to continue fruiting as a big cake(fruits keep touching sides of chamber) should all the fruits on the side be picked asap and then the block turned back into a regualr sub and casing? I dont wanna see her pick a ton of premature buggers but I think its a good idea to get back to a normal casing to avoid bacteria contaming the ones touching the side and also foucs top pinning/fruiting for a more even pinset and larger fruits on the second flush. Anyone? Please? Thank you!

sorry that no one seems to be offering any advice but me...
but, I wouldn't worry about fruits touching the side of the fc. If they're growing and not aborting, you're golden. The only issue with size, is whether or not you can keep the RH up with a cake that big in there. But it appears to be doing great. So just keep it up.

so tomorrow evening almost the entire first flush should be complete and mature . . . should i tell her to then pick the remaining small fruits and dunk the casing? What if its just weighed down enough to cover the mycelium sub but not the top layer?

so i did a little searching and figure it would be best to clean off the casing entirly except for the top pins and then dunk. The girly did that but only for an hour and a half. She said the sub was really really heavy already and when put back into the initial container it hadnt really lost any of its size it still fit almost snug. There was no casing mixed added to it and it was placed back into the FC as one big cake.
How long will it take for new pin formation?
Was the hour and a half long enough?
Heres some pics of it tell me what ya think please!

I'm guessing you'll have your new pinset in 5 days. Give it lots of light until then. More is better.
That dunk time seems pretty short to me. Doubt it absorbed as much water as it could have.
You don't need to case, but a very very light sprinkle of verm wouldn't hurt. Then you could mist it a couple times a day for a few days to compensate for the short dunk. This is just like rolling a cake in dry verm. Seems to increase evaporation and improve the outer texture for pinning.
That was a decent harvest and you're doing a great job. I don't see why you worry so much.
