First Time Grow - Help and suggestions welcommed

Hey guys.... Been on here for most of this season now but usually hang around in the hunting section. Have started my first grow and so far so good. I did a decent amount of research prior to my project and decided not to just drive straight in. As its my first grow i decided to use a pre made kit that consisted of rye bag, polymer casing, perlite and hunidity tent thing. As i said everything has been going perfectly thus far however i can see ALOT of pins and dont feel that the bag will be big enough to accomodate all that i can see? I am thinking about getting some perlite and a box from ikea/bnq or something and transplanting it so it has more room. What do you guys think i should do - leave it be or give it more room and set up a bigger FC?
Sorry if everything seems really noobish... I am trying and learning alot along the way. If ive missed anything just ask and i will try and get back to you instantly as i pretty much live on here now. If you think photos might help then just give me a shout.
THANKS

personally, I'd get a box...Chance of contam is probably quite low since your rye is fully colonized.

cool.... is it literally just a case of box - perlite - holes and polyfill? I guess leave it for a couple of hours or so let it sort its self out then switch it over. That it?

jeasus for fucks sake DON'T DO anything, messing with that would be fiddling with perfection. let that sucker cook, mess with it next time around. looks awsome
-------------------- i don't know, but i know i don't know. i'm sure i know this. if you can't grow it don't take it
it wants me to get involved, but i won't. if i get involved why would i come back? I'll just set here and watch. it will be better for now to stay here. but i sure would like to get involved...

if, or when you move the whole mass you will find it to be very much like a "cake" ,,light and stiff, well able to hold it's shape with no crumbling. once you rip all the bunches of mushrooms off that mass, and you are going to get bunches, you can let the mass or "cake" sit a few days to rest , than soak it in water to refresh it for flush 2. then put it in a bigger FC if you like. you have done well

Awesome thanks for the info..... I didnt think you had to soak or dunk rye grain? Or do you just mean give it a very heavy mist after the first flush?
It is.... and has been dense and able to hold its shape since 100% colonization. Do i need to re-case areas that have had mushrooms growing from them?.

Thanks ..... does it matter that there is such a huge difference in size of the mushrooms.... there are some tiny pins on there and some that are pretty big. How can they all be harvested at the same time? Do i leave the little ones on there for the next flush ???
