Hello, I was wondering if I should harvest the largest one shown. These are growing on 4 oz jars, half of a half pint.

You can harvest that one really large one, but the others don't look like they'll be ready until tomorrow. If I were you, I'd just leave it until tomorrow then pick & dunk.

youre supposed to wait until the veil breaks.
it had at least another day of growth left in it. woulda been much larger.

damn on the BRF. Nice on the mono call. I'd use 7 of those jars for your first mono & G2G the left over one to 8-10 more jars. That way you get the G2G procedure down & made two monos outta 1.  
I just got into monos in the past 2 months. I love them! I used to have a badass GH set up, but it was too much work to dump 4 gallons of water in it once a week, so I went to monos.
That veil is about to tear...lol. & I told him, he can pick it if he wants, but I'd leave it until tomorrow.

I took the pictures last night before I went to bed. When I woke up this morning, they appeared larger and cap more pronounced. I misted and went to work. When I get home from work, I'll scope em out and see what be up. I haven't harvested yet

Yes Todlow, I do plan on using 7 quarts for tub then using last jar to G2G it. Will 7 quarts be okay for one tub? What yield should I expect from 7 quarts WBS?

It's MS, so your yield is a crap shoot. I've had a 1:1 (10 jar mono) give me 10+ before (see pic above) as it was when I was doing GH stuff & 4 of my tubs = 1 mono. No really way of telling how many you'll get.
I would say 3qt of WBS is the absolute minimum for a mono tub using Damion5050's Elementary Coir tek. It's the only thing I use for bulk. For that recipe, 5qt of WBS = 1:2 ratio of substrate to spawn. You'll be fine w/ 7

Dont get me wrong, im new to this, but i was thinking the same as ^. I only see one broken veil (meaning you could take that one) but doesnt it seem you should wait another day (maybe 2) on the rest?
Like i said tho, im new, so i could be very wrong (and by all means please correct me).

huh? Those a pretty ready to pick, do you see the veil tearing. I'd pick them.
Those other veils will tear in 6 - 12 hours.
here's a 24 hour difference in the last tub I've done

Ah ok thats where i always go wrong. Even tho i know better now i still forget that fruiting is only a matter of days to begin with (when i was first being taught the basics i was presented with a 2-3 month timeline lol way off). So ya, my perception was twisted, i was thinking fruiting was at least week or two process, but of course now i know it isnt (more like a week tops).

Thanks buddy. monos = Duh..haha. I got tired of having to fill my bulk humidifier once a week w/ 10 gallons of water, so I switched to monos.

I am going bulk as soon as my jars of WBS is ready! Todlow, this may sound ridiculous, but I want to get qp flushes. If I use 20 qrt jars of WBS, will this accomplish?

dude, if it's MS, there's no telling. However, I have found higher ratios to be more consistent w/ one & done flushes, leaving you with 1 flush of 8+...That tub above produced about 10 crackered @ a 1:1 ratio.
I don't go for qp flushes anymore. I want 6-8 (or more, of course) for 1 flush then just toss out the substrate.
I wouldn't go over 1:1, because then you're basically doing cased grain, which doesn't work as well as bulk substrate. Do 10 jars to 1 tub per Damion5050's elementary coir tek Follow the Tek to the T & you're golden.

Thank you for your help! So, if I have 10 qt jars, will my ratio be the same for sub? 10 qrt spawn and 10 qrts coir? I am no way a math dude and I need an exact measurement lol! Sorry for being a mathematical idiot

lol. it's all good
1 coir brick = 8-9 qt + 2 quarts verm = (roughly) 10-11 quarts.
Therefore, 10 quarts of spawn is a 1:1 ratio. 
Just stick to D's tek to the T, you'll be golden. If you can only get fine verm, use 3 quarts, if medium use 2-1/2 quarts & for standard large verm use 2 quarts. Make sure to only use 1 gallon of water. Don't use more!

lol.
Check the AMU Q&A Link in my sig. All of our bulk teks are listed on the first page. that's all you really need to read. Just keep running the process over & over in your head. Go to where you're going to be spawning & do a "dry" run of it.
I just take my bucket once it's cooled & dump it into the mono tub that's been prepped & cleaned. Then dump in my broken up grain. Next, Take gloved hands & mix all that shit up nice & put on the lid & leave it for 14 days.
You'll be golden
