UPDATES
So I decided to do a mini harvest because a few of them were dropping some spores... I picked only the ones I deemed ready (and a few that stuck to the ones I wanted).
here is a pick pre mini-harvest

here is a pic of what was harvested

and here is a pic of what was not picked

anyone wanna guess what the dry weight will be? (i havent weighed yet... wont till they are dry)

Those sure are some skinny stems on those. Are they getting enough FAE?

i was thinking the same thing... i have a box fan on medium pointed kind of towards the tub.... its about 5-6 feet away... and i open it up atleast 2-4 times a day to manually fan and mist...... moar u think?

next time, pull all of the poly out of the bottom holes. the constant fae will do wonders. also, with a tub that big, don't bother dunking. just start spraying 3-4 times a day for 2-3 days and you will get the same results without exposing your block of myc to all of those nasty kitchen/bathroom yuckies.
also, next time, i'd go with twice as many holes, half that size all over the tote. the whole poly thing is old school and doesnt help release NEARLY enough co2. constant fae and misting FTW!

Not that old school. It's still the paradigm actually. You just need an electric fan going to push some air thru the poly.

I agree ... not that 'old school'.
I use polyfill as a filter to keep stuff .. even critters out of my tubs.
Fungus gnats, slugs ... even had little rats push the polyfill into the tub and climb inside for a snack (no rats in the house .. I'm fruiting outside)
When I fruit, the polyfill is either pulled for maximun FAE, or in really loose as a 'filter'.

I only have 4 large wholes on each side of my monotubs (2x2 squares). I've never had any issues with FAE.I just loosen up the pollyfil during fruiting is all.

total dry weight of the partial harvest shown above was 24 grams.... picked about 3/4 more of it today..... will keep posted about weight... anticipating the first flush to be done in 1-2 more days... pics will come when i get my lazy ass to the battery store.
judging by what has been harvested/dried so far, what is drying now, and what is yet to come, i am anticipating 4-6 ounces dry for the first flush...... im reasonably happy

A 36 gal tub should net you at least 8-16 oz dry at the minimum. I get 4-6 oz off of my 18 gal tubs (I grow PE and thats a low yielder). I'm betting your tub will continuously fruit over a 2-4 week period. I.E. you'll have an extend/long first flush. That pretty normal for Multispore injects and some clone based injects.
With most multispore injection based harvests I've had I'll pick some fruits only to discover more are growing in their place.

there are def still lots of little pins..... the only reason the weights are so low is the really thing fruits and small caps... idk if this is a regular trait of TC (low weight fruits) but when i grew Koh Samui i had single fruits that weighed as much as a handful of these guys....
also, im still really new to this stuff.... ive only got a couple of grows under my belt

Trust me you'll end up with more then 4-6 oz. Especially if you have more pins. Even as a newbi your sub is fruiting. You've won 90% of the battle now. There isn't much variation you can do to increase yields aside from what your doing now. Growing mushrooms isn't highly complex like growing pot. Mushroom growing is way more dependent on genetics, then it is on the environment. So long as you create a fruitful environment you'll typically have a crap load of mushrooms. I've neglected tubs for weeks before only to find I had several oz in them. If you're at least trying hard to have a successful harvest and all has gone well then you'll most likely have a successful harvest. At this point all you need is high RH and a lot of FAE to succeed.

You can accomplish a lot for fae by improving the air circulation around the outside of the tub as well.
