Need some help on my TC mono tub (Pics)

So it has been 11 days since I pulled the plastic off my Treasure Coast mono tub. I have yet to see any pins. The temp is at 75 and the hummidity was getting low down to about 79. I misted it and then I turned the fan off that I had in there and put in a hummidiffier that is now moving the air. The one side of the tub is starting to dry and pull away from the side. Any suggestions. I have 1 1/2 inch holes on the bottom and 1 inch holes on the top.
I turned the fan off and am now using the hummidifer

11 days of white clouds

I had this little fan on the left running this whole time

well it doesnt help that one side of your tub is against a wall ... other than that it looks like its going to pin soon ... if your RH is low try getting some wax paper from the store and laying across your surface area so that at least that has the correct humidity and induces pinning ... after you get some inch long pins or so you can regulate that a little better with misting ...

It looks like it may be starting to knot in the middle so you shouldn't be far from seeing pins.

So now it has been 15 days that my treasure coast have been in the fruiting chamber and still no pins. Is this normal. It seems to be taking a very long time.

How many air exchanges is it getting every day since you put it into fruiting conditions ?

So this was taken today. It's a mono tub so i shouldn't have to give it air exchange. It has a hummidifier blowing 24/7.

focus.....
you still need to mist and fan with a mono. if your having humidity problems with a humidifier attached your obviously having some sort of issue.
looks like its knotted up well though. cant really tell. need focus. lol
give it time brother.

Ok guys here is a pic of my treasures. So they did not pin on the top of my horse poo it was all on the sides so as you can see I had to cut the pieces out and set them in the center so they would rot. I have no idea why none pined on the top.

That area between your tub and the edge of the sub is a nice little pocket of humidity. I know everyone says casing is unnecessary with cubes, but it does lend a little bit of margin of error when it comes to RH (IMO). Living in an extremely dry area can make it really hard to provide FAE while keeping RH up. So instead of insta-dry on your sub, the casing loses moisture instead, and you can replenish it with misting. Of course, if your tubs are correctly "dialed-in" you shouldn't have any humidity issues, and you won't need to case. Getting them there is tough in 10% humidity though.

(assuming he meant so they wouldn't rot in that beautiful little pocket of moisture between the edge and tub)...

Should I leave the hummidifier running to creat hummidity and air flow since these sit in a closet.

If it's a cool mist set it on a timer to turn on 4x a day. I think running it for 24/7 is causing your problems.

Ok, but shouldn't i have a constant air flow moving in my closet so the mono tub is getting fresh air into the holes.

Dude, you're doing the fans/humidifier all fucking wrong.
Having a fan outside your tub isn't going to blow air into it, and having a fan inside the tub is just going to blow air around inside the tub. You're not EXCHANGING air from the outside to the inside.
Also, you don't have the humidifier hooked up to the FC. You're just humidifying your closet, but your tub is all closed up. You need to hook up a hose of some sort from the humidifier directly to the tub so that you are actually blowing the humidified air INTO the tub...
Either way you shouldn't need all that. If you're going to use a plain and simple monotub and you need more FAE then either make more holes in it, or just open it up and fan it a few times a day (or both).

I took the pc fan out and just cut out all the parts on the side that was growing shrooms. This one popped up in the middle of the tub. I just have a fan running in the closet 24/7.

Got a pic? Not sure what you mean by cutting out all the parts on the side that was growing shrooms. What does your fruiting chamber look like now ?

That fan is the problem. Having a fan blowing along the surface of your substrate sped up evaporation and pushed all of the humidity at the surface away. The reason the pins and fruit bodies were all along the sides and bottom of the tub was because that was were humidity was still high. Air exchange wasn't the problem, it was the improper microclimate at the surface of your substrate.
Lose the fan and stick to the plan. Holes stuffed with polyfil is all it takes 
Edit: Also, you mentioned a fan running outside of the tub 24/7. You don't need a windstorm in your closet. Put the fan on a low setting and point it away from the tub. I've been using monotubs for a long time now and I don't bother with a fan at all.

I wouldn't wait three weeks, it will keep going with or without you. It will keep growing fruits or just teeter out and get contaminated.
You might be able to put it in the fridge and try to stall it until you're available to take care of it again, but maybe not. It would be an experiment.
If you're going away or something so can't wait for the next couple of flushes, you can try to let it grow outside depending on the climate where you live. Otherwise you'll just have to toss it.
