It's been a long time coming! Rye Berries inoculated with Cambodian LC on 10/27. Spawned to 50/50 coir on 12/12. Put into fruiting conditions on 12/24.

I'll post more as they develop.

This weekend is going to be amazing! I hate it when they grow at different rates! I see new pins every day. How do I know when to dunk? Should I pick the ones that are ready on a daily basis until all the pins have grown up?

With MS you often get uneven pinsets, with different rates of maturity. You could pick as they mature, or wait til they are all matured and pick all at once(within reason you don't want them rotting). If you wait to pick them all at once, you will end up with a spore mess most likely. Pros and cons to both strategies. If you pick as they mature, it can be hard to know when to dunk because you have staggered flushes technically. If you harvest all at once, you would then dunk after the harvest. You have to find what works for you. That being said, it looks awesome! Congrats. 
Question: Do you have it under 6500k light?

i pick the ones that are ready on a daily basis.
Dunk when there are no more fruits in the tub, which would be after the first flush is complete.
Next time remember to use a liner under the substrate to prevent side pinning.
Also, not bad for first mono.

Yes, I have a 6500K light 12/12. I considered using a garbage bag, but then I wondered, why is side pinning a bad thing? Is it just because they're more difficult to harvest?
Thanks for the thumbs up on the mono. My second tub is about ready for the fruiting stage. And yeah, I think I will harvest daily. Looking at the pics, I'm guessing most of them will be ready for harvesting Saturday/Sunday, yeah? When you dunk, do you leave the pins alone? Or do you cut them off? Also, I was leaning towards cutting the shrooms from the bed, as opposed to twisting and pulling. I've read enough on this site to make a case for cutting at the base. If I don't cut off the pins, will they abort after a 12 hour dunk?

if its just a few pins i just cut them off before the dunk.And side pinning is bad for two reasons. one is it is harder to harvest, and two is if you dont have side pinning the fruits on top will grow more

Bottom pinning can even happen, which can be ridiculous. Cleaning coir/verm from the base is a pain in the ass enough, never mind having to clean the entire length of the fruit body.
Like Umeltin said, not bad for a first tub. Congratulations

My sub was a little over 4 inches. I do not look forward to harvesting all the side pinners! I figure the only way I can do it is to tip the sub out onto a bucket and pick the sides, then put a plastic bag around it, like I should have to begin with.
Anyway, on with the daily pin porn!

Seems like only 2 veils broke in the night. I'm guessing I'll need to pick those tonight. Hopefully, I should have a few more veils break while I'm at work and can consequentially, not have to trip alone tonight. Or, just wait until tomorrow!
So, seems the best way (according to RR and others) to harvest a mono is to cut, not twist and pull. What would I use to cut? I have an exacto knife, but the blade isn't even an inch long. Seems it would go faster with a steak knife or a big pair of scissors. How do you guys clear your dense forests?
Oh, and is it better to have your shrooms short and fat like mine or tall and thin? How do my shrooms rate?

4 your cutting Q:
when my fruits grow in real close proximity i sometimes use 4 lb test fishing line to loop around the base of the stem,with finger/thumb on the opposing side an pull through,for myself ive found that 4lb works great,holds a good loop, lighter tests just seem to be too flimsy kinda like threads,an a lil harder to come across.lower test line are commonly used for ice/fly fishing so an outfitter/bait shop store would be the place to look..

What do you mean when you refer to dunking? Up to this point I have only done PF so I'm perplexed as to how the heck your supposed to dunk a bulk setup like this?

After each flush, you're supposed to fill the tub with water while keeping the substrate held down by a weight or wooden dowels through the lower holes. Dunk from 4-12 hours. Should keep the water running a bit to avoid stagnation. At the end of the dunk, tip the tub over and drain the water while keeping your substrate in place.
I think I'll introduce the garbage bag liner to my mono after the 1st dunk.

Where'd you here 4-12 hours for a monotub!? 4 hours is the maximum for a monotub.

I've seen difference result from all my reading on this forum. Just like when someone says to put your mono in the dark and colonize for 10 days. It's not accurate info, but it's widespread. I plan on dunking mine for only 4 hours. I'm more concerned with knowing when to dunk. I don't think my mono is going to dry out anytime soon. I don't mist more than twice a day, but I can't help but feel that it's waterlogged. I can't really back it up, since my shrooms apparently look alright.
