First Monotub *update* Fruiting has Begun!!! (and a lil pin porn) w/ PICS

Ok guys. Just put my tub into fruiting conditions!

I have included pics of the substrate, some pins, and the setup itself. If you could, bring your opinion's my way! Does the setup look good? Fan and Light Placement? Healthy mycelium? Give me some feedback! HQ Pics below...
Also, I fanned for a good amount of time and have the fan currently going... Should i fan more to provide more evaporation and FAE?
And big thanks to truskool for the help, and TranscendingLife and Damion for the tek's!!! And everybody else who shared knowledge!

peace...

Well you should move your fan man. You shouldnt have a fan pointed at your mono's it will dry the fuck out of them. Or is the fan pointed the opposite way? If so your golden man. Looks like your timing for fruiting was in perfect IMHO. Your tubs look like mine do when I put them to fruit.
Looking forward to the pics man

Nah, the fan has already been rotated. Shoulda mentioned that, lol. Just had it pointed at it for a minute to help with the initial FAE.
And will definitely update with more pics...

Thats good man keep the fan pointed away from the tub.
I hope these pins are just some monsters and you get a nice wall to wall pinset coming in now that you have exposed the tub to FAE.
Im impressed that not only is this your first mono but your first grow. Good looking man

Thanks bro! I'm surprised myself, lol... Eventhough I was doing everything right, I was still paranoid throughout... But thanks to you and others on here, its looking good. Can't wait til next weekend. Oh, and I checked again this morning and more pins are popping up. Hopefully there are more to come.

Thanks man. Yeah, I already had bought the trash bags and then I followed TranscendingLife's monotub tek, so I said fuck it and just double bagged it on the bottom and then taped that fauker up, lol. Seems to have worked so far.

The problem I've found with not using the trash bag is as time goes on your substrate shrinks so light gets between the substrate and the sides of the tub, since theres gaps between the tub and substrate air moves around the substrate and tens to dry it out. so the trash bag as simple as it seems actually serves to vital purposes. Not that it's nessacary but it definetly helps. Great tub you've got there. Cant wait to see the results

It is, I just followed Damions tek which calls for topping your sub/spawn mix with a layer of verm/coir... So it only partially colonized the top because their was no spawn mixed in with it.

That looks really sweet man, I'm about to start my first mono - and I hope that it turns out as good!! What size tub is that anyway, 60qt? And What did you use to spawn it with?

Thanks man. It's a 66qt... Ended up being perfect size for me... I used about 7-9 quarts of colonized rye grain spawned to a coir/verm mix done to spec from Damions coir tek. Yeah, I just misted/fanned And there's a ton more pins coming up and more primordia too. I'm hoping to get at least a couple of oz (dry) on the first flush. I've been told that MS is a complete crapshot though. So, I'm hoping for the best. Need to do some research on strain isolation... Hmm...

The easiest/quickest way to help increase your yields is to pick the quickest/largest cluster while it's still a small cluster of pins. Drop that on agar & inoculate some grains w/ it.

Yeah, I want to try that... Need some more grains and to do some more research... I plan on doing a couple of cakes with the leftover Amazon and some cakes and another tub with the 10cc of Venezuelan that I got. Maybe will try it on the next tub or if I get confident enough soon, ill do it on this tub... And btw, I'm sofa king high right now... Blahahaha!

Is this you leaking some trade secrets you have? You said something to someone a few weeks back say you had a way of doing this but wasn't going to say anything just yet. I'm only asking because I (like must ppl)want to know how to increase my fruits with cloning. @ poondocksaint, those tubs are looking good. keep up with it and you'll turn out a nice flush with each tub

Nope, no trade secrets. Still haven't told anyone how to be sterile while doing it...

 First off bro this is his first ever grow. IDK about telling him to put pins to agar. Might want to have a couple grows under your belt before trying that. Sterility while putting pins to agar? Thats a big secret? I dont know how hard it is to put a pin to agar compared to other sterile procedures we use everyday. On top of that its on agar. Transfer away from the contam and you should be golden. You may have to sacrifice some of your isolates doing this but you should still have some good ones.
Im just busting your balls TL. Sorry to do it in MC
poondock keep going man your looking great. Try a few other things then start worrying about increasing your yield. First time cake grower's yield is usually utter shit. With a mono you should increase this already

He just asked a simple question on how to increase yields. Easiest way to do it is pin-->agar-->grains-->G2G-->monotub-->?-->repeat
& don't make me come over there & like the other day.
