A couple Spawning Questions

Hey all, I got two stupid questions for you all:
I got 3 spawn bags that are colonized, and now pinning. Some pins are gettin big, they've been sitting for a bit, life kind of got in the way.
So the questions: 1. How great of an effect would using already pinning WBS to spawn to bulk? In my search, I didn't really find anyone say too much about it affecting the future pinsets...
2. Do I even need to pick the pins/small fruits before spawning, or can I throw it in whole?
3. If you had all the bricks of coir in the world, but only 3 large spawn bags, would the greatest yield come from 1 brick per spawn bag? or two bricks per spawn bag? Time is not the issue, yield is.
Thanks for all the help guys

Your kinda barking up the wrong tree.
It is possible to use your spawn.
the best yields I hear about are from 3-4" sub depths. With a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2.
Good luck, and try not to worry about yield so much. Since you did MS, it's a crapshoot. Do an iso and get a better canopy.

If that bag is pinning, your performance is going to suck if you spawn it...might as well just cut the top off, case it with some verm or 50/50+ and fruit it like that at this point.

No, I'm lying to you 
Seriously though, you can do it if you want...just don't expect stellar results.

Nah I believe you. Frank... but I really hoped it wouldn't affect anything that much....
time will tell I guess, I have no choice but to spawn them. Leaving it as is, will yeild practically nothing. I've left wbs spawn bags alone before.... I've always had better results spawning to bulk...
anyone else here had any success with using pinning spawn?

If you cut the top of the bag off just above sub-level and case it and put in the SGFC it should work fine.
If you are heart-set on spawning though, just do it ASAP. No reason to wait now.
Let us know the results, maybe you'll surprise me!

Don't know how that is if your "pins" are larger fruits, but it shouldn't be a clear no-no.
