MonoTub ready to fruit? (pics!)

Is my monotub ready to be put into fruiting conditions? it looks like i have a bunch of knots forming, the round dense poofy circles? you cant tell from the pictures but a lot of the "knots" are raised up along with some rhizo growth.
I have read from transendinglife that he waits until he sees pins to introduce fruiting conditions but i don't want to wait that long because there are some large water droplets starting to pool up from the humidity.
This is Penis Envy at 6 days to bulk coir, coffee, verm, gypsum. 1-4 ratio.

can you see the bottom? If the bottom looks completely colonized too I'd say you're good to go

Taping the sides of a monotub is pointless.
Light is not the cause of side pinning, FAE is.
This is why we use plastic liners inside the tub.
THis way as the substrate consolidates and pulls away from the tub walls, the plastic will stick to it, eliminating the microclimate that pins love, and stopping FAE from hitting the sides of the substrate.

yea i realized this right after i had mixed everything up. i will next time. but side pins aren't a huge concern. ill have enough shrooms from this tub hopefully.
there is so much outdated info on this site it can get confusing to have to double check each step.
