Lol appreciate it
Should I leave the fans runnings as long as possible or ?? And I'm also under the impression that you only need like 4-6 hours of lite.. But more doesn't hurt?

You can always plug it back up until it is fully colonized. It seems really premature
Huh huh he said premature 
And leaving the fans running might not be necessary. If you do use fans though make sure they are not pointed at the tub but are just blowing air around in the room that your tub is in.

just make sure you have nice beads of moisture across the surface of your sub, lots of condensation and a dry ring around your polly thats about an inch round. anything that doesn't fit the above you may be getting too much fae and need to adjust your top holes

That does not look anything like cobweb, you should stop misting with H2O2.

Update: 12/29 2:13am It started to pin yesterday morning!!! I'll get pics up most likely later this morning.
I also have a question. I've got a 72watt bulb facing down on my tub from about 4 - 4 1/2 ft. But would a cfl be better? I've got a couple around but not sure about that wattage.

Ive seen people like i beleive notahacker reccommend the cfl's. Deff not cobweb and also if your using damions bucket tek id reccommend you do some research on what a casing layer is and not use that step of his tek. What he says is not a real casing layer and promotes longer colonization time due to a layer of unmixed sub with no spawn in it. Wich we all know with bulk, contamination is pretty much just a matter of time so anything that unnecessarily prolongs the period before fruiting is bad.
