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.

Stick with the CFL you don't want the incandescent bulb. CFL bulb with a kelvin rating of 6500 is what you're looking for. You're distance from light to tub should be just fine.

In an ideal world you would want to get something like this light
 Get them at Petco. There will be all sorts of different ones for all sorts of different animals, but they will all have the Kelvin rating very clearly stated on the box. The fluorescent reptile lights are almost always 6500K, and ideally, when you have the money for it, you will want two light fixtures. One 6500K light over the top of your tub, and one 6500K light hitting side.
Now just about every time that I post this the OP tells me that they aren't looking to spend that type of money; they are just looking for what will work best for the least money. That is very understandable. When I first started this hobby I was in the same boat. If this is the case for you, and you do not have the money to drop on a lighting set up then what Hacker420 linked for you is your best deal. When you are ready you will want to get a set up with the lights I showed you. If you are like the vast majority of people who have been involved in this for a little while, you will see that you are going to drop a lot of money on this hobby.

I used to use on of those leftover from when I kept chameleons, found that I got a huge amount of mutants. Switched to a cfl and mutants gone. In retrospect the mutants were deformities, they looked cool tho.

Pretty sure the high levels of UV were the culprit. I got some regular cfl now and they work just fine.

couldnt wait any longer and read up on some blue fuzz, someone said to put a damp qtip to it and if it the color bled onto the qtip it was mold, but it didnt just peices of it barley came on the qtip others said it usually ended up being contamination.... but my myc is pinning? is this okay?
so i went and scooped it out. - should i mist that area with h2o2? and water every so often after that?

Its pinning because you put it into fruiting conditions before it was fully colonized. Use more spawn next time to decrease time on colonizing=less chance of contaminants, and let it reach 100% before you open the lid or give it fresh air.
It did look like a contamination, and if that is the case then it's probably already spread to the whole tub since that's how contams like trich work anyway. Probably best if you hadn't scooped anything out because now the entire side is exposed and ready for more contams to move in.
What you could do is fill it in with a non nutritous casing layer type sub and hope the rest of it fruits out before the thing sporulates with nasties.
Best of luck!

fill it in with vermiculite. Nothing grows on verm and it will protect the exposed sub. And yes. If you get a contam dont bother trying to remove it. By the time you see it in your tub its already spread throught.
This was that whole top layer of sub thing taking too long that I pointed out earlier. Im so sorry dude. Same way I learned my lesson.
Keep fruiting though, youll atleast get something out of it lol. I didnt get nada.

Research rez effect.
Verm is not inert, it contains trace minerals.
Furthermore BRF cakes are 2/3 verm.....mycellium grows on it just fine.

This is flat-out wrong. Check your facts before posting opinion based on limited knowledge as fact.
Fungi evolved before plants. Exactly what do you think they were feeding on besides solid rock with energy supplied from the sun?
Every noob who has ever grown brf cakes through a few flushes has watched them shrink by 50% or more. Since they're 2/3 vermiculite, exactly what do you think is being consumed if it's not the minerals?
If as you(wrongly) assume that fungi isn't digesting rock, exactly why do growers report increased benefits such as vigor and harvest weight from using vermiculite, calcium carbonate, and gypsum? RR

Ah ok. SOrry I thought it was inert, I thought that the mycellium just grew over it in brf cakes. So why is it used as a contamination barrier then?

Because for the filter we use Fine grade verm and it stays dry.

Because, when kept dry it makes a great filter.
Nothing can really colonize it if it's dry as a bone.

UPDATE: FLUSH 1 : 1/2/14 2:00PM havnt scaled yet as i *thought* i only had little time to harvest and put back in closet.
here we are, also blue trich came back but its only in that one spot i cut out same as last time. this time i took extra measures and wiped that area down with alcohol and then sprayed with h2o2 on the exposed sub. hopefully i can get atleast 2 or so more flushes. but can anyone tell me why they arnt as tall or fat as previous shrooms ive cultivated? or was this just a fuck up and theyll be better 2nd flush? thanks for the info

Cobweb and trich are not the same. I would normally blame your fruit size on available moisture and genetics, but I have found that contams like trich will often cause skimpy flushes.

On both. Trich spreads through your sub like crazy before ever reaching the surface. Your mushrooms are fighting this contamination for nutrients and its life lol. This waste of energy is giving you smaller fruits. I'd be pleasantly surprised if you got even a bakers dozen fruits for a second flush if anything.
Also if you started from a ms than size could also be attributed to genetics.

It doesn't really matter what variety you had, if you started with spores that is multispore or MS. If you clone or use an isolate that single set of genetics is what a "strain" in mycology really is. With a single set of genetics you can predict with some accuracy what the outcome will be. With MS it will be different results every time.

The name that some vendor gave some group of spores means little.
Using spores will always give you varying genetics......this is why we isolate single sets of genetics on agar.

1st flush is yet to be dry. 1/3/14

Since no one replayed Iwent ahead and put couple inches of water in the tub to soak it till around 5-6 today.. Not sure if it will make it fruit again but it hasn't done much in 2ish days sitting..
