Is this Monotub ready for fruiting?! (PICS)

Whats up folks?! I have a monotub that I believe is ready for fruiting. This is my first bulk grow so I wanted to get some opinions if this is ready to fruit or if I should wait a few more days. Also, this mono will be set up in my closet so I thought I'd take the time to ask if anyone has any considerations for ensuring proper amount of FAE in a pretty enclosed space... Thanks in advance for your help - wouldn't have made it this far without you guys ('n' gals)

 sorry for the crappy photo quality...

Tape on the liners is fine.
Not when the substrate condenses and the liner is still stuck to the tub. The reason we use the liner is mostly to stop side pins, but if it's not allowed to shrink with the sub, air fae down the sides will cause side pins..

the only tape I have is to cover the holes and it is on the outside. The liner is not taped on the inside, to set the thing i just pressed it into the exposed 1" piece of tape to hold it in place while I positioned it. There is no tape on the inside, should I have taped it to the inside of the mono?! Sorry it really is a sucky picture.. ha

okay, yeah only the grey squares of duct tape you see on the outside are all that I have going on as far as tape is concerned... so by the by, should I fruit this mono or give it a little longer?!

No....consolidation is only for substrates that are ridiculously high in nutrition, like BRF cakes.
Fruit bulk at 100%.

just keep watching for the dry ring around your bottom holes, beads of moisture right across your surface and take lots of pics for me
