Since most people are probably going to read the new posts first I'll just post updates in new posts as well as edit the original, just so everyone is on the same page.
 I actually had already harvested a wet ounce off of this last night because there were caps open and I didn't want to wake up to a sporasplosion if I could help it. Will post results / wet weight soon. If you have access to the marketplace keep an eye out for a contest for prints. There will be three print prizes up for grabs (but I won't be able to send them for a few days until I have time to buy a book of stamps and envelopes and nice paper.) The prizes will be for: Closest guess to wet weight. Closest guess to dry weight. Closest guess to total number of caps.(remember, I've already harvested a wet ounce off of this sub so you won't be able to use the picture alone to count) Whew. Time to put on the gloves. On a side note, I am also going to be cutting as close to the base as I possibly can and after all the full shrooms are off I'm going to be swiping any of the remaining blobbyness which will also be included in the wet and dry weights. Put on em thinking caps! Plus I will also post a picture of the harvest from two angles so you don't have to guess right now and MAKE SURE YOUR GUESSES GO IN THE MARKETPLACE THREAD AND NOT HERE. Any guesses here will not be eligible for reward.

You jokers make my projects worth posting. If you weren't here the only encouragement I would get would be from Notahacker 
I don't give charity but I would say you two have nothing to worry about. Did you see how many caps there were?

HARVST COMPLETE:
 Picture includes all full mushrooms plus a small pile of blobs I removed from the substrate. I tried to pull the whole thing out a la frank's harvesting method but I felt the substrate starting to break in half as I did it so I just went in with a scalpel and started carving. Something things I noted: The substrate felt really 'weak' / 'gushy' like this flush had consumed a lot of the nutrients already. There were lots of side pins because I used a white trash bag for a liner. All the side pins were on the side that was facing the light. This confirms that light is definitely one of the important pinning triggers. Pins on the sides were ALMOST non existent while there were absolutely no pins on the back. When I first saw the shrooms coming in I thought the bottoms looked way to fuzzy but they actually didn't turn out that way. They are very proportional all the way through HOWEVER these shrooms and the ones in the first air pump tub are way denser and meatier than any shroom I've had from PF Tek or a traditional monotub design. They also didn't grow higher than about 4 inches max. I hypothesize that this is because the freshest air is being piped in at the substrate level. Therefor the mycelium develops more at the bottom and the caps don't raise too high above the substrate when that's the place where most of their fresh air is.

I did mist up to once a day when the substrate was still pinning. Only when it looked dry. After the pins start growing big the humidity goes through the roof because the hoses struggle to move air through the 'forest'

This is a sterlite 66 quart tub from mal wart.
Another thing I noticed was that for some reason the substrate seemed really fragile on this tub compared to the last air pump. I don't know if it's because this mycelium is just naturally less dense or what but the last time I used to be able to nudge and push the shrooms aside so I could clip them. This time ANY time I brushed up against a shroom with my hand the cap broke and if I nudged it too hard it would uproot a part of the substrate. In the second harvest picture you can see the pile to the right where I saved all the pieces of substrate that inadvertently ripped up just from brushing too close to the stipes. I've got a wet weight but no cap count yet. Heading over to the marketplace now.
