sup dudes,
it's that time of the year and have 2 tubs that were spawned to bulk 8 days ago... rye to damions 5050.
how are they looking? should i put into fruiting on day 10 or wait a few more days?

I'm pretty sure those pictures are the exact same...
But your tubs look really good. Looks like lots of hyphal knotting 
2 days sounds good to me  
Good luck dude

metabolites can mean different things
Maybe a TC can chime in?
..Until they do, do you have any off smells?

If that's hyphal knotting and not condensation, I'd be concerned about metabolites right now. But they look pretty healthy to me. If you get knotting before full colonization and it isn't due to a dried-out substrate, then it's due to contamination and metabolites can be a secondary clue. If not, then it's probably just the normal metabolites excreted by cubensis as it tries to digest a woody substrate.

Those are the absolute WORST tubs I have ever seen, OP. They are completely contaminated and this thread should be moved to the contamination thread.
just kidding. they look great.

Great news. Then to answer your questions, they look awesome to me, but don't introduce to fruiting based on what day it is. Do it the moment they hit 100% colonization. This is one of the few hard and fast rules of mushroom growing.
If you're unsure about whether your substrate is colonized completely, just get your eyeball closer to the iffy spots. Wispy mycelium is okay, but absent mycelium is not. Keep an eye out for dry crap on the surface, but that won't be an issue on this grow as that condensation shows you have plenty of moisture in those great-looking subs.

Wait a week or so if you are patient enough before fruiting. It's good to let them consolidate.

Yeah? Not many people let bulk substrates consolidate to my knowledge. In cakes we do it because the substrate is so nutritious that you really want it digested before birthing, because the mycelium is going to take the time it needs anyway so you might as well do it in a sterile environment where the moisture content is already perfect. In a bulk substrate made of coir and verm, what's the benefit of consolidation?

Fruit those tubs mayne. It looks great, unless you see an overwhelming amount of yellow don't worry about the metabolites, and please refer to them as metabolites not myc piss, that term makes my skin crawl

Well from what I have read, quite a few people wait like 3-5 days extra, but most people just don't feel like waiting. RR says to wait at least a week and that all commercial farms do this. I realize wood is sort of different, but it is the same concept, and he said this regarding cubensis. It gives it more time to digest and also it keeps your sub from drying out. It will pin faster if you let it consolidate. If it hits 100 percent and you put it into fruiting its probably going to sit there for a week before it pins anyways, which will dry out your substrate more. RR claims it will lead to more and bigger fruits.
It seems to help with KSSS being small and ugly, and with PE blobs.
This is what I have read and it makes sense to me. Take if for what you will. It isn't first hand knowledge. I was just recently reading about this, because someone mentioned it regarding KSSS. Maybe opinions have changed slightly, the more recent threads regarding it were about 3-5 years old. I would like to see someone mess around with this with some mono cultures sometime.
