It's awesome see the myc reaching over and grabbing the substrate. Can't wait to see this to full colonization and introduce it to fruiting conditions. I hope my first bulk pin set is beautiful, but I have to keep some modesty about it...still have a long way to go before a healthy first harvest. At any rate here's a picture through the lid of the Monotub....the darker area is just in shadow:
 Let me know if you have concerns or questions
Looking pretty good so far

Day 18- Mostly a picture update today. I did t record it in this log but I inoculated 8 more quarts of WBS a week ago (again from MS syringe with unnamed species and strain), and things are looking pretty great. Personally I can tell just by looking at these that I did a better job that the first 8. I shook them on day 4 after all of them showed mycelium and they recovered very quickly, and are now well on their way to full colonization. Really can't remember if I did these last Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday..,,but I'm mildly certain today is day 7 or 8 for the jars, and the Monotub has been colonizing since Sunday morning.

I wish I could take a better picture of the Monotub, but I don't want to open the lid. Everything looks awesome in there to me, I especially love the way the rhizomorphic arms web out. I am starting to think it might be hard to tell when the substrate is at 100%

I'd say now. Looks ready. Also probably going to initiate pinning anyway. Opening the lid can cause that :P

Beginning of day 20- As per the opinions of many shroomerites (a couple trusted cultivators) I went ahead and put my tub into feuiting conditions. I hope I dialed it in well. I found it especially hard to compact the polyfill for the bottom holes, but they are very tightly stuffed, and the top holes are very loosely stuffed. I placed a small fan (12" fan) on low in the room with the tub pointIng at the corner behind the Monotub with no direct wind blowing on the tub. I went ahead with not casing the substrate, I have some coir and Verm, I'd be willing to make a late casing, but I'm willing to save the casing layer for grow #2. I just want to know for myself I suppose. Wish me luck fruiting, and please send this Monotub good vibes! Here's a couple shots of the fruited tub:

Day 23- Picture update today. The mycelium looks pretty good to my untrained eye. I can see small individual beads droplets of water on the surface, and my Monotub looks just like the example of good FAE in franks dial in your Monotub tek. The mycelium is pretty well knotted as far as I can see. I really can't wait to see this thing pin...or blob...

That time between when it starts knotting and when the first pins show up is magical. Over the next couple days you start seeing one or two pins, then more every day.

This is such a great post. I'm about to attempt my first monotub as well and I hope I have the success that you are experiencing. Its been fun following along and I continue to learn everyday.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. The pictures and posts are so easy to follow and I find myself checking back frequently for updates. I'm invested, damn it

Day 24- Still no pins today, but it hasn't even been a full five days since fruiting. I'm not worried,..just very anxious. Can't wait to see what pins in a Monotub look like in person. Here's what my mycelium looks like today:

Day 26- I am getting extremely anxious waiting on pins. I can't help wondering what they will look like. I have a SGFC fruiting PF TEK cakes right next to my Monotub and I think about how small those pins are and for some reason it seems silly to me that they will be that small when they appear in the Monotub....but obviously they will be...I ,wan they have to be right? Today is the sixth day after fruiting, so I'm really hoping for some results before the weekend is out. Despite my penis envy PF TEK cakes fruiting already...I just want the montotub to pin way more. Here's a picture of the surface of the Monotub:
 Thanks for all the positive energy. Hopefully this spirit bomb is ready to take frieza out soon.

Looks a little dry :/ but pics aren't that great. I can't see any water droplets but I'm sure they're there. Realistically it'll pin when it's ready
