Too many pins? (Pin Porn or Pin Problems?)

I seem to have a quite curious situation on my hands, so I decided to, at the risk of seeming a fool, to throw this one out there: Is there such a thing as having too many pins?
A little background: I've successfully grown in the past, but this is my first real attempt at a monotub. As seen in the pics below, at first glance, I seem to be doing good so far; this is the most amount of pins I have ever had in any grow, by far. However, I do have some concerns that the sheer number of pins currently present might hinder them developing into fully grown fruits; i.e. the mycelium has "too many mouths to feed" at once, and that there won't be nutrients left in the sub to have most of those pins fully mature, leaving me with few fruits and hundreds of undeveloped pins. I've searched the boards for more on this topic, but the results seem inconclusive at best. Some on here have harvested some of the pins to allow the remaining to grow into fruits, while others say that they should be left alone and to just harvest whatever comes of it. I figured i'd toss this problem out to the more seasoned montubbers to get their $0.02 on it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Current specs:
- Monotub w/ eight 1.5" diameter holes & polyfill; 4 top (loosely packed), 4 bottom (more tightly packed) - PES Hawaiian strain - 50/50 coir/verm substrate, @ ~ 3.5 inches deep - ambient room temp of around 73C constantly - FAE provided by indirect rotating fan - RH seems optimal: no "fuzzy feet" around bottom of pins and top of sub has fine water droplets on surface, very little condensation on tub walls. Gently mist rarely.

For sure take and clone each and every cluster you have there.. at least to have that strain preserved to agar to work with,tweak & isolate further in the future. You have an absolutely awesome producing set of genitics there and people take months trying to isolate to get there lol
Dont miss out on future grows like that! Very cool and one of the best looking clusters ive ever seen... Now let's hope they make it to maturity.

Is this multispore?

Not that i'm aware of. I just ordered a random syringe from a Shroomery vendor and spawned it to WBS.

Will do. I'm quite curious to see the end result myself, as i've never had this many pins before.

I would man, but I don't have the time or resources to do so right now, so I guess i'll just have to let this tub go and see what happens. I think PES Hawaiians are just a kick ass strain; this is the 2nd time i've grown them and they were pretty crazy growing then too. My problem is that i'm a tinkerer, so i'm kinda having to stop myself from adjusting things with the tub.

I don't see the point of fanning a monotub, I'd try to tinker some water onto the sub to support the massive pinset.

by the looks of the picture, OP, youre fucked. You mind as well throw out your grow.
The problem you have is an old ailment they used to call "pinninitis"
good luck on the next grow!

I was thinking the same thing, so I poured around 1/2 cup down the sides of the tub this morning to avoid directly soaking the top of the substrate. My main concern is that the sub will run out of nutrients trying to support all of those pins, and won't have enough left in the tank to see them mature into fruits. We'll see I guess.

Why fan a monotub? I mist my mono occasionally if its getting a lot if FAE and looks dry but other then flapping the lid once after I mist I would never fan a mono. Certainly not a few times a day. Not trying to jump on anyone but I see this being said all the time and have never understood the rationale behind it.
