Yes looks like knots. The discoloring is probably due to metabolites, perfectly normal in fact a sign of health

lookin good to me but i havent done a grow in a couple of years soooo... lol but why didnt you allow it to fully colonize before fruiting? or did u case and it colognize the casing layer?

Shamanic Scientist said: Here's what the tub looks like this morning. Some of the small uncolonized patches look like they're starting to fill in will small white "dots." Could these be knots? I'm also wondering if what to make of small areas of discoloration. It's subtle, but you may notice small areas of mycelia that do not appear to be as brilliant-white.

the discoloration is most likely metabolites from the mycelium. You should be concerned you start noticing extremely rapidly growing patches of brighter mycelium. Usually, that's how trich starts!

I'm a novice and you might be surprised at how difficult it is to get clear and consistent information going into this stuff for the first time. Many people people seem to think it's optimal to add a casing layer at 100% colonization, and fruit at ~30% of the casing layer being colonized. On the other hand, I've read multiple sources say that a casing layer doesn't matter much for cubensis...
I will post higher quality images once I start seeing pins.
Thanks!

Casing layers don't really matter much for cubes, but when u do use one, you apply it gets applied at 100%, and fruited at about 30%.

Should I be concerned that I have some patches that have not been fully colonized yet? I've seen plenty of grow logs with good growth both with and without completely full, solid colonization across the entire substrate.

Yes that means conditions could be better

- Can someone comment on the morphology of my pins at this stage? Is there anything that might tell me some parameters of my tub to tweak?
Thanks!

Pinning near the sides is due to humidity being the higher in those locations.
 My gut feeling about the pic above is mold. It just doesnt look healthy. See how no pins are forming only around those patches of "growth". I could be wrong, time will tell.
You really need to consider going with the 1-2" holes stuffed with poly fill next time around for your mono-tub setup. 4-6 holes drilled near the surface of the casing and 2 at the top opposite from each other.

"See how no pins are forming only around those patches of 'growth'."
I do not understand this sentence.

neither do I 
the reason pins form along the sides of the tub is because conditions are best there. give your sub a nice mist.
what kind of filters do you have in your tub holes? and how large are your holes?

true, judging by the bluing of the substrate, I'd say they're large and it's pretty dry in there.

I think you're probably right. I am using a hydrophobic, breathable fabric that is readily available to me for cheap. It is designed to prevent animal dander, allergens, etc. from getting through. I have been misting at least twice a day, which is basically all I can do during the week. I can cover up some of my windows partially.
Thanks!

Take a look at the first couple of posts on this page of the thread. You can see a view from the top on the outside, and from the inside. My window on top is very large, since this is also where my light comes into the tub. From the inside you can see the three other windows I have. Compared to a standard monotub, 3/4 of my windows are large, but I can partially cover them up from the outside.

Maybe use some tape layered piece over piece to try to effectively make the holes in your tub smaller, then stuff them with poly-fil or something to retain some moisture in there.
since you can't mist often, it might help.
