My first grow! UPDATED: Pics

Hey guys. I've been cursed recently, had a lot of problems but in the end my monotub actually fucking fruited. I had mold grow on the masking tape I used (never using masking tape ever again) and had a weird bright yellow spot that ended up being piss.. It's still fruiting right now with lots of pins popping up every day, but I have this one massive monster shroom that grew faster than the rest. Last night the head must have opened up and broken the veil, while the little pins are still growing. Should I pick this shroom already and dry it out while the baby pins are finishing up? Or should I leave it in there until they're all done. This thing is massive, you can't tell from the pictures but it's 8 inches long and 2 inches fat.
UPDATED!!! My first fruits. The only thing I've ever accomplished in my life.

Yes pick it before it drops spores all over the tub. I almost never pick all at once. Unless it's clones. Sometimes I'll just cut caps off and leave the stipe until the others develop as not to disturb the substrate. Pretty sure Pasty has some monos with pics like this....

Clone it? Does that mean take a print or what?

No a print will not result in a clone. Here is a Tek from a very trusted cultivator. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17784996#17784996

Hey guys. I didn't make prints because I don't have the necessary materials, because honestly I thought I wasn't gonna grow anything. I didn't believe in myself and although I followed the steps perfectly, and still just felt nothing but negativity the entire way. Until this shit blossomed. 85.9 gram giant fruit, which I ate most of and that's a different story. There's more growing!

CLONE DAT BIATCH
Though honestly I'm experienced enough to say if cloning boomers is a good idea as opposed to clusters.
Regardless, not much to lose from cloning it. Also it may have pinned in subuptimal conditions which could be a nice trait.
Pop like 3g syrian rue and that single mush will prolly show you an amazing time.
-------------------- I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube." No, this does not look right...

I only managed to eat like 2/3rds of it, fresh mushrooms taste horrible. But yeah sadly I can't clone this batch as it was only a test and I don't have the required materials. But I'm going to try again..

You can clone without agar. I've done it dozens of times. Just prepare some grains, take 1/8th cup, and put it in a pint or half pint container, PC ~50+ mins.
In your air box, tear the stipe in half, and with a sanitized or flamed knife/razor (I like boning) slice out a two small, clean tissue samples from the bottom center, and dump'm on either side of the jar. Observe for contamination. G2G that to a master.
I suppose you need an air box. That's about it. You can use PP5 containers for the grains if you don't have small jars.

I know how to clone, just didn't have the required materials, or the resources to get them. I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck so next week I can begin bulk...
Here is pictures of my fruit! First batch ever!!! 45.8 grams dry, not including the giant 85g wet mushroom.

I've seen the four holes on the long side of the monotub more and more, is this an accepted technique nowadays? I've always done two hole on the short sides as far up as you can get with poly barely holding on, and two holes on each side of the long sides, with poly stuffed in there tight as you can get. What does the four holes do, besides extra FAE?

Most of the teks and recent uploads of monotubs seem to use that hole design so I stole it. I guess the bottom holes are tightly stuffed and the top holes are barely stuffed, making an even flow or something. I'm nowhere near skilled enough to give useful information.
And yeah man. I have a friend who chain smokes and within a few hours of hanging always manages to fill at least 2 ashtrays. And it always fucking spills because of him and I always tell him to empty the fucking ashtray if he's gonna chain smoke. I just feel kinda bad because he's a good friend just a clumsy forgetful person.

That picture is my bedroom using my weed scale lol. But thanks man. By the way I smoke too, but a pack will last me a week easily... every time I hang out with this kid he leaves his cigarette butts all over the fucking table and I snapped at him pretty hard the other day. Put down the toilet seat, wash your fucking hands, and don't make a fucking mess are the only rules in my house, and yet my friends always seem to "forget". It's alright, I control their drugs anyway

Congrats on strong myc saving the day and fruiting anyway. I love seeing people successful on a first attempt. Only got 2 of 6 cakes to fruit/not contam my first time around for a whopping 46g dry after 3 flushes. Since I've gotten a lot better at sterile technique. It will only get better from here. I suggest starting to learn agar as stated above though. I just did this last week and have some morel myc I let grow through some cardboard to help isolate it from contam before putting on agar and it looks clean so far 5 days in. Fingers crossed. If not I'm sure I'll get practice transferring and isolating plenty. Haha.
Cloning to agar or to grain jars is how a lot of those beautiful,full, and even flushes myself(and probably every newer cultivator on here) are done by the TC's after PMing a few and reading their grow teks. If you get another flush clone one of those beauties. There's just something about seeing a fellow new grower getting nice big mushies that starts my work shift off right. Thanks for the inspiration, keep it up, and FUCK that mold metropolis masking tape. Shit has fucked me after a couple months at high humidity too!

Oh no, this isn't my first attempt. That's why I had no faith in myself. My first attempt I got carried away; I had a few fully colonized grain jars that I successfully g2g transferred, and ended up with about 70 fully colonized jars. I was going to do one last g2g and end up with a few hundred jars, doing one giant bulk batch. But I put all my eggs in one basket. I ended up having to leave my house for a month due to personal reasons and had to abandon my project. I returned to 70 dead jars, drowned in myc piss. Actually, a few black, disgusting looking fruitbodies were inside the jars, freaks of nature, determined to grow.
My second attempt, I used a shitty spore vendor (Won't name them, but they rhyme with 'tree smores'.). Reviews went down drastically and I didn't notice. Half my jars were duds, no contam and no myc, and the other half were solid contam, all around the areas of inoculation.
This is my third attempt. I used a new vendor, not saying which one, but it worked. However, I have a police officer neighbor who thought I stole his mail, which is a felony and long story short, he ordered a bullshit search warrant for my house. I had a few minutes to prepare, so I dumped all my jars just incase. 3 rye grain jars survived, and I used those to successfully fruit this. I got 1.5oz dry from 3 pint jars, so I feel good.
Also, I gave them to friends and they all said they tripped good, even off little amounts like 2g.
Thank you for the support guys. I couldn't have done it without constant support and help from the Shroomery and I plan to contribute as much as possible. Starting Monday, when I get my paycheck, I will be creating 1-2 batches a week for the next several months, and I plan to grow pounds. I wish to store them in perfect conditions, and have enough shrooms to trip for years.
