If it has only been 4 days, then wait another 4-6 days. How deep is that substrate?

Or maybe you need to learn what hyphal knots are 
So is this gonna be another 3.5 oz wonder or are you actually planning to dial this one in?

I dunno is it? Most of your tubs look like the FAE is low. That's why despite your good pinsets, your fruits come out stringy and with small caps. You need better llighting too. I usually aim for at least 5-6 oz with ms. This tub was ms and still put out 331 grams first flush.

I dunno either, I think so. There are big dry rings around the holes at least

Then your sub is either not field capacity or not deep enough to support your pinsets. Full pinsets like yours should be pushing out double what you're seeing. Your small caps are bothersome as well. Sure sometimes that is genetic but as consistent as yours have been are making me think its environment.
You seem to be cropping out the walls of your monos tho so I can't tell if your holes are properly stuffed and I can't see the lines of condensation either.

I think it's mostly genetics but I usually get larger fruits on later flushes.
Maybe this will help.

Pasty, I was wondering why the two holes you have on the side of that monotub are taped over with micropore it looks like. I thought taping over holes with micropore was advised against? Also, do you find that having six holes near the surface layer is better than just four with two holes higher up on the sides? I'm trying to find the best possible way to make my monotubs in the future. Truly amazing grow btw!! I gotta pick up some penis envy syringes soon!!

Hmm. Top holes are tight for sure. I would loosen those once the pinset is in. Not much heat being generated by the sub. How thick is it? If its 3 inches or more than I'm gonna say its probably a touch dry. If its less than 3 inches I would bump that up to at least 3 next time. 2 inch subs are okay in cased or really controlled situations but they need to be perfect field capacity.

That is not a standard 6 hole design. That mono has 10 holes. Most have poly. You just can't see it under the fruits.

All right, it's 3 inches. The tub is 100 quarts.

Six holes for 100 quarts is gonna be hard to get the FAE right. I would also use a minimum size hole of 1.25" for a tub that big. If you are only getting 3.5-4 oz from a 100 quart mono you really need to get stuff dialed in better.
Next time work on field capacity, get it perfect. Possibility consider adding another hole at sub level on the short sides. Casing helps by allowing you to really up the FAE without loosing RH at the surface.
For now I would really loosen up that poly on the top holes and lightly mist the sub if it starts to look dry. It actually looks a tad dry already, probably from the sub not being field capacity. Get you a 8 oz flush instead of 4. Then you won't need to keep it for 9 flushes to see a good yield

My other tub is half the size, it was that one that produced only 3.3 oz.
This one should be better, if I don't fuck something up that is

Okay cool I'm gonna use a 66 quart tub and I was gonna make two holes(about 1 1/2") on opposite sides and two holes up top on the shorter sides. That's what I've seen most people do with those size tubs. The larger sized tubs need more holes for sure. Good to know, thanks!

Once you see a few pins try and loosen the poly in one of the top holes, then mist if it looks dry. You should see a better result.

Yeah, I'll give it a try. Thanks. I think casing would do a lot of good on my grows but I haven't gotten to it yet.
Where did cron go by the way? He used to be very helpful

Good information here, thanks Pasty. I'll be doing my first mono when my grains are colonized.
