Advice needed on flushing and current pin condition please.. (pics)

Well 2 days ago I saw my first couple of pins, and now I have 100+, which is awesome. I do have a couple questions though.
1. Some pins are maturing faster than others and it seems like new baby pins are popping up daily. When flush time comes around, do I only harvest ones where the veil broke?
I'm at work away from home 9 hours out of the day and if I could prevent spores from falling and ruining subsequent flushes, it would be ideal.
2. When the pins have the white dots on them is there a problem? Lack of anything or do they look healthy?
3. Are spore prints from a fruit of clusters better than a spore print of a giant meaty fruit in your experience?
4. How would I go about dunking these? Submerge them in tap water for a couple hours, stick a pipe in the bottom holes, and flip the tub upside down to allow it to drain? Then place back in sunlight and wait for more fruit?
I plan on buying RR's video soon, I just have no funds on PayPal right now.




If it was Tl;dr I apologize, but hope you at least enjoyed the pron.

Nice pron. 
I'll attempt to answer some of your questions.
1)Personally i tend to harvest most, if not all, of the mushrooms at the same time. I'd rather get everything ready for the next flush. Some spores getting on the surface is really not a problem in my experience.
2) Your pictures are a bit grainy, but the pins appear fine to me. I don't see any signs of bacterial blotch or any molds or mildews.
3) lol i'll guess you meant cluster of fruit? It would be more awkward to take a clean print from a cluster, but it would increase the genetic diversity of the spore print.
4) Dunking with tap water should be fine as long as the water quality where you are at is ok. I don't know what you mean about pipes and holes though.

1. unless you have a clone or isolate culture chances are you won't get very distinct flushes, harvest as you go, or all at once. harvesting is a personal preference thing.
2. universal veil remnants
3. doesn't fucking matter. if you were to clone a shroom you would pick the best one, for a print you could print the worst one but it wouldn't mater spores reset the genetic lottery, hence why the name "variety" of a spore syringe doesn't really matter at all. each two spores that mate successfully is a strain, if you grow and you started with spores you literally have 100s if not 1000s of strains in your substrate working together as a single organism. most of your fruits are actually multiple strains in one mushroom.
4. however you want.

In order to drain the sub after dunking I'm thinking the tub would have to be flipped upside down so all the extra water drains out. I have to put something that goes from hole-hole on the bottom like a pipe or something so that the substrate doesn't plop on its "face" when I turn the tub upside down...hope that makes sense.
Is that how you all dunk?
Also what does universal veil remnants mean?
This is my first grow ever, owe it all to you all who reply with your informative posts. Seriously! So glad I joined this forum instead of some of the other outdated/misinformed ones!

Dat Tribal Dunk
The UV is just mycelium, it's a protective outer coating.. It sometimes stays on till harvesting time
I tend to pick and let the ones that are small mature.. I don't believe there is any motive for picking them all at once.
