Wanted to get an opinion from the pros. Its been ten days of colonization to coir/verm/gypsum. Time to fruit? Thanks in advance for your insight.

I still see some uncolonized sections of coir. Wait until full colonization before fruiting, you'll get better pinsets.

Wasn't planning on casing since I had read it didnt benefit cubes. Is that old info?

I am currently running cases and uncased as I wanted to see the difference for myself. Bigger pinset, larger fruits is what I found. I will never not case again.
I think one of the observable differences to me is it was easier to get a more even surface with the 1/4" casing than with the sub as a whole- thusly providing a surface which was easier to knot and then pin on en masse. It's actually looking like I'm even going to get a better pinset for the second flush.

Thats a beautiful tub!!
Are you planning on letting it consolidate before fruiting it? Ive heard its beneficial!!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Im very tempted to put it into fruiting, but I'm doing my best to make sure its 100%. There is still a small patch that is being stubborn. So far its been 12 days colonizing.

Im not experienced enough yet to give any solid advice.
But if it were my tub, I'd give it a few more days and see what happens. From the pictures it looks like there might be some slight progression...
That myc network looks so gnarly! I cant wait to see that bad boy fruit.

I use straw but I always wait for full colonization and then give it a few more days after that before fruiting.
