In this pic there are a bunch of small all most nail head size dots of white spots, you have to zoom in but they are all over. I just don't know what I'm looking at, are these what turn into pins? Is it just knots? I don't feel they are good or bad.
I just want a better understanding of what I'm looking at.

Hyphal knots, these will turn into primordia, then pins, and finally, MUSHIES!

I don't think so. It's hard to tell with the squeeze test because the amount of water that comes out is proportionate to how big of a handful of substrate you pick up. But I did I think 4 quarts of water with a 647g brick of coir so it should be in the ballpark. I thought this bruising was a result of my last set of tubs getting too much heat and direct sunlight, but this tub hasn't had any issues with that its entire lifespan, and I really shouldn't have had to mist much if at all until the first flush. Whatever is causing it is probably to blame for why my fruits were so tiny last time. I imagine this tub will show similar symptoms. Maybe it's a sign that in my environment I'm going to need to start trying proper casings?

Back Story: 3rd monotub. Golden Teachers using BODs Easy AF teks. Spawned these oats to coco 15 days ago. Initially I had been using a fan in the grow closet but realized that I may have dried out the surface and fucked it. Have since stopped using a fan. There are tons of knots on the surface but I am dealing with 84F - 86F temps during the day 40-60% RH and am having to mist 2-3 times a day to keep surface moisture up even with the lid flipped and seated to manage fast evaporation of surface moisture.
1) How does the surface look. Too wet/too dry? I recently misted but it doesnt really bead up anymore. There are lots of knots. How do i make them into pins?
2) . I was at work (12hrs) and the substrate dried up a bit on the sides dispite using bubble wrap on the surface. The sides pulled away giving me TONNES of side/bottom pins. Does this effect top pinning yields? Would putting the lid on the way the way i do for colinization (not latched) be advisable during 12 hour days?

My last two tubs I had covered the spawn with small amount of casing and had a fan on it and had better pins on the top and minimal side pinning but I had to mist way too often. My next two tubs are exposed grains. They are colonizing very fast. 3 days in and the surface is 50-60% covered with fluffy white goodness. I have stopped using a fan in order to preserve surface moisture and to avoid the issues i had last time.
3) . Should I put these to "growing conditions" now or wait? What do you mean exactly by 100% colonized? Just the surface or the whole substrate?

Stilll learning. Thanks for your work!!

100% colonized means 100% colonized. Obviously not just the surface that wouldn't necessarily be 100%

I'm doing a side by side this week with the same culture of PE. One spawned and put into immediate fruiting conditions. The other has the lid on correctly with no latches (colonization). Interested to see if I see a difference in speed or pinset.

Great TEK Bodhi. I'm just curious....has salt buildup in various types of coco coir ever been an issue? In my green growing times, I'd often have to wash the coir several times in RO/Distilled H20 and check it with TDS/EC pen. Just wondering if most suppliers now wash it better or if it's been an issue. I'd hate to get to my bulk stage and blow it on a technicality.

I'm starting to take daily pics as of today. They were spawned on 7-29 and 7-30. Ill make a thread once I've compiled a few days worth of photos.

Salt buildup in coco? Never heard of that. Thought this was posted by Crispykoot because of the avatar

If your buying your coir from a reputable garden center or grow store (preferred)its usually comes well rinsed and ph adjusted, also usually comes in much larger bricks that are very heavily compressed (pretty sure my bricks that make 6 mono's each expand to approx 2cf). The EC on some cheap coir bricks can be crazy, but I'm still unsure how the mycelium would handle the higher salt content and wild pH vs how plants like herb cant deal.
