Looking forward to doing monotubs. But I've been considering doing both.

About to go into day 3. I'm like an giddy school girl and I feel like time is crawling by.
I do have a question about harvesting if anyone wants to give me their opinions.
I've read that prime time to harvest is after the veil breaks but before the fruits drop their spores. Is this true? The reason I ask is because some of the pictures I've seen of mature GT don't seem to have veils so how will I know if that's the case?

I agree it is the right time to harvest. If you can't see a veil then look for the cap pulling away from the stem and visible gills.

Thank you. Looking forward to my first ever harvest later this week. Is there a specific type of scissors I should use or will any pair work?

Don't use scissors. Gently twist and pull. Using scissors will leave a small part of the stipe on your cake which will end up rotting and contamming your grow. Trust me. Just be gentle with them. And yes, highest potency is achieved by picking them right as the veil is tearing. But honestly even if you leave them to full maturity they still hit pretty hard haha

I would recommend twist and pull on cakes probably but that's about it.

I twist and pull in my bulk grows and am very happy with results. Often new pins pop up right under the old. No bruising either. The tubs that I've seen cut are bruised as fuck. I saw that RR recommends cutting and that mushroom farms cut, but I think they cut to save time. The twist and pull takes a fair amount of time or you can pull up substrate.

I don't doubt that. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Absolutely. 
I think my main thing is not having coir/verm all over the base of the mushrooms. I don't have time to clean all that crap off and it's easier if it's not even there in the first place haha

 If I'm not mistaken a few of these are getting pretty close to harvesting time.

Just as the veil is tearing from the stem or just before is best  That one to the side of the cake in the 1st pic already tore its veil, you could probably pick that one now.
