hello shroomery noob here,. I've been searching and reading for awhile now and well just to be safe rather than sorry i decided to post for suggestions etc.
info on my grow: wbs- Quart Jars- monotub 58qt 6 jars per- day 3 colonization
my questions: I've made mono tubs and shoe boxes, i used 6 quarts per tub, im on day 3 colonization and my first tub seems to be fully white on the top. would this mean it ready to fruit or do i wait longer? how do you know when to flip to fruiting? and how long can i postpone fruiting? like if i wanted to wait till all are ready till i fruited them? is that possible? last question,. during this period am i able to have lights on in that area to look at them? can i pop top to take a pic with harm?

What is your substrate?
You can lift the lid to take pics
Actually you Have to do this so people here can help you more
A casing layer after fully colonization isnt necessary for cubensis also it can enhance the fruits.
A top layer while its still colonizing isnt necessary too but you can do em anyway.
You can leave it a couple of days after fully colonization also people here like to fruit directly after 100% colonization.
Post some pics.

3 days is rather quick...I leave mine for at least a week minimum... so yeah you can wait until they all seem ready...as for the lights, yes have them on during colonization...light is beneficial to mycelium at all stages of life... and it is completely alright to open the tub up and snap a few pictures.

thanks for the replies, yeah after opening the tops i realized they were nowhere near finished must have been a glare of the tubs fooling me lmao anyways im on day:12 and here's current pictures
So when will i for sure know its time to fruit? I've been reading here and there and some say wait till a few pins pop, do these look like mini mushrooms people write about? also, i keep seeing these white looking hairs that go vertical? are those pins? if not,. what are they?
any who here's 1 pic per tub 5 shoe boxes and 4 monos this is my first grow: tips and info would be highly appreciated.
do these all look ok? does it look like theres too much water? when do i switch to fruit? how do i adjust poly-fill to the holes top n bottom? when do i know when to harvest
so far ive noticed a pin in two shoe boxes, in picture 2 there is one, and i forgot the other.

Good job for your first grow. Those look 100% colonized, so if it were me, I'd let them sit at least another week to consolidate, then I'd put into fruiting. Looks like a lot of polyfil also

I bet you weren't aware of my existence when you put "all input appreciated" in the thread title. Actually though, after careful review, I can't find anything to critique. 
So.. uh... your shirt.... reflects poor taste and a low budget and... uh.....your mom... bakes subpar desserts. (They aren't terrible though.)
So yeah, I bet you're weeping now. The regret is probably flowing at this point... Almost certainly. I've shown you!

3 days being very fast, it's probably best to let them chill out for a bit and consolidate. At some point, they'll just start going though. Lookin' good.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Dude's going big as fuck for his first time... and nailing it. Kinda scary. Either a prodigy, puppet, or longtime lurker. Or, I dunno, maybe the community succeeded, but that's a little farfetched.

I'd say that was perhaps even more out of left field than my first post in this thread. I got it though.

i originally found this site because i wanted to make those co2 bags for my grow rooms,. then i kinda decided to try this all out after seeing a few pictures of monotub fruiting pictures lol,. but yeah im really enjoying this so far,. my next step i plan on doing is converting an old grow tent"4x4x7" into a colonizing/fruiting chamber but still unsure of a few things about parameters..
Has anyone ever constructed a co2 bag?
thanks for all the replies.

I grow in my grow tent of those exact dimensions. I just put a bunch of monotubs and a wire frame shelf in there and stack them up however I can with lights. I try to get it so I don't have to lift anything heavy to open all the lids.

Hey guys, is consolidating tubs really necessary tho? I always fruit when the surface is fully colonized, usually after about 10 days. Thought that method was only used for cakes.

Not really necessary no. Consolidation stops being advisable the second you see pins.
