B+ Monotub Looking Sexy (Update w/pics)

Hey there fam,
Been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd show you my day 7 colonizing mono. MS Syringe > WBS > Manure. 107qt tub. 3.5" depth. 1:1.6(ish) ratio.


Ready to fruit soon, wouldn't you say? Thought about jumping the gun and putting into fruiting mode, but I think I'll be patient and let it finish doing its thing. If any other experienced growers could give me some input and their two cents that would be excellent and much appreciated.

you could fruit it now id say.
looks a tad dry which is why some of it may not be colonized.

It shouldn't be. I've opened the lid and the humidity and co2 hit me like a brick wall to the face, although I realize that actually has nothing to do with the sub itself. I actually made it more on the wet side and is growing nicely and quite fast in comparison to tubs I've done in the past.
Btw, I'm seeing knots and little "puff balls" - spherical in nature as you can see in the pics, especially the second. Maybe one more day won't hurt. Thanks for the input! It's been a while.
Btw, how can I check to see if my sub actually is dry while also not trying to provoke it in this colonization process?

Day 9:

Should I go ahead and induce fruiting conditions? Looks strong to me, but it would be nice to have some opinions of other experienced growers. It's been a little while for me.

Thank you! Put into fruiting mode yesterday and that last bit of colonization finished this morning when I woke up. This looks promising to me. Thanks for the reassurance, just what I needed!

Bump.
I mist the surface the day after I fruited as the top of the sub looked a tad dry. It is still sparkling with water from that. Fan is pointed near the tub on low and took a little more polyfil out of one top hole. Should I be aiming to have the surface dry and replace with moisture on a more frequent basis or was 3 days post misting with water sparkling on the top of the sub the better route? TC's, feel free to chime in.

I'm no pro but I don't think you want a fan pointed at a mono. Looks great man ✌

I've read multiple times that's not what you want. However, I did read a thread where RR recommended taking the top polyfil out and also cracking a window (which I've also done, besides the polyfil part). I just don't want the sub to get too dry while I'm away during the day, so I'm trying to play it safe, but I suppose that means nothing if it's not correct.
And ty for the compliment. It is beautiful and there is a little knotting in some spots.

Update:
Few pins, and lots of knotting around the edges. The knotting is starting to creep in to the middle. I think I over misted at one point, so I opened it up and let the fan run for a bit.

Do you think this will benefit from a late casing of straight verm? I'd like to get the microclimate right and doesn't seem to be the case in the middle. Some dry verm might also help soak up any standing water left and then I can lightly mist accordingly. If this is a good idea, how deep of a casing do I need? Thanks.

Update:
Here are some, but there are tons of pins under the verm - it's a thicker layer.

Thanks everyone! Came home to this and there are still tons of pins and primordia under the verm, took a picture where I moved some verm out for you all to see. I've used the same vendor for some of my past grows and these suckers are def potent, can't wait to give em a go.

Late casing of straight verm. I'd say it's about 1/4" thickness across. I have to move some verm out of the way just to find more pins, but this morning some of them have started to surface. I'm pleased thus far. Lots of clusters on the edges where my knots and pins originally started before the casing. Hoping to get more action in the middle of the sub from the casing. Thanks for checking in, everyone!
This morning:



I noticed a bit of fuzzy feet at the base of some, not a lot - figured it could be due to the verm so I've opened up my top holes a bit more.
I have 6 jars I just G2G last week of Ecuadors from a stalled jar and they are doing superb. About to do another mono this size for them as well. Thinking I'll use more sub to make it deeper. Do you late case or case as soon as your fruit? I feel like if I had done the latter, my pinset would be even better than it is now.

Ty for stopping by! How can I make them, fahter? These aren't looking as large as I was hoping for and thinking the MS has a role in it.

Thanks for the timely response! Respect. Really looking forward to the flushes I'll get from this. Gonna keep dunking and harvesting until there's nothing left.

And my first flush harvest:

There's well over an O in the jar and I speculate another two or three on the trays. I'm pleased. Celebrated Cinco de Mayo with my gf - she doesn't trip but I decided to take 4g, drink a mojito, and play arcade games with her followed with an intense and long night of amazing sex. I was getting amazing visuals and at one point in the public arcade place, I had to sit down and just breathe as it was so intense. This is coming from someone who used to average 4-5g daily for months - albeit was a couple years ago. She had never seen actives before so I brought some with me to show her - she said it looks like something Schmiegal would eat for nourishment, at which point, I almost died from the lack of air due to how hard I was laughing. Haha, good times.

I'm so stoked - I've had good grows in the past that I didn't document and regretted not doing so. This is by far one of my better tubs. I'm excited to see what these isolates and clones I'm working on will do.
The weird thing is I feel like I barely did anything to get to this stage. All I did was provide the right environemnt and the intellectual mycelium did the rest.
It almost feels like cheating how easy it came to "fruition" - pun highly intended. I'll friend you man, I have other varieties I'm about to spawn and can take prints and possibly do a little swippity-swap. Do you have any good clones or isolates you wanna trade for microscopy? Pop my cherry and be my first. Ha.
