First grow pics and question on uneven pin sets

Hi everyone. This is my first grow and I'm looking for feedback please. I see from the FAQ section that it's best to harvest all together over a course of 1 day for best results. The problem looks like I haven't gotten an "even pin set" so my babies aren't fruiting/maturing at the same time. I read this means I didn't have an efficiently colonized substrate but I waited till all jars were totally white. So is it ok to harvest as they come in or should I wait on the others to mature? Thanks so much!

Ok seeing the pictures i say pick the done ones. Spore cover mushrooms arent that tasty. Second why no sgfc chamber? Is this another one of those kit grows? Those people are great at marketing

Drill some holes in that bad boy! Also why no dunk and roll? And lose the digital hygrometer it will crap out in a week in that box.

I only have the hydrometer in there when checking levels. I wasn't aware I needed to drill holes (thank you!!) I didn't dunk and roll because I didn't get extra "stuff" to roll in within the kit I bought.
I know a lot of y'all look down on the sgfcs but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and lessen risk of contams in my first grow. I've learned alot this round for sure and look forward to PF Tek next time.
Will the others be ok if I neatly and quietly harvest the read ones?
I'm grateful for all the wisdom! Thank you

A lot of times the mushies wont be all mature at once. The ones that are about to drop spores, you just cut the cap off to let the others mature without being covered in spores. And yes theyll be okay just dont let any drop spores. They do that once the caps are almost flat looking

I hate when I see this shit.
What's your explanation behind not having a single hole in your FC? A tub that big should, literally, have about 300-500 holes in it.

Untrue, improperly built sgfc's are looked down upon. Properly built ones are encouraged.

There's no holes because I'm using an air pump I'm guessing.

Turn that into a sgfc that shitty midwest kit is going to nose dive your progress. You need FAE and that thing isn't going to cut it.

Well you're guessing very wrong.
Throw that air pump away and drill holes in your tub.
I love how you're trying to be a smartass, yet are extremely wrong lol.
After reading your other posts,it looks like you're polite and open to learn. Kind of in a bad mood, sorry. I assumed by your "I'm guessing" at the end that you were insinuating a "no shit Sherlock" type deal. I apologize. Just drill holes in your tub in a 2x2 pattern mate, and you'll quickly see better results.

Awe, it's ok. It's easy to misunderstand over text. I meant that I guess they sent the air pump to be used for air exchange in lieu of the holes. I definitely come here in humility and respect for everyone. I appreciate everybody's helpfulness!!

I still don't see any holes... trust me man. The quicker you make the holes, the much better off you'll be.
Also multispore is totally luck of the draw. Some will be fatties, some will be string beans. 10000% random.

Oh Lawd! I just ran holes all in the sucker. My husband bolted out of the bed like a rocket from all the racket! Thanks for all the advice. IDK what I'm doing I'm just trying to "find myself" and maybe pick up some knowledge along the way...
I just harvested big daddy..I wish that blue/green color didn't freak me out so much. LOL

Plan to see even more results soon OP.
To be honest I'm surprised you have what you have so far without having holes until now. It's kind of impressive. But soon you'll be even happier b

good for you, those holes will serve you well my friend! and i am willing to bet those mushrooms will freak you out even more after you eat em might be some less-than-easy-to-name colors involved as well 
when starting a hobby, its often tempting to buy a kit and trust their marketing materials and assume they know what they are doing. they know how to sell kits is what they definitely know how to do ... much better than buying a kit would be just reading the links in bodhi's sig, its kinda a fasttrack to great projects
the good news is you were successful (lots of people are not with kits) and nothing is a waste: as you advance in the hobby you will easily think of uses for anything that could have come in the kit. you can easily repurpose it for something else, just like you turned the pump-chamber into a proper SGFC
