Just harvested the first flush of my first ever monotub. Massive success! [Pic] 1

I'm just posting because I'm so pleased and wanted to thank this community for educating me on the fine points of growing. Admittedly, I harvested a day too late but I'm okay with it.
I counted. There are 214 B+ shroomies! I don't know what the wet weight is because some jag stole my scale, but I'll have a new one in a few days and I'll post the dry weight.

Nice man, maybe you could explain in a few words your technique, just like
sporeprint -> Agar -> Grain -> Monotub CVG + Casing or not and so one?!
And post some of the Tek Tutorials you used here?
This would be helpful for me cause I am now at the agar station and I'd like to know, which way you went

Hmm...I'll look up some of the teks I found most helpful for you.
But until then...
Multispore syringe into sterilized 1 liter jars of rye berries.
Shook at 30% and waited till finished colonizing
Mixed two jars of berries and 2 jars broken up colonized PF cakes (dunno why I made those) into 66 liter container with a bulk substrate made from 1 block coir, 2 liters verm, around 1.5 cups coffee grounds, and 1 cup lime.
Container has several 1.5 inch holes covered with multipore tape (didn't feel like buying polyfill.
Did not use a casing layer but I may in the future.
Covered with tin foil with a few small holes for around 5 days till fully colonized.
Took FOREVER to start pinning but then it really took off.

The only thing I see wrong is all your stems and caps are still connected, which means no prints. Lol
Nice grow. Keep up the good work.

I hope you're not planning on drying on these paper towel monotub lids.

Oh, and I did make some spore prints. I think they are pretty hah.

Also, like within the hour of rehydrating the B+ monotub, it had turned purple and smells a little odd. I assume the purple is bruising? What's up with that?

Lastly on the docket, My PE tub is coming along nicely. (and yeah I know scraping is an outdated method)

Erhm...The B+ and PE tubs were set up at the same time with the only difference being that more verm (4 liters vs 2) was used in the PE tub. I figured, why the hell not use more, it will just keep the substrate hydrated. The PE sub did colonize muuuch faster and thicker, but then nothing happened for like a week after pins started forming in the B+ tub. I was suspicious about overlay even though people claim that it doesn't happen for cubes.
Sooo I drunkenly tried to "trick" the mycelium into pinning by scratching it to make it 'think' "Oh shit, we're taking damage, better put out pins before it is too late!" using the basis of thinking that many plants will flower when they are put in stressful environmental conditions. Who knows if it worked.
Anywho, I guess I can have my cake and eat it too hahaha

The purple is spores. Like you said, you harvested a bit late, and spores made a mess all over your fruits and tub. No big deal though. It won't affect the next flush. For best quality and overall cleanliness, harvest just before or after the veils break.

Ah, that is pretty much what I expected. Thanks.
Decided to harvest my PE last night to avoid the same issue. Crazy how fast it matured from the pic I posted a few days ago.

98 grams dry with the heaviest at 6.2 grams. dang dang

Nice, PE dosen't drop spores so no worries about that, it also takes longer to pin so don't scratch it great job bro,

Hmm...so when is the ideal time to harvest PE? I'm thinking I picked a pretty good time but perhaps I could have let it go for a few more days...?

That pic looks like great timing to me, when they get super wrinklely under the caps like that and the caps turn a lighter color.
