Thanks Mazdar Alright fellas. I've been holding out on the tub shots till I could get a decent pic. AA+ pins seem to blend right into the sub.
Tub 1 pinset is coming in very nicely
 There are still plenty pins along the outer edge that are too white to make out in the picture.
Tub 2 was spawed 24 hours later. Pins are twice as lanky. Pinset hasn't filled in as nicely. Not as many pins on the outer edge but still should be a promising turnout.

Tub 2 has a ceiling fan on in the room most of the time. Both tubs are still set up with default MP tape. I'll probably open up tub 1 a bit in 24 - 48 hours.

I feel like all the AA+ I've ever grown have been slightly less potent than any other cube strain I've done.
They look pretty as hell though. (Until you touch them...)Really like the bell looking tops.

Cluster update:

Pinset had finally filled out! Opened up my MP tape for more FAE.
Top holes left a 1/4 inch gap between the 2 pieces of tape
Bottom holes moved one piece a half inch higher
Will update with pics tomorrow

Twice as many pins popped out of nowhere in the last 24 hours as well

So is that about the right amount of moisture you should aim for on the substrate surface? i just had a tub that looked like that all over... lots of big beads of water pushing out of the surface. I decided to really open up the poly for about 24 hours to let it all dry out and I think I may have let it dry a bit too much. So I'm wondering where that sweet spot is for surface moisture.
Basically I thought the moisture level was getting excessive
Looks like a really good pinset though, maybe I should just take this as a case in point of what to shoot for

I'll post a pic tonight when I see my tubs. These are the biggest droplets I've had yet but I decided to take no action and let it ride out. Usually I would have smaller beads of water on the surface and the pins would drink it up after a couple days of growing. Very pleased with the results so far. This is the nicest pinset I've had yet. Wall to wall with pins and still quite a bit of surface moisture. I opened up the MP tape yesterday because I don't think I'll be getting many more pins and I'm sure they could use more FAE.
I honestly thought that they would have drank the water by now  I'm still feeling things out, as I'm just a beginner, but so far I'm pleased with the amount of surface moisture.

Updated original post with cluster pics

Veils are starting to form. And I got my first upside-down fruit. Fuzzy side up 

I'm very impressed with tub 1. Hoping to get a little more growth before veils break. I know with a pinset like this I may end up with a lot of smaller fruits but lookin promising so far!

Tub 2 is chugging along. I'm a bit concerned with some pink spots on the sub. Going to look into it after this post. Pink spots are in the center and center left.

I was really lucky with these spores. I took spores to one plate and they happened to germinate right away.
Although I have had trouble germinating KSSS spores. I went through ~12 plates of agar with no success. Then made 5 plates of BRF paste. One of which finally germinated. This was over 2 months of trying.
More spore solution isn't going to help though. Try different agar recipes and BRF paste. I think softer agar may help too. If you're doing pasty plates try 2 grams agar instead of 2.5

I think 2 grams potato flakes is not enough. Recipe calls for 2 tsp potato flakes. I think it end up being close to 7 or 8 grams
