Monotub transfer

My monotub is hella side pinning as seen below. The pinning runs around the perimeter that dense.
 I can break the current container and transfer it to this one without damaging the large cake.
 I can Lay down foil saturate the perlite and get the humidity up and make bigger holes in the new container for air exchange and run it like a big BRF cake.
My question is should I transplant it or not you guys make the call.

I'd let it go in the original tub - it looks healthy, you're gonna get a decent amount of fruit. Not worth the risk of cracking or breaking the substrate to potentially get a bit more weight.
As your substrate absorbs water and begins pushing it into fruit bodies, it will begin to shrink naturally. This allows air to run all over the sides. Pinning is triggered by moisture evaporating from the monotub surface (i.e. air running over it). Which is what causes side pinning.
So for next time - if you line the tub with a big trash bag before dumping your substrate and spawn into the tub, it will help a ton. The plastic sticks to the moist substrate as it shrinks, not allowing any air to get to the sides. No air running over the sides = no side pins.
Whatever you decide to do, great looking grow!

fuck no leave it.
Its not too hard to harvest side pins. It helps to have someone pull the wall to create a gap that allows you to pick them. You can also flip the entire sub on its side very carefully and harvest the entire thing.
Worst case scenario just harvest with scissors along the sides.
