Is this funky?

... I'm thinking it's just some water pooling up on the side sort of magnifying a spot I looked in there and smelt it and everything smells like fresh mushrooms no funkiness on smell test.....good to go?

Looks like it was a bit overly wet when spawned or something. Possibly bacterial spawn. It's hard to say, but the not white nature of it looks weird. I know none of my boxes have looked like that.
A lot of people harvest plenty from bacterial spawn as well, so even if it is it could be just fine.

Yea I was thinking it looked a little wet,but if I remember correctly,this was the bagged coir that was overly wetted and then squeezed/verm back to field capacity?I say just let them ride.

Thanks for feedback.... like I said everything smells good and such... I'm going to start the 12 and 12 light cycle today....
... on subsequent boxes should I make my mixture a little more dry? I mean I squeeze the s*** out of it and added vermiculite to the point where when I squeezed it hard no drops of water came out I would call it just a touch dryer then Field capacity.... I can definitely add a little more vermiculite to make it just a little more dry if you guys think that would be a good idea?

Started 12/12 today... so will these start pinning on their own whenever they're ready? Is there anything more I need to do?

It will pin when it's ready,and it looks just about ready. Keep doing what you're doing.

Hmm... I don't really know s*** so I'm not a great source of information but I've pretty much followed the tek exactly and it seems to work pretty good. My s*** has the myc colonize in 24 to 48 hours after spawn. Then I put the light on it after 11 days. Have my first pins 24 hours later.... fingers crossed but so far so good especially for my first grow and I really think shoeboxes are awesome
Is your room the right temperature?...

1st Pins!
Any suggestions about side pinning I'm definitely looking to get and even flush across the surface of the substrate. Is it natural for the sides to pin first and then fill in the center? Is there anything I can do or just let it be? I made the surface as flat and level as possible

Looks good. I've had this happen as well,pins started at the edges of the sub.My last 27qt pinned and fruited mostly around the edges.Just let it be,It will fruit.
@whiskeyman:Your tub should be getting the GE it needs unless you have it all taped up and sealed.What was your spawn/sub ratio?

First tub, so thats likely the problem

Super simple BRF cake shoebox assembly.
Prep and gather supplies.
 Birth and rinse cakes,shred them.
 1/4 brick(about 2qt)bucket tek prepped coir/verm added and mixed well with shredded cakes.
 Level it out and put the lid on.
 I love the simpleness of shoeboxes!
