B+ & GT First time ever grow. Jars & monotubs, Fruiting pics included! Must See!!

Hello and first I would like to thank everyone on this site, the information given here has tremendously helped me along the way. I've read for hours on end at some points and seems like I still have an eternity to go.
About my grow so far I have successfully inoculated 6 jars they grew extremely rapidly, I also inoculated 2 2lb spawn bags which did great as well. Those 2 bags were transferred into a monotub of their own with an 80/20 mix (coco-verm) colonized beautifully now in fruiting stage along with cakes in their own FC. I had a small concern and didn't want to post until I harvested but here I am. I am worried of a cobweb mold in the monotubs but upon reading more in the forums a lot of experienced users suggest it's healthy mycelium just stretching for new home.

Some useful information tub #1 was spawned on 10/22 tub #2 was spawned 10/24. Today 11/01 they were opened for first time ever to expel Co2 and introduced to light once I noticed how nicely they had colonized (in my opinion however) They will be on 12 hours light 12 dark just to help and a fan is far away blowing calmly toward them. FC has air pump. I guess what I'm looking for is some reassurance that I've come all this way and am still succeeding. Thanks everyone have a beautiful night.
======================== Timeline of Pictures. = ========================
I have taken the time to go through my post from the very start of this a couple weeks ago and sort the pictures from start to finish here so that you guys can view them easily without scrolling through. I will still ask general questions from time to time but pics will be added to first post to help condense. thanks for viewing. ================================== 11/04

Thanks for the feedback guys. I did 6 jars along with the tubs just because it's my first time I wanted to have more understandings of the different teks for my own knowledge purposes. I'm only Fruiting 2 in the chamber the others 4 I'm going to crumble and spawn to another tub. This is a very exciting hobby for me. I find this alone so fascinating. Again thank you for the feeeback I will be posting progress pictures as I hit milestones.
With the 2 cakes in the chamber Im going to try and take spore prints and create my own syringes. I've successfully recoloniZed my used spawn bags but that's only viable for so long. Again everyone here who contributed to this forum is part of my success I've read so much and I'm so thankful for All of you on here. Have a beautiful day.

Hello everyone. Here is another pic update on the pinning. The biggest ones are from the pic 2 days ago that I posted here. Noticed they were growing a little slowly so I increased FAE. Took all micro pore tape off all holes. Keeping temps around 70-72 they have noticeably began growing faster due to these slight changes. Thanks again. This is my first ever grow and the success of this wouldn't have been possible without the thousands of threads on this forum. See you guys again in another 3 days with more pic updates. Have a beautiful afternoon. (:
Varieties are B+ in tubs and Golden teach in cakes

Pin Porn. Seem a little fat and stocky so I closed side holes with micro pore tape and let 2 holes by handles completely open hoping they reach for the fresh air more. Is this a thing or did I get stubby genetics.
Any answer is fine because all is well. These are extremely potent I had the pleasure to sample side pins that would have otherwise rotted. Beautiful buzz. A little more and visuals would ensue.
Enjoy the pics.

looking good man. I wish I had a pinset like that going on in my mono. I also wish PE didn't take this long. This week you should be seeing some pretty large fruit by the weekend.

24 hour update I got home from work to see that the fruits have literally doubled if not tripled the size on some. What an amazing sight to see getting home from a long day let me tell you.
Question: when I harvest the monotubs how long do I let the substrate soak in water is it 6-12 hours like the cakes??. Has any one had experience dunking a monotub between flushes?

I think RR said something like 45 minutes is sufficient, and I read a thread recently where a guy dunked for like 1 hour and picked up 250 grams of water, then dunked for a bunch more hours and the cake soaked up a negligibly small amount more water in all the time after the first hour.
I think bod said he just fills his tubs to float the cake to harvest and then drains after and that is all the dunk he does.
I have also read threads about soaking for many hours held completely underwater with heavy objects but so far I am under the impression that you are going to get just about as much as you are going to get in the first hour of dunk.
I think I would float the cake to harvest and then pump all of the water back out with a water pump but I have never done it so I would also be interested in what experienced growers have to say.
Here are some RR quotes about dunking https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23639697/fpart/1/vc/1
That says only for 15 minutes or pour in only what it will absorb in a couple of hours.

And agar is easy. There’s not that much too it. No pour is a good way to get your feet wet.
