First flush from first monotub. Ok but not great - thoughts?

Hi all!
So this is my second grow, first was BRF cakes last year (which did well).
This is my first monotub attempt. As the pins were forming I had to leave for 2 days and came back to this:

A bit more mature than I'd like. But in any case, harvest time!
My only concern is that the fruits are a bit spindly and few and far between. I used 4 quart jars (rye) to 1 coir brick + 2 quarts verm.
Does this flush seem more or less in line with that spawn ratio?
Genetics are from spore print grown out on agar dishes (no isolation).
Any opinions would be highly valued

They’re stretching for air and need more fresh air. The top holes probably need to be opened up more.

A good BE to shoot for is 1 dry oz per quart spawned, so it looks to be a bit shy. Just clone your best looking fruit, and do another run

Hey guys!
Thanks for the super fast replies.
StygianKnight i think you're right since i'm doing a no hole (lid slightly open) approach with fanning - however as i was away they received no fanning over the past two days when the most growth happened. Makes sense why they're stretching their necks 
PopaCap thanks for that benchmark, now i know how to gauge future grows. Btw the fruit in the picture came in at around 710g wet. Hopefully the second flush will bring it closer to the mark
I'm just glad it fruited at all since the tub just sat there for 3 weeks after spawning. I thought it had died from invisible contam or something...

What about those big ass holes in your tub, did you tape them up or something?
I've never seen mushrooms that lanky before..

Hey SpunkyMonkey
The holes are taped up. After doing some more reading it's definitely the FAE that's causing the thin growth habit. I also need to dial in my lighting a bit better.
Second flush here we come!

Not a bad yield at all for a first timer esp considering the pinset. What size tub is that?

Thanks guys! 
Yeah I'm just really glad it worked out and didn't turn into a 2 month waste of time.
In other news, the "backup" tub i started a bit later in case the first one flopped is actually doing slightly better - which i chalk up to better misting/fanning/lighting.

Still not exactly a shroom jungle canopy, but not bad for 4 quarts of spawn. Happy days

Haha, how did you know there was one? It's still colonizing, will fruit around Christmas time
P.S the "backup tub" yielded about 1100g wet, not bad at all! The first tub developed trich after dunking so probably won't get much in the way of another flush.

Haha it's too late I already am! Rolling in more shrooms than i know what to do with but I'm already thinking about cloning/isolating my genetics for better flushes and trying new strains. Even planning on trying a pan cyan grow FFS. What have i become lol

I was away for christmas and came back to find the mothership had emerged from my first tub's second flush. Along with a few relatively smaller (still big) fruit and a tidal wive of green. I'm guesstimating the net weight for all the fruit is around 400g wet. Trich is getting out of hand though so I'm gonna toss it after the caps mature a bit more.
Don't mean to turn this thread into just flex posting, but this is truly the biggest guy i've ever seen in real life. Kind of blown away since it was just a normal-sized pin when i left a couple days ago. A christmas miracle?

The "backup backup" tub is finally pinning. This will be the last stretch for my first bulk grow. This is a really rewarding hobby! I'll do a final update when the last tub has fruited. Thanks for all the input guys
