Thank you letter/help selecting genetics? 1

This is mostly a thank you to everyone on this site who takes the time to share their knowledge with random people like me. Without all of you on here there is no way I would have ever gotten this far. For the past couple months I've been reading through the literal sea of information that is on this site trying to get a grasp on how to start a grow. After I felt semi confident that I had at least a chance at success I went all fucking in, I have a 'go big or go home' mentality with stuff like this so I figured I'd just skip over the pf tek and go straight to a monotub, yah know, like an idiot.
I've currently got a 66qt tub going with about 4 qts of MS B+ spawn, things are going pretty well overall. It took longer to colonize than I was expecting (like 11 days?) but it might have actually been ready before that and I just didn't know how to read it. So anyway I fruited it, and for a first attempt I feel like I ended up with an alright pinset. The growth has just been crazy! I seriously think that you could in real time watch them get bigger, unreal. The only issue I've run into is some fuzzy feet so I've increased airflow as much as I feel comfortable and I've seen people say that can just be genetics so I'm not too worried about it.
So, my question is this, how do you guys go about actually picking which fruits you want to clone? I know I'm still a ways off here, but with how fast these things are growing I feel like now's the time to ask. I've already got a couple plates of APE going from a syringe for my next batch of spawn so I'm fine working with agar, and the process of cloning makes sense but I don't have enough experience to actually pick a damn fruit. Do I go with something off of the clusters? Should I avoid anything with the fuzzy feet, or do I just go for the biggest fastest bitch in the yard? What do you guys look for when you're picking genetics? Does it really even matter that much? Is isolating down the line more important? I don't know, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, thanks to anyone who listens and thank you again to the community as a whole.

Here's where we're at so far

People usually wait and clone the largest fruit or the nice looking cluster. They are all basically the same genetics at this point. You are just looking to select the best section of this genetic material. If you clone from the inside of a mushroom in a cluster your more likely to express that trait on agar and pass it on to subsequent jars and tubs. If you select the largest fruit, you will end up expressing that trait and grow out larger fruits from that clone.
Make sure to use tissue from the inside of the fruit and not the outside. There are a lot of great cloning Tek on this site.

Thanks guys sounds good, and yeah that's basically the plan, if id known how simple agar was when I first started these guys I would have taken that route for sure but I'm happy with the results so far

Lolol did you actually try cloning it? Or did you think it was bc of the bacteria? Even if the tub was a bust if i got something like that out of it I'd be laughing my ass off, that things a monster!
Btw, the tub seems to be coming along nicely, hows she look?

It’s still growing actually, gonna let that flush finish itself then see what it weighs.
Once the other pins started popping it kind of stalled, so I think it was just a pre-casing pin that took off a little early and had no competition for a couple weeks. Very slow tub.
