First PE monotub blob harvest...now what?

Hey guys,
This morning I harvested 25g of PE blobs from my first grow. I tried to focus on the softest blobs that had clearly stopped growing, leaving the smaller, harder ones to see if they grew any more. They were all pretty small, biggest was ~1/2" diameter.
I'm hoping for some guidance on how to get the best out of the rest of this grow. Thus far I've only seen one tiny flopped over pin that doesn't appear to have blob genetics...circled in red.

The past couple days I've seen tiny new growths, which I really hope are the start of actual fruit pins instead of new blobs. Should I harvest the rest of those small blobs today to give potential pins more room?
I've been lightly misting the surface daily when necessary. My initial plan was to heavily mist the surface after the first blob harvest, but now I'm not so sure. Will that damage new pins? There's a section of what look like aborts on the left side of the surface towards the bottom, adjacent to an FAE hole. I misted a bit heavier than usual a couple hours ago, and this abort area appeared shortly after.
I'm also wondering how I should dry these blobs. I've read that big blobs should be cut up to make sure everything dries in a dehydrator. Are these guys small enough to keep whole, or should I cut them up?

Thanks in advance for any guidance. And lots of thanks to all shroomery TCs. Months of research on this forum led to where I'm at with this first grow, and I truly appreciate it.
Cheers!!

Looks like you decided to jump in head first - bulk and PE for a first grow! Did the exact same thing. 
PE's will tend to blob on the first flush so your outcome is expected; however, while it's tough to tell from your picture what the surface conditions are, at first glance it looks matted and I'm not seeing any water droplets on there. For surface conditions I reference ComebackKid's writeup.
Maybe someone else can weigh in on how to recover a matted surface and whether you should dunk before round 2.
Good luck!

Those will dry fine.
That one you circled I count as a blob. Every time I have those they stay that size, usually with huge caps.
There’s not much to do from here but wait. Second normal flush should come soon.
