First Pins?

Bod's unmodified tub, Broke Boi Tek bag to coir, 1:1.5 ratio. APE. About 21 days since spawn to tub. My first tub ever. I think I'm about to be happy.
How much should I be misting at this point?

Soon, They have a different colored head. I have not done monotub but I have done plenty of jars so have seen plenty of pins.

Oh yes, I see tons of primordia there, and some are very close to pins.

These are supposed to be albino, we'll see.

There are at least a half a dozen clusters like that.

There are several that have developed the distinctive head and stalk shape. Still only ~1/8 inch long, but they be coming!
I owe a ton to this community. Thank you all.

After seeing this broke boi tek pop up a lot recently I just googled it.
Decent concept, shakeble spawn with grains small enough to steam sterilize. Or according to the tek rice works with spores because of its “inherently low endospore” count.
Looks like you’ll have some real nice clusters.
Lol 21 days. Good old PE.

I actually PC'd the bag, and used LC. Yeah, I'm pretty pumped about the clustering. It's advanced considerably since I posted this pick a few hours ago.
Is it normal to check them every thirty minutes? ;-)

It's the go-to on r/shrooms on reddit. For beginners, check out "Uncle Bens Tek". Basically this in Uncle Bens ready to eat brown rice in a bag. Sterilize the needle, sanitize the outside of the bag, stick it, cover with micropore. It's spendier per unit spawn. Both work quite well with spore syringes. I used about 3 lb cooked brown rice on a standard mushroom bag with filter port. Again, I was given some APE LC syringes.
Here's a link for interested parties. https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/8e7g6n/how_to_grow_bulk_without_a_pc_or_brf_cakes_broke/

I just think that the endospore stuff is irrelevant and the actual reason it works is because the rice is small enough to steam sterilize, which you can’t do with bigger grains.
If you’re in North America you can find PCs cheap enough that there’s no excuse not to get one. It’s like driving your car with flat tires because it still gets the job done.
lol I just hate the name. “Boi” is my least favorite newish word ever. Idk why it bothers me so much
Maybe this is the start of me being a grumpy old man 30 years ahead of time.

How to effectively bother A.k.a in the future. Good data.
What I find funny about the Boi tek, is that the Boi writing it probably doesn't realize that this method is one of the earliest methods ever used to cultivate mushrooms. It's like we spent all this time devising new techniques only to go back to the beginning again.  No disrespect to the Boi, it's a good tek on a low budget.

Strongly suspect I've got you beat on the codger index. I've been practicing to be one for 30 years. From a codger, to a codger-in-training, let me suggest that rolling with language is cheap and easy. ;-) Dude.
I have and used a a pc. No reason not to. Deeper in the conversations on r/shrooms are that a lot of folks use PC's and bags like this for best results, because, as you note, Prestos are quite reasonable. The evidence does suggest that this is a more effective, for the newb or, like me the recreational producer, approach. The rational explanation is, indeed, the endospore theory. Rye and oats are cheap, but rice is easy, and still cheap. My rice for this tub, cost me 3 bucks. That's the rationale for Broke Boi tek. Its a low cost approach to generous recreational yields.
